On our trip to Napa earlier this fall, we brought home some delicious Madeira dessert wines for gift giving. The short, fat bottles didn't fit in a typical wine bag, so I needed to get creative wrapping them. …

Merry Christmas, Darling
We're apart, that's true
But I can dream
and in my dreams
I'm Christmasing with You.
I am so happy you are here. Welcome to Eleven Gables friends, old and new. If you aren't coming from Thrifty Decor Chick, you must go back and see her gorgeous tour!
What is it about Christmas that makes me so nostalgic?
Is it the Carpenter's playing in the background?
Hanging ornaments I made as a preschooler on the tree?
Listening to my boys talk about each and every ornament as they find a special place for it on the tree?
Maybe it's the games, the Christmas movies, or the baking that makes it so nostalgic.
Memories flood my mind each Christmas and I am a kid again.
Reminiscing over days gone by.
Dreaming of ways I can be intentional with my family this Christmas season.

Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every day's a holiday
When I'm near to you
Oh the lights on the tree
I wish you could see
I wish it every day
The logs on the fire
fill me with desire
to see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish
On this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you.
Merry Merry Merry Christmas,
Merry Christmas,
darling!

Amy is a mutual friend of my sister-in-law who lives in Rogers, Arkansas. Amy's husband, Sam, was my SIL's Youth Pastor growing up. I started following Amy on Instagram because she posted beautiful photos of her home cooking, usually from her Euna Mae's recipes. Euna Mae is Amy's grandmother.
Upon entering the store, you are greeted with beautiful goodies for your kitchen. I wanted one of each!! I came to pick up a little housewarming goodie for my brother and sister-in-law.
My boys busied themselves with electronics while waiting for me.
The shelves are filled to the brim with all sorts of goodness

How fun is that?! Oh to register again.....

Do you see why I started following @EunaMaes on Instagram???
Sooooo much inspiration!
I really want Amy to write a cookbook filled with Euna Mae recipes. How fab would THAT be??
