So what did I want to do first, as far as starting on my Christmas decorating?

~~~ Change out my bedding to the holiday bedding, as it can be out for more than just a month.

I changed the bedding out to the Winter Birds bedding by Pottery Barn ~~

~~~ that I purchased last year.

I looked at the Pottery Barn website and did not see this bedding ~~

~~~ I wonder if they had discontinued it .. if so, so glad I bought it last year.

This past Spring I was lucky to find the plaid Euro Shams on clearance at Pottery Barn.

Love the contrast of the fabrics.

My bedside table ~~

Took the lid off the reticulated ginger jar and dropped a cyclamen in the jar..

~~~ I so love cyclamen this time of year!

My hubby’s bedside table ~~ a simple vintage style Santa (nothing to “foo-foo” as he says..)

I just may be taking the lids off of many of my “jars” this year ~~ and placing holiday greenery in them!

Rather than replacing the chandelier ~~ I think for now I will add crystals.

A new chandy on my 2014 Wish list!

Have you noticed that I just love birds!!

I wish you all a wonderful day…

And in some instances “a good night”…
