*Anthropologie Inspired* Holiday Village Wreath

As soon as the weather turns cold and I know winter is right around the corner, I start scouring Anthropologie’s website for their new holiday items! I love the unique and colorful pieces they put out each season, but sometimes my wallet is not so happy with the price tag of some of these cute items that I add to my cart. As my grandma used to say when she found something she liked while shopping, “How much is cute?” 😛 I’m a wreath lover and when I saw Anthro’s Snowy Village Wreath, I had to have it!

The Holidays at Roger’s Gardens in Corona Del Mar, CA

Traditions have taken on a new meaning for me, now that I have babies of my own and have started our own holiday traditions. One of my favorite Christmas traditions growing up was to visit Roger’s Gardens in Corona Del Mar, California. This amazing garden boutique transforms for the holidays and turns into a winter wonderland that is the stuff dreams are made of! Each room in the boutique is filled with Christmas trees each with it’s own theme or color scheme and completely decked out in ornaments. Every space in the boutique is decorated with holiday decor, gifts, and trinkets in every theme for the holidays you would want. Outside in their expansive garden, they have their own fresh Christmas tree lot that is so dreamy to walk around and smell the pine scent of the holidays. As a kid, we used to love getting to stroll around at night looking at all of the beautiful ornaments, twinkling lights on the trees, and visit with Santa while enjoying a warm cup of hot chocolate. It truly is such a fun and magical place to visit to get into the spirit of the holidays, and I am so thankful I get to show my little ones one of my favorite places during Christmastime! 🙂
