Small Business Saturday

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.  
We had our official Thanksgiving yesterday on Black Friday.  

With Nurses and Firefighters in this family we have to be flexible on our holidays.

We had a great time and ate too much!!!!

Today is Small Business Saturday.

I hope as you start to buy those wonderful Christmas gifts you will think about doing this through your local shops and on line places like Etsy, Ebay and direct sites.

I love to give unique and personal gifts so small business shops seems to help me with this.

Have you started your decorating for Christmas?

I know a lot of you wait until after Thanksgiving to get this done.  

I start mine early with my daughter hosting Thanksgiving.

This year especially with Thanksgiving falling late
 Christmas will be here quickly.

Sneak Peak at my upcoming Christmas Decor post for 2019

My fireplace insert is dressed with some sparkle greens and pretty white flowers.


It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around my tiny home.  I will have more to show this coming week.

Enjoy the rest of the long weekend.
Remember to shop small business for all those fabulous gifts.
Hugs,
Kris

  1. Your fireplace insert looks wonderful. At night the candles look pretty lit.

    I purchased items from Etsy and Ebay already.

    Enjoy your Christmas decorating.

  3. Your fireplace looks wonderful, Kris! I can't wait to see how you decorated the rest of JCC4. Happy Thanksgiving weekend. Last night we went to a local family owned retailer to "browse" their Christmas decor and walked away having spent a small fortune. LOL A portion of some of those purchases were being donated to a good cause so I feel like it was a win win.

  6. It's so beautiful, Kris!I love the way you decorate. I pulled out the bins on Wednesday night and decorated Thursday morning - in between baking pies - and finished up yesterday. Ok...I mostly finished up yesterday. I had to pick up a few cuties yesterday. I have no willpower at all! I can't wait to see the rest of your pretty place. xxoo Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

  10. How pretty, Kris! We learned a long time ago...to be flexible with holiday gatherings. Getting together, whenever, is what's important!

  12. You pulled a good one when you found that fireplace. It looks so cute. I have just started pulling things out and REPEATEDLY moving them from spot to spot as I figure out my newish apartment. I'm not going to do too much this year but will hit the after Christmas sales for anything I find I am missing. It is really hard to decorate when you have no storage space. I'm looking into building shelves up high in my closet where there is all that space.
