Setting Table Decor for the holidays.

Now that the holiday season is here, it’s time to entertain friends and family. We’ve been collecting lots of acorns and black walnuts (for dyeing purposes) and buying mini pumpkins or jackets belittles wherever we see them. We have quite the collection going on. Right now I have these on our table and some beeswax candles I made last winter. I like to light them while I am making dinner. It definitely adds a warmth and light to the apartment. How do you decorate your table? I’ve collected some images that have caught my eye for the new season. You don’t need to be having a special dinner party or guests over to add something to your table.

Adding candles brings such a sense of warmth. A variety of sizes of pumpkins, candles in different size jars, clippings of sage all on a cutting board placed on a linen runner.. onekindesign.com

Get your use out of seasonal pomegranates. Before cutting them up for your salad or cocktails, use them as table decor along with eucalyptus. This table looks so pretty with white as the background and rose tinted glasses. half-bakedharvest.com

Happy Holiday Season.

Holiday Market this weekend

Holiday season is here and market season as well as shopping season is in full swing. This past week we saw Black Friday, Small Biz Saturday, Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday. I'm exhausted just repeating those.  This weekend is the Etsy NY Handmade Holiday Cavalcade being held at Chelsea Market. 

I will be there selling aprons, tea towels, napkins and runners.  Of course there will be some festive table linens as well. 

Elf gnomes are happy to hop around table in this reversible runner with pom poms.

BEKKO APRON

I will also be debuting a new apron, the Bekko Vendor Apron.  Of course anyone can use it but I did design it with a craft vendor in mind. Pockets for pens, scissors, iPad, hammer loop for the jewelry designer or towel loop for the chef. and a itty bitty coin pocket.

The Bekko is made is a nice medium weight cotton and the pockets are double lined with a pop fabric.

The Cavalcade will be held this weekend December 5th and 6th at Chelsea Market.  The first 100 people will receive an awesome Goody Bag!  The doors open at 10.  You can find more info here!
