Hello friends! Welcome to a very special edition of Friday Favorites Shop Little. Today I will begin by sharing this year’s holiday mantel here at Storybook Cottage.
In the spirit of “shop small” in which small businesses are supported, I have also gathered several websites and links from my dear and creative prairie pals to encourage you to SHOP LITTLE.
Friday Favorites Shop Little
Welcome to Walnut Grove!
This year my decorating theme is A Happy Golden Holiday. It is in celebration of the 50th (golden) anniversary of the Little House on the Prairie television show.
One of my all time favorite episodes, Christmas at Plum Creek, is included in the first season.
Sweet little Carrie just wants a beautiful star from Nelson’s Mercantile.
I asked Mr. Decor to create a rustic wooden prairie star for the mantel and he delivered! (Although until I added the greenery it looked like the NFL Cowboys symbol. LOL)

That’s the perfect mantel fo ryou this year, especially after all your work and tours with the show. I love the star — it’s gorgeous. Well done Mr. Decor! And the barn is enchanting. Happy week to you!
Laura, you have created wonderful holiday inspirations
for the rest of us to be inspired! Although I may not have much time to decorate to this degree, I enjoy looking at your lovely and magical creations.
This year my daughter decorated her Thanksgiving table with simple greenery and candlesticks placed in the center. Very prairie style but elegant. Not sure where she gets her craftiness from. Lol.
Love all that you do!
