I like to take a trip to Trader Joe's every Christmas season to see what they have in store for fresh greenery and other goodies. I couldn't resist bringing home a fresh rosemary tree. It smells so good! And I think it looks so lovely as is. They have cute mini glittered pointsettas; I brought one of those home also. :)
I clipped a little cedar out of the swag I bought and added some fresh juniper to that and added it to some of my mini pillows from Dreamy Whites. I love this look for Christmas! I'm going to wrap my gifts like this.
Another shot of my little rosemary tree.
I am looking forward to baking and decorating Christmas cookies with my kiddos this week. I got my sprinkles and icing the other day. We are ready!
Before I go, I wanted to share a photo this afternoon of one of my paperwhite bulb planters... they are getting tall! I'm thinking that they will start blooming sometime this week because I can see the buds. I moved them to my window that gets the best light in the house and I think that gave them a boost.
I got the same little tree Lara from Trader Joe's. TJ's is my absolute favorite place for fresh flowers and herbs! I love your Christmas home, it looks so peaceful and warm! Beautiful photos as always!!

Beautiful photos and I love your little Rosemary tree!
ReplyDeleteLara,
ReplyDeleteI love the whole look you have going on for this holiday...love all the whites and creams and natural elements. I'm sure it's even cozier and prettier than your beautiful photos show.
Hope you are enjoying everything lovely about the holidays ~

Beautiful photos, as always Lara and in my favorite colors of the season...green and white:-)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to get one of those rosemary trees last time I was at Trader Joes, but they only had one left that day and it was kinda dried out. Hoping to try again soon.
Have fun baking!
