BEST DAY!!

 

 

 

We stayed up late to watch the Super Bowl... VERY fun!!!

 

and then, we had a SNOW DAY!!!  Even MORE fun!!!

 

 

So I was able to spend the day daydreaming on Pinterest and decorating for the next holiday....

 

Such a busy month...but do you decorate for

Valentines Day?....

 



 

OR

do we decorate for Mardi Gras on February 16th?

 

 

My kids say ... do BOTH....

 

There is always a Holiday to decorate for... so definitely keep checking in with us on our blog or Pinterest pages for tons of images and inspiration!  All these ideas and more can be found on www.pinterest.com/thewhitehurstco/

 

Thanks for decorating with us today! 

 

Here's hoping for another Snow Day tomorrow and more decorating!  :)

 

 

Happy February!

February 2012

There is so much to celebrate in February!  - if you are talking about the Groundhog ~  I heard Spring is on the way!!!  Here in Rochester, we have had Spring-like days and harsh Winter stormy days.... but, I wouldn't mind Spring-ier conditions.

 

There are so many other things to look forward to ~starting with tonight... The Super Bowl!  Who do you want to win?  My 12 year old won the first quarter - $2 from the family pool.   Then we have Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, Winter Break from school, President's Day and the Grammy's to name a few.  So, I have put together a few pictures for February that show off great ways to use your left over Christmas decorations and decorate your home in a festive manner. 

Enjoy~

Happy Fat Tuesday! - Happy Mardi Gras!

Happy Mardi Gras! Pick out your craziest colors and boas, play your favorite Jazz music very loud and cook up some good old fashioned creole for dinner......

Below is our version of a Lady at Mardi Gras created by Natalie Sarabella as a Baublehead for The Whitehurst Company. She is ready to join in the parade!

All the wonderful sights, sounds and smells of New Orleans are at its height today along Bourbon Street. We had the fun of visiting New Orleans during Mardi Gras awhile ago and saw some VERY interesting things!

The outdoor street bands playing Jazz were great... along with some other sites that may not be appropriate for this blog...but, either way... what a festive place to be.

Many of our customers purchase the Mardi Gras colors to decorate with for the holiday...this order came in last week and I am sure it was for Mardi Gras. Greens, Orange, Purples and Pinks are among the favorites...




A friend of mine, Darryl Moland of The Decorated Tree blog (http://www.thedecoratedtree.blogspot.com/) created this beautiful tree with very festive colors...check in on his blog and see his beautiful creations....

The possibilities are endless and the colors are so vibrant today for Mardi Gras!

Enjoy your evening of celebration!
