Falling for The Cellar Elves

 

 

Introducing ...

~Zim's The Cellar Elves~

 

When I think of Fall, I often think of wine tours, wine tastings, cozy nights by the fire with wine... I guess there is kind of a theme.  But, now that I am in the Christmas business, I am also thinking of Wine Elves.....

 

 

 

 

They have arrived and are already busy at work... cleaning, taste testing and playing around in the wine cellar.  They also moonlight as Vinegar Tasters in the kitchen!

 

 

Zim's The Cellar Elves are a hearty bunch of busy elves.. They are ready to order and are immediate ship for your gift shop, for the holidays or year round for a winery gift shop.  Come and enjoy the magic.

Halloween Treats!

First, of all... it is good to be back... I guess I took the summer off!  Kids are now back at school and we again have a routine that we can semi count on...so, on to blogging....

Halloween Treats

The biggest "treat" for me is to decorate my home for Halloween. We usually have a party.. for the kids... so, I enjoy decorating and using all the fun, Fall colors.   

I have purchased my Mums... orange, of course and next I will get out the decorations.  I started this weekend, but it is hard to put up pumpkins and ghords when it is 80 degrees out and the windows are open.  

Pinterest is my new BFF... visit us at www.pinterest.com/thewhitehurstco.  Check out our Board ~ Glass Ornaments~Fall/Winter and our Board ~ Holiday Ideas.

On here, I have saved a ton of ideas on how to decorate for Fall and Halloween.  Thank Goodness, for all the creative people out there sharing their ideas.

Here are a couple of the images that I love:

Happy Fall!

Make Some Waves...

No matter where you live, if it is summertime, blues, aquas, whites, greens and silvers are among the popular colors to decorate with... 

Make some waves this summer and surprise your guests with tablescapes and hints of summer using glass ornaments.

For instance....

Use assorted colors to go along with a beach theme...fill apothocary jars, vases, wooden bowls, etc.  Place them on coffee tables, buffets, as a dining room centerpiece.. the list goes on.

Here are a few Color Palettes to go by....

Be Thankful....

We are very thankful to all...

 our Customers, Family and Friends...

who have stuck by us during these growing years.  Every year at Thanksgiving, we sit at a table that is decorated with turkeys made out of hands, pinecone turkeys and pilgrim hats.

  Here's a great new idea for the "Tween" table or any table throughout the house...

We found this great idea on www.sweetcitycandy.com and you can also visit www.HostessBlog.com on the how-to for this Mod Table Tree!

Enjoy!

Break out the Christmas Ornaments.. why keep them in storage?.. create a tray in the foyer or as a centerpiece...

via BHG

via The Seasonal Home

From our friends at A Seasonal Home... they suggest taking a styrofoam wreath, add black toothpicks and hot glue small glass ornaments and add a bow... wah-lah... 

Unless I come across some other GREAT examples of decorating for Halloween... I promise I am going to move on to Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Our first container is coming in tomorrow and we will be crazy getting out the most anticipated orders to all our customers over the next few days.  Then my mind will be 100% Christmas-thinking....Be aware... Christmas is only 66 days away!  Lots to do!

On October 31, 2011 ~  we are going to be launching a Holiday Display Contest using The Whitehurst Company's products.  Stay tuned for more details... very exciting stuff!!!

Have a great weekend!
