Happy Monday, and week of Thanksgiving! I hope you all had a nice and relaxing weekend before all the upcoming holidays excitement arrives! Here’s a bit of what we’ve been up to over the past week.

Home Projects & Updates
I spent a lot of the week decorating for Christmas before we head to Omaha this week. And while I didn’t wrap things up 100%, I still plan to share a bit tomorrow and then even more next week! I ordered some new Lindsay Letters art recently and these two pieces arrived this week. I featured them in this post on blue and green Christmas decor last year and couldn’t stop thinking about them. And now I’m legit obsessed with them in my office! The rest of the room is mostly chaos but at least I have this pretty view now while sitting at my computer! Side note: her site is 25% off currently for Black Friday.
SOURCES: “Deck The Halls” Art | “Fa La La” Art | Lamps (also here) – will likely go on sale this week at VC | Console Table | Melamine Bowl | Blue Ornaments | Green Ornaments | Topiary and Vase – old from Pottery Barn
If you missed it yesterday, I also shared a peek at our Christmas entryway and loft in this post. This was just taken on my iPhone, so I need to get a clearer shot on my regular camera. That will be coming soon!
ENTRYWAY SOURCES FROM TARGET: Cedar Garland | Norfolk Pine Garland (also here) | Blue Velvet Ribbon | Green Velvet Ribbon | Blue Console Table | Rustic Wood Trees | Small Ceramic Tree | Medium Ceramic Tree | Large Ceramic Tree | Gold Frame | Medium Potted Tree | Large Potted Tree | White Starburst Ornaments | Bobble Knit Throw Blanket | Ottoman Cube
We also finally received the mattress that fits our new bed so I’ve been working in our bedroom a bit too. It still has a long way to go with some drapes and definitely some color, but I’m just happy we’re no longer using a queen mattress on a king bed. That was cute 😉

In Case You Missed It
Following are the posts I shared over the past week, in case you missed some days!
Around Town & For Fun
With our besties from Omaha in town the week prior and not leaving until Tuesday morning, the rest of last week was pretty chill for us. The temperatures dropped quite a bit and we’ve now officially entered “fireplace season”. We gave Bailey a shower on Saturday and she was definitely cold afterwards. We turned on the fire, and it was the first time she’s shown interest since we moved to Florida! It was always her favorite in Omaha and she’s now officially hooked again. But only after I put her favorite blanket in front of the fire for her to lay on 😉
LIVING ROOM SOURCES: Sofas (read my full review here) | Coffee Table | Indoor/Outdoor Striped Rug | Christmas Tree | Tree Collar | Cableknit Throw Pillow Cover
I mean, can you even with that face?! This is what she’d do occasionally too – lay on the hardwood with her face still on the blanket.
We mostly hung around the house until Friday evening. The sky was so beautiful when we headed out to the car – it literally looked like it was on fire on the horizon!
Friday night we did happy hour dinner at Cuvee, and their view out the bar windows is always my favorite this time of year! Being at the start of the Central time zone, we’re at a 4:45 sunset right now. Totally doable now that so many of the Christmas lights are up! PS – how cute are those giant nutcrackers at 30 Avenue. They flank the green space and they’re some of my favorites this time of year.
After dinner, we headed down to Prominence (where Hola Beaches is) to The Big Chill for the children’s business fair. The school that rents our commercial space, Acton Academy of 30A, hosted a business fair for their little entrepreneurs and invited other children from the community to join as well. Basically each kid had a booth with items they made to sell. We were super impressed with so many of the ones we stopped at! Especially with their ability to pitch adults why we needed to buy from them. Let’s just say I’m a pretty big sucker and came home with way more than we expected. Everything from baked goods to homemade ornaments (I got ten hand painted oyster shell ornaments!) to glow in the dark tattoos (Kurtis got roped into that one) 😉 It was such a great turnout and so much fun!
We’re headed to Omaha and Iowa for the week to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and family. We’re really looking forward to seeing everyone – but definitely not excited about the weather there! I legit struggled packing because it’s been so long since I’ve had to wear “real” shoes or a jacket or a sweater. We’re just grateful there isn’t any snow in the forecast!
