Christmas Pillows for Your Home

Decorate your home with these modern designer polka dot pillows for the holidays!

Handmade by sisters Heather and Sarah of Belle Etoile Designs.

They wrote, "We began our enjoyment of creating things together in France 8 years ago, making stationery with flowers we found and jewelry with various beads we bought. Belle Etoile is the name of a mountain nearby where we lived in the valley of the French Alps, and it means "beautiful star."

Christmas pillows are 16" square and only a FEW are left in their shop.

Love These Ornaments!

Jen over at J. Bee Designs has created this adorable line of polka dot hand-painted ornaments for Christmas this year. We know she is always working on new designs and these are some of my favorites!

For beach lovers or little boys on your list, she has this red lobster on a light blue ornament covered with preppy white polka dots. This is the perfect gift for friends with beach-themed trees or a lobster-theme kitchen too!

For the preppy little girl or sorority sister, check out this pink and green polka dot initial ornament tied with a big white bow!



Jen is a talented painter, you can see MANY examples of her work on her site, http://www.jbeedesigns.com/. She has gifts for everyone on your list and asks that all Christmas orders are placed by 12/15 for on-time delivery.

Did I mention her polka dot ornament collection includes a tennis racket, preppy whale, snowman and MORE polka dot monogram ornaments too? You'll love them all!

Decorate Your Holiday Home

Pulling out all of your Christmas boxes from the attic or garage? I am finding things I love, things I like, and then those things that I'm wondering why I've kept every year?

Now is the time to donate to your local thrift stores and charities so they can sell or use your Christmas decorations to help families in need. This way I will personally feel like my decorations are going to a good home. How do we become so attached to our Christmas decorations??

This year, there are some fabulous handmade home decor items available. Now you CAN dress-up your Christmas home in polka dots!

The first item on my list is the handpainted JOY sign pictured above by Joy's Hope. Available for a limited time, you can also find "peace", "Christmas", "noel" and more. Her signs may be hung inside or out, perfect for Christmas or all year.




Snow Fish has created this unique red and green polka dot bunting for your holiday home complete with jingle bells sewn into each point. I love this!




Another creation that caught my eye is this bold JOY fabric banner by Natasha Summer Designs. This really makes a statment and dresses up any mantle or window for Christmas.






For your Christmas table or kitchen counter, 4 Little Pilgrims has a gorgeous collection of polka dot holiday picture frames. Yes, there are more! This is just one sample. You will flip over her selection of hand-painted picture frames for your home. I think these make fabulous gifts too. See more at http://4littlepilgrims.etsy.com/.

I feel like I am behind on decorating my home for Christmas this year. I have seen so many polka dot decorations in the stores and I always love using plaid and gold for the holidays. We'll see how that all mixes together...I know I can make it work!

What is your absolute favorite Christmas home decor piece that you can't wait to unwrap each year?
