We are still in Florida having some fun, but here is some Christmas inspiration that I thought you might enjoy. I’ll share some Florida pics when I return!
Recently, my friend Debbie and I stopped by the Christmas Open House at one of my favorite Homewood shops, Harmony Landing. They always decorate so nicely for the holidays and we were not disappointed this year.
So, I thought you’d all enjoy the tour as well. Come along for some Christmas ideas and holiday cheer. It’s just around the corner, you know! Mercury glass is still very popular this year and I picked up a few pieces in the after Christmas sales last year. Oh my, can’t wait to get this out.
These glitzy gold candlesticks were all decked out.
Classic gold tree. 
And traditional red and green (lime green, no less!). I love these bright pops of color.
More understated greens. I’ve incorporated a lot of this color into my holiday decor.
Love this tree.
Green always catches my eye.
Reindeer, wreath and tree.
Feathers and golden balls in a bowl look very festive.
Glitzy table setting. Not the clearest pic of this.
I have started collecting a few of these bottlebrush trees and thought this was a pretty way to display them.
More green and white
A hutch filled with Christmas Joy!Hope you got inspired to get ready to decorate for Christmas! It’s almost time, you know? I’ll be dragging my stuff out around Thanksgiving week, I’m sure.
How about you, have you started decorating yet?
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
Hi Rhoda!
I’m sure you’re enjoying Florida – it was 22 here this morning!! It’s hard to get out of bed when it’s that cold!
Loved seeing the pictures! I’m glad there’s more lime green this Christmas – it was a little hard to come by last year. So many lovely ideas in that store!

You inspired me! And I have a board meeting tonight… waaahhha!
I love the lime green and red… so whimsical!
What beautiful pictures. I love the green & brown…my favorites, but I also like the traditional red & green. Ok, I may as well admit it, I like trees & decor in all the colors except orange & yellow. Enjoy your trip! Thanks for a great tour!
We will start decorating Thanksgiving night and I have already started my fall cleaning for it. I would love one of those Gold trees but I guess that will have to wait until the kids no longer care what goes on my tree. Your pictures are beautiful.
Good Morning, Rhoda! Great pictures and inspiration! I love the topiaries on the candlesticks! Great idea! Big Lots has several cute bottlebrush items! …some cute little wreaths, (and cheap! LOL!). ~Rhonda 🙂
Love these pics…I will have to remember this shop the next time I am in B’ham. I use a lot of lime green too, haven’t started decorating but have been doing a lot of planning! Enjoy the rest of your trip!
Good Morning Miz Rhoda,
Beautiful decorations! I especially love the classic green and gold tree, you’d never get tired of that one year after year. Tahnks for sharing!
I hope you’re having a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful Florida weather. Can’t wait to see pictures!
Thanks for the tour, Rhoda. The gold tree is pretty. I’m doing our gold tree in the living room, this year. Can’t wait!
I’ve seen lots of lime, here and there, this year. I have bits and pieces of lime from another tree, I’m not assembling this year. I hope to figure out a place to use it, since I still like it.
I hope to get to some more Christmas open houses. They are always fun.
I was in there the other day…and it does make you just want to go home and decorate. Did you see the Deer candlesticks? I loved those! (they were on the traditional gold, white tabl, first on the left).My cousin has a cabin and I had to get those for her. I thought they’d be perfect for their rustic quality, yet even being rustic they had an elegance to them because of the color.
I love this time of year!
Enjoy your trip.
WOW! I want to go shopping there!!!
I love the mercury looking glass – I have to buy some of that this year. The idea of decorating with green is also very appealing.
Wonderful photos – great ideas!
Oh yes, hopefully, this Sunday after church we’ll get started. I need hubby to help me put up the tree (fake) first. . .then I can decorate it later in the week myself!!
Blessings,
Sher
Pretty pics! I do not decorate until AFTER Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has special meaning all it’s own and I don’t want to rush that. But, yes, I have been thinking and planning what to do. This week and next, I’ll be doing some deep cleaning to get ready for the holidays. I always like to do that before the holidays. We’ll start decorating immediately following Thanksgiving. I don’t get into the popular colors each year as I prefer to use ornaments, etc. that have real meaning to us. Many have been collected over the years. I collect vintage tinsel and scrap ornaments and we have alot of ornaments that represent special times, people, etc. Even an ornament from our first Christmas (married), 26 years ago.

Enjoyed the tour! I always start after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas. BTW, I enjoyed Eddie Ross’s blog. Thanks for steering me there. Sally
You know me! I have my tree up and my garland is hung~ I wish I could say all the presents were wrapped and under the tree but…. Im slow on that end. I love all the pictures, thanks. Cant wait to see what you have for us next~
What beautiful displays! I love Christmas decorating. I change it up every year. This year we are doing a tree with only white origami ornaments, made by my daughters.
Did I mention I love Christmas??
Hugs,
Gina
Wow, what a gorgeous shop! I love all their green stuff…I am drawn to that this year too! Enjoy your time in Florida!

Thanks for the inspiration.. once I am done decorating, I can start decorating!!!
Hi Rhoda,
I decorated 1 1/2 weeks ago, so excited to get it all up. I haven’t posted all my pics yet. Have a great time in Florida. We have already had a dusting of snow, it was beautiful.
Hugs,
LeAnn:)
I’ve just started in the past few days, I’m doing a little every day, and plan to have it all done this week :)! Great inspirational pics!
Beautiful and inspiring! LOVE the lime green in the Christmas decor!
