green grass of home

(the homeowner's father cut down the tree she used to love, when it was dying, and saved these pieces for her to hang in her home) 

   as i said in my last post, today was the day of the holiday homes tour & boutique! i absolutely love touring other people's/modeled homes that are wonderfully decorated for the holiday season. all of the profits from the ticket admission went to a non-profit organization called rediscover, that helps families and children who are affected by mental illness or substance abuse. although before thanksgiving is a tad early for so much christmas decor (yes, i did it myself! but, i didn't think everyone else did too!), walking through these beautiful homes made me want to go past the limit of "too-much" this year. my cats will not allow that though! 

   all of the homes, themselves, could have just been walked through without the christmas decoration  the home that i loved the decoration was the first one we toured, which i have no pictures of because i was unsure if we could photograph inside! almost every decoration was a "do-it-yourself" from a vintage or scarp piece. this house gave me so much inspiration, not just for the holiday season, but to decorate when i move into my next living space. i am hoping to go on another holiday home tour before this christmas season is over!
