this christmas, luke & i have decided to only purchase from small artists & makers for holiday gifts & decorations. what is not purchased from others is either handmade or found in nature. we purchased the wool felt pinecone from ella & gathered branches, pinecones & berries from the land behind our little neighborhood. the rest was either thrifted from years past or made by hand. our home feels so warm & cozy with simple decor to remind us of this blessed advent season.
How lovely and cozy, you are indeed blessed! My apartment is decorated with term papers and text books — ugh — but with a few scavenged pine cones thrown in for good measure.
Justin and I are doing this again this year and it feels so wonderful!! Not only are all of my gifts made by someone I can talk to, I haven't had to step foot into a crazy, overcrowded mall at all this year. I think that I'm going to be giving gifts this way for a long time. It just feels so right. Your tree is adorable, btw! xo, julie
