Christmas is coming…

I know we’re barely into the second week of November but when you’re in retail it’s time to deck the halls!  Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love Christmas just as much as I love going to Alice-Louise Press to help update the displays…especially for the holidays!  By the time some of you are reading this I’ll be on my way to Perrysburg with my car loaded with Giggle goodies to add to all the wonderful things that have arrived in the shop just in time for the frenzy of holiday shopping!  Later this week I’ll share all the fun, the displays, AND some of my AL-P favorite picks, which might be hard to narrow down to just a few!  But today I’m revealing a peek at the Giggles I’ve been working on…and a glimpse of the holiday cheer that will be available today!  Check out the link above to my friend’s fabulous shop so you can get your holiday cards, invitations, party supplies, and unique gifts for everyone on your list!

Santa’s got some Giggles in his sleigh…

if you love Santa…raise your hands!

there’s been plenty of snow and glitter on the floor while making all the candy jars…

i’m kind of loving the new holiday pillows!  for those who are nice…and naughty!

magnet sets, magnets sets, and more magnet sets…

i had so much fun this summer with my fabric backdrop i decided to make some jingling garlands for the holiday mantle too!  once trimmed & tidy they’ll be off to the shop…

and i can’t leave out some handcrafted ornaments!  my mom is so wonderful to not only sew my pillow covers but also the whimsical shapes for the stuffed trees that are new this year!  i just LOVE them!

while creating plenty of Christmas fun, i also wanted to experiment on some new paint techniques on my dessert servers!  some ombre versions will be making their debut this season!

and i can’t forget a Giggle staple…flour sack tea towels!  hand sewn by, you guessed it, my mom!  these ruffled cuties are a tried and true favorite!

and plenty of magnet boards adorned with vintage jewel magnets…some with sets perfect for the holiday!

this is just a peek at some of the giggles you’ll find!  i’ll share the rest of the holiday festivities on wednesday…along with some of Amy’s wonderful creations and holiday favorites!  start making your lists…and checking them twice!

Christmas has arrived at Alice-Louise Press!
