Hello sweet friends! Welcome to Holly Jolly Saturday Smiles. I have kidnapped Mr. Decor and we are spending the weekend celebrating his birthday in grand style. These delicious Spiced Pear Pomegranate Crostini may be on the dinner menu.
Holly Jolly Saturday Smiles
This Gingerbread House Tea Party was so festive. All the sweet details made me smile.
Christmas Greetings
Earlier this week I was addressing my Christmas cards by candlelight as the power was out. For the past several years I have sent close to 100 cards out and perhaps received 30 in return. This card list will help me keep track of who shall remain on the snail mail list and who will receive an emailed version of our Christmas newsletter. A time saver for sure!
What To Watch
Mary Queen of Scots arrived in theaters on Friday. Architectural Digest wrote an article on the sets and costumes. I can’t wait!
The Grand Tour
Earlier this week I participated in Christmas Porches & Holiday Door Decor Blog Hop. You can see my Evergreen Entry as well as 20 other wonderfully inspiring porches HERE.
Yesterday I shared Storybook Cottage in her Christmas finery. You can view all the details as well as the links for 29 other gorgeous homes HERE.
Have a wonderful weekend!

what a fun post, Laura. Christmas cards by candlelight sounds romantic — but I hope you could see the ink in your address book! I got mine out on Thursday — or most of them. I didn’t get any made this year but hoping to sit down and paint sometime next week. I’ll either have them for next year or maybe I’ll double send. I love sending them out and always track who sends and doesn’t but I never seem to mark anyone off the list unless they die. We’ll see after this year! Loved all your posts this week!
Christmas cards are always so nice to receive and I have a few special people who I mail to no matter if I get one or not.
Happy Birthday to Mr Decor! How sweet that you have captured him to celebrate. Sounds like fun!
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. Hubby has been having some health issues but we hope it is settled down now and we can get back to the holidays.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful decorations! 🙂
So much beauty in one post, Laura. I’m looking forward to Mary Queen of Scots as well (and to the new Mary Poppins 🙂

Love your title! Sounds like you were planning a great birthday celebration…give us the deets.
I’m going to try the crostini recipe. Can we now buy pomegranate seeds separately? I thought I heard something like that but then again this recipe doesn’t look like it uses many.
I’ve been hearing good things about the movie, saw both actresses on Jimmy Fallon. I thought of you. Please give us your review. I usually wait until I can watch at home.
Merry Merry,
Jane
Laura so much beauty and so special of you to share…Merry Christmas..
You have been quite busy.
There are several historical films coming out this month. The sets and the clothing look wonderful.
