Hello, dear friends. Have you got all of your shopping done? Mine is checked off my list. I only hope that everything arrived. Every time a package is delivered to our less-than-orderly mailroom, I throw it in the back of the closet unopened and hope that when I retrieve it, the item will be wrapped and labeled.
We are off to Fort Worth today to check out some houses. I haven't been there since my #1 went to TCU. We do have our eyes on a house in Plano. As with everything, it has a few drawbacks, and we have debated back and forth as to whether we can live with them.
Today is an encore post. Here is some tablescape inspiration for your holiday table. As with almost every decor post on this blog, I cannot take one ounce of credit for the hard work and creativity.

Hello Katie, I am a faithful reader of your blog and have it on my blog list to visit daily. I am stopping by to day to comment. Sometimes when we blog we wonder who reads our musings and what they think. Even though I never comment I want you to know how much I enjoy seeing all your ideas and beautiful pictures. You are so clever and your blog gives me great ideas. Thank you for sharing your life with me. Peggy. Season-to-season.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI went to high school in SW Arlington, right on the edge of Fort Worth. It's amazing that FW has such a different vibe from Dallas, being only 30 minutes away. Good luck with the house hunting!
ReplyDeleteDrooling over all this holiday inspiration. I really need to kick things up a notch next year. Excited about your house possibilities ... can't wait to hear if either of these homes is THE one! Merry Christmas! xo
ReplyDeleteSome great ideas! Anxious to hear how the house hunting went!! xo
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see where you and the Mister land. We have dear friends in Plano and in Frisco as well. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI want your throw pillows.😍
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! I hope you find your forever home soon to start the new year right.
ReplyDeletePLANO?
ReplyDeleteOKAY will wait for the REPORT!
I have a similar ABBUSSON (even spell check it BAFFLED!) carpet here under my feet that BANKSY loves to curl up on!
I BOUGHT THE HAND WARMER FROM ANOTHER POST FOR THE SISTER IN LAW!

Beautiful finds Katie! Plus, I love your artistic skillset! :) Hope the magic of Christmas makes those presents wrap themselves! But if not, have fun. Merry Christmas either way!
ReplyDeleteAll gorgeous and inspiring! Hope you find the house you want and soon. And my fave pic of all? Your canine twosome! Have a wonderful Christmas week, Katie!
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteWe are California, born and raised, but in 1980 we were transferred to Arlington, TX. It was our first time living in another state. (except the mister's time in the army in Germany). I remember thinking Garland reminded me of the planned community we moved from (Irvine) and liking it.
Good luck with your home search. You clearly have great taste in homes since I loved your Boston home.
xo,
Karen
My firstborn and his family live in Plano!!! I think it's a great lil community. Hope you find something there. Lots of great restaurants and shopping with 1/2 the people of dallas proper. But Fort Worth is pretty cool too. Maybe Santa will bring you your perfect house!!
ReplyDeleteback to add: been meaning to tell you that you need to check out Turtle Creek Lane on instagram. She's in Dallas and you will be in awe!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! I hope Santa helps you find your new home. xo, Deb
ReplyDeleteHope you had good day on your house hunting. Love all these beautiful table ideas. I'll hang on to this post! Thanks Katie. Merry Christmas to you and your chef and your family...........
ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteI just came across your blog. You definitely want to live in Fort Worth. It is a great city that lives like a small town. Plano is so crowded and the traffic is awful. Look around the TCU area there are some great charming homes. Not too big with great charm.
We just moved to Kansas City from Fort Worth and we lived in the Berkley neighborhood and loved it. We would have never moved but our grandson is in Kansas City!
Beautiful inspiration. Looking forward to seeing your new digs, I heard Plano has some awesome houses. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful set of centerpieces there. How much did you spend to get all those?
