Saturday Morning Gather #12

gath•er: to come together or bring together into one group, collection or place

I hope the first week of your new year has been wonderful and productive!

I got all of my Christmas decor taken down and boxed up, and had a lot of fun putting out my clock collection for some New Year’s decor.

I don’t know about you, but I always struggle with my decor after I take down Christmas, and it’s not quite time yet for Spring.

I decided to use my clocks for January, along with a touch of Valentine near the end of the month.

Then I will keep things simple until the spring decor comes out. I like to keep paperwhites planted during this time, use lots of candles and start adding a few english ivy plants to some of my urns/planters indoors.

I shared a delicious Cheese Ball recipe on the blog this week.

It is always a crowd pleaser and so easy to make. You can make it as 1 large cheese ball or make about 30 mini cheese balls.

They are super cute and make a fun element to a charcuterie board.

I also shared a fun and unique idea for a DIY placemat for your Valentine’s tablescape.
