This and That This Week #12

This was an interesting week but I felt all screwed up with Halloween being on a Monday.  All the local festivities took place over the weekend so by Monday it felt like it was all over with already.  
Last Sunday I put together a post for Halloween showing pictures I captured in the downtown area where the older homes are.

This is the link to the post "here"

Tuesday and Wednesday I posted about feeling sentimental about my Mom and the childhood home I grew up in.  You can visit Part one "here" and Part Two "here".


Next I showed my dining table arrangement for Thanksgiving. 
You can view it "here"

I don't decorate early for Christmas but I'm not against picking things up early and exploring what new decorating items are out there.  I thought I'd share this with you since it's a trend that carried over from last year.

Last year I talked about using "tree collars" for your Christmas tree instead of a tree skirt.
This was the post "here" where I showed the two that I bought and some other ones at other retailers.
This year I saw some new ones from Balsam Hill that are neat.

 This one is similar to the one I got last year but has a better taper than mine.  Mine doesn't have a hinge like this one so we had to put the base in first and lift the tree down into it.

This galvanized one will appeal to a lot of people that want a different look or perhaps for a Farmhouse style.  Again I like that this has the hinge.


This one is in a classic willow basket shape.

It accommodates a tree with up to a 2" pole in the center to put the tree into. 
We bought a tree from them last year so I get emails and catalogs from them.  I am not compensated - just sharing.  These are pricier than what I bought but they do have a sale going on.

Wishing you a great weekend ahead!

  1. Great way to share your different posts. Halloween is gone, now, so embracing this thankful month is a must! Thanksgiving does get forgotten and over shadowed by Christmas. Love your Thankful table and turkey. The Christmas collars are pretty cool. Looking back an d thinking about your childhood memories is a treasure. Have a wonderful weekend.

  4. I like those. A few years ago I won a wreath from Balsam Hill and it is absolutely fantastic! I love it and it looks so real that you can't tell the difference. xo Diana

  6. Hi Liz! Oh that Halloween house is amazing. Wonder what kind of treats they passed out? I really like those tree thingys but I love a softer look by using a tree skirt. Take care, girlfriend!
