It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like...

Well, you know...

Pretty holiday vignettes from Southern Lady magazine...

A cozy library with petrol-blue bookshelves, rust velvet chairs, and a sofa, decorated for Christmas with a tree and a wreath hung from a window.

A parcel wrapped with vintage giftwrap printed in Dickensian scenery, red velvet ribbon, and a sprig of greenery with an ornament.

A vignette featuring a wreath hanging in a window adorned with dried orange slices, miniature ginger jars, and light-blue ribbons; topiaries in copper and ironstone vessels; and blue-and-white transferware plates.

A table set for Christmas dinner with a red-and-white striped cloth, matching napkins, teacups, greenery, and white roses accented with red berries.

In my pantry with my cupcakes...

I have seen more outdoor Christmas decorations around my general neighborhood (I live out in "the country") this year. Several houses are decorated with outside lights and window treatments. Also there are several decorated outside gates and fences with lights and wreaths. Unusual for this area to decorate this early. I live in upstate SC

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

So lovely and festive!!! I love everything about the room with the bookshelves, beautiful furniture, rug and decor. So warm and welcoming.

I'm no southern lady, so while I couldn't begin to create that look, I find it absolutely beautiful.

The last scene with the white wicker chairs, lovely white roses and pink/red tablecloth with the lit tree ireflected in the mirror is beautiful and inviting.

Love all of this!

I went to a local concert tonight. On the way we saw a few houses decorated for December holidays, but more still had Halloween decorations up!

We don't start until Thanksgiving. And I never have enough time. This year the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is short. AAAGH!

I look forward to each new Southern Lady magazine. The beautiful layouts pictured inspire me in my own home decor.

@stevieb Lovely pictures, thanks for posting. It's getting close and I feel the excitement!

@Jk9 I'm finding the same in my area (RI). Seems everyone went from Halloween decorations outside right to Christmas! I love it though, it's very pretty and it makes me feel that everyone is ready to just settle in and enjoy
