Decking the Halls

On what might have been the warmest day of the week, what was I doing?  Decorating for Christmas of course!  It was pretty funny that while we were working feverishly to decorate Alice-Louise Press with holiday festivity…we were actually feeling feverish due to the heat!  No complaints, however…I got to enjoy a beautiful day while decorating for the most festive season with my good friends AND with the shop windows wide open!  Not a bad Monday!  And by the end of the day the store was transformed into a holiday wonderland…filled with unique gifts, holiday cards and invites, and decorations to get your home ready for the season!  Take a peek at the magic…

Christmas has arrived…

to help with the displays is one of my most favorite things to do…it’s always such a great day despite the fact that it really is quite a bit of work!  and even though we rip the shop to pieces in the beginning,  as we rearrange, open all the boxes of new goodies, and add holiday touches, we can slowly see the new vignettes coming to life right before our eyes!  it’s so much fun!  so this year the shop has a bit of a homespun feel…a little nostalgic and classic–simply Christmas!

i want to share a good peek at what you’ll find, starting with cute cards and tags…

i LOVE these linnea’s lights soy candles…one of my personal favorites!

pillows for resting and ribbon for wrapping…

how darling are these family cook books?  you can write in all your favorites…a great gift for foodies, newlyweds, or college grads starting out on their own!  and check out the galvanized clips…perfect for keeping your page!

everybody loves a S’well water bottle like these beauties in wood grain…

updated lodge look

gifts that are simple and rustic with a touch of glitter…

and another favorite…amy’s letterpress snack, wine, and favor bags!  they’re SO cute…

and how darling are these “shopping” and “to-do” list pads?  not to mention the gorgeous, porcelain succulents…i know what’s on my Christmas wish list!
