A few highlights from shops that held holiday open houses in our area last weekend.

Fall to Winter decorating...at warp speed
I have a new video up on my channel!
I'm not only sharing with you my filming/blogging schedule for the rest of the year, but you'll also see me transform three spaces in our home.
I've sped up my decorating footage to show how I quickly (even before the editing) was able to transform these fall scenes into winter vignettes!
Watch the magic happen here!
PS- do you follow me on Instagram yet? Look for me at LizMathews83, or follow the link at the right side of your screen!

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas...
If you watched my last vlog than you know...
I'm starting to decorate for Christmas.
It was all I could do to wait until November 1st to pull the first "Christmas" box out from storage, and I can't wait any longer.
Our holiday party is the first weekend in December which means I have only one month to deck the halls. Time to get started!!
Also, I'm happy to announce the winner of my It's Paperwhite Time Giveaway:
Congratulations to Jacqueline L!! Please email me at: Mathews.Liz@gmail.com to set up shipping details.
I have another giveaway planned for next week so be sure to watch my YouTube channel for details.
Oh, and I should also mention that I am planning another HUGE giveaway- similar to October 2011, and I'm sure you want to check that out, too! Those details will also be announced on my YouTube channel.

Market Scores and $1 Steals 11-1-14
There is a new video up on my channel! Stop by to hear about my most recent purchases, and my holiday decorating plans!
I am excited to find some live greenery and get started making a holiday wreath using the vintage bells above. These photos give me lots of inspirations:
If you're interested in purchasing your own spun cotton pieces there are lots to be found online. Here are some of my favorites. You can click on the images to be taken to the websites.
And if you think you'd like to make a wreath, like the one I'm envisioning, here is a link so some similar bells:
Happy Sunday! I'll be back on Monday to draw a name for my Paperwhite Time Giveaway! PS- it's not to late to enter ;)
