12 Weeks of Christmas - Shopping!

There are a lot of "little traditions" that I have about Christmas shopping - one of which is always going to certain stores. One of my favorite stores to go to is called Seasonal Decorating. It is located in an old fire station. It is always decked out for whatever season we are in. But at Christmas, it is especially wonderful. Every fall when my mom and sister are here, we make certain to go to this store. Often we end up buying Christmas presents for each other here! This year was no exception. We found some wonderful things.
This tree was done in browns, coppers and silver with nature-inspired ornaments. And he used a gorgeous feather boa for a garland! I loved this tree!

Everywhere you look in this store there is something beautiful and unique to look at.



How cute are these snowmen plates?
This is the outside of his store. And trust me, when you go through the door, you enter a Christmas-wonderland.
One of my favorite things about the Christmas season is the decorations. I love to walk through stores like this and get inspiring ideas. We move every few years because my husband is in the military, and everywhere we go I love to find these little retail gems that are full of beauty and inspiration! And when I find a wonderful store like this, I make it one of my regular stops every year.

To see more Christmas shopping traditions and tips, go to Red Writing's 12 Weeks of Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by.

Come back by in a couple of days for more in my Holiday Tables series!

That's the way I love a tree...if I can see branches I need to add more decorations. Tell your husband from me, Thanks for his service. It is appreciated.

Oh Oh Oh! That is definitely "walking in a Christmas wonderland". Wow, that looks like an amazing place. Do you buy a lot there? And, as always, when I open your blog I am entranced by your lovely header. Totally, totally gorgeous!

I'm sure I would enjoy shopping at such a neat little store (maybe too much!). I think a feather boa would be perfect on a tree.

I love the way the stores decorate their trees, too! I always put poinsettias in my tree for a big pop of red.
