Christmas Cheer

 I recently went on a fun Christmas shopping trip with some girlfriends to two nurseries and a farmhouse shop. 

Bauman's Farm Store has acres of nursery plants and produce. This time of year there's live Christmas trees, poinsettias and other hardy winter plants. The gift shop inside is loaded with Christmas decorations and gifts.

Glen gave me some Bauman's sparkling peach cider for my birthday. It was yummy! 

We had lattes and warm, freshly-made cider doughnuts while looking at all the Christmas baubles and gift packs.

Next stop was Al's nursery in Woodburn. The greenhouses of poinsettias were amazing! 

The last stop was Garden Gallery Iron Works in Hubbard for farmhouse inspired gifts and decorations.

It gave me the push to get my decorations up as soon as I got home.

And now, with  the Christmas Cookies baked, the house lit by hundreds of twinkling white lights and the fire glowing, we wait for the snow to arrive late tomorrow (so they are forecasting!)

I hope you are enjoying some festive days this season.
