Happy December! I have some fun finds for you this week a little Christmas decor, a fun new Christmas cookbook, a winner appetizer, a lovely pantry inspired kitchen and some Clean Mama updates (read: don’t miss the Homekeeping Society Annual Sale next week!). I hope this post gives you some inspiration and encourages you too!
We started putting out Christmas past weekend, but didn’t get very far. I prefer a slow and steady approach with the ultimate goal of being done by this weekend. My daughter and I do an annual Christmas event in our town the first weekend of December and that always gets me inspired to finish it all up. How about you? Have you had everything out since November or are you still decorating or maybe haven’t started? Simple and sweet is my motto this year.
I’m most excited about the mantle – I was inspired by Magnolia to put some new candlesticks on the mantel. I’ll share on Instagram as I finish it up. I grabbed these candlesticks at Pottery Barn, I love the varied heights.

I made the Marinated Olives and Feta appetizer from What’s Gaby Cooking for Thanksgiving and it was delicious! It was super easy to put together and a hit with everyone except for the non-olive fan in our house 
. I used these olives and they were sooo good. After having these olives on a restaurant cheese plate recently and using them in this recipe, they are now the only green olive variety I’ll buy.
I loved peeking at this vintage pantry and the new kitchen it inspired. There’s so much to be inspired by in the pantry and the kitchen. I love the contrast in color and vintage and new. Just lovely!
I grabbed this cookbook, Christmas Baking on a whim and it’s delightful! So many delicious looking recipes – I can’t wait to give some of them a try. First up: Vanilla Bean Chocolate Fudge and the Shortbread.
