Effortless Entertaining
November 16  - Week 4
 

Vermont received another dusting of snow last week.  For us, this means it's time to get the camera ready.  We wait for the first snowfall to take photos for our annual Christmas card.  If you'd like some tips on how to create a card worth framing, head to my website for a post all about Christmas card photography.

While many of us wait until January to begin organizing and clearing clutter, November and December are actually great months to begin the process.  At this time of the year, we are in our china hutches and in our basement or attic pulling out decorations.  Most of us also switch from our Spring/Summer wardrobe to our Fall/Winter wardrobe.  So it makes sense not to duplicate the effort again in January. Take a few extra minutes now and purge what you don't want.  For de-cluttering motivation click HERE for my 'November is the new January' blog post.  

 

Have a well-designed week,

Featured Recipe


I shared this edible cornucopia recipe on WCAX last fall and it was a HIT!  It's a fun and relatively simple project that will add interest and intrigue to your Thanksgiving buffet.

In the shop

This beautiful silverware is always available in our online store but it seems especially meaningful this time of year. Each handle of Gracewords flatware is delicately and tastefully engraved with an encouraging or uplifting word.  While we would not want this to replace Grandmother's silver on your holiday table, the flatware is perfect for everyday meals and will surely start a conversation at the buffet line.  

 

 


 

Delight - Aspire - Hope - Believe - Wonder - Laugh - Seek

(no two words alike in the set)


 

Eight (8) 5-piece place settings PLUS 4 serving pieces
