EASTER KIDS PARTY TABLE

I absolutely love a holiday or good theme and my daughter has slowly turned into a mini me and does as well. She truly enjoys the fun of it and I knew I wanted to make her upcoming playdate a little more special with Easter just days away. The first question I usually get asked after school is “what’s for snack time?” so I decided to make their snack area a little more Easter-y and fun and they enjoyed it so much!

I’ve listed where I got the items below but truly most of the things on the table were from the dollar store. You can truly use whatever Easter items you have at home and supplement with some cute Easter paper plates and food holders. My main goal was to create something fun that didn’t take a lot of time and was not expensive. I Used food/snack items that I happen to have on hand at the time and didn’t buy anything fancy like Easter bunny shaped cookies although those would have been adorable! I want to show you that creating something like this does not need to take a lot of time (just a pitstop to the dollar store while you are out) and you can use food you have on hand to create something the kids will enjoy and delight in.

NEW YEAR’S EVE TABLESCAPE – BLACK AND SILVER

I have never been a huge New Year’s Eve person which I definitely think most people can relate to. Not to be confused with the New Year in general which I absolutely LOVE! Planning out a fresh year, looking back at goals and creating new ones – that’s my jam… but that is a post for another day. New Year’s Eve on the other hand just seems to always be a huge build up and never really delivers in my opinion. The holidays are busy enough therefore by the end of December I am ready to stay in with friends and do something low key. 

While I love getting in sweats and relaxing on the couch with m bffs, I do think that staying in with friends can sometimes use a little pizzazz. This is a quick tablescape that I whipped up which primarily consists of Christmas ornaments! No need to venture out for New Year’s themed decor – just use what you have to add some sparkle to the table this year!

THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPE: OLIVE GREEN & GOLD THEME

Thanksgiving is right around the corner here in Canada and it feels like it came quite early this year. Our traditions are pretty low key around this time of year, mainly involving getting together with family for the big ol’ turkey dinner (although half of us are vegetarian/vegans so the turkeys a little smaller nowadays!) and fitting in some fun Oktoberfest time. The city we are from celebrates Oktoberfest in a big way and we thoroughly enjoy it!

I love decorating for all holidays and seasons and Thanksgiving is no exception. Knowing the fall season was going to come in full force I wanted to start planning my Thanksgiving table early on. I am so excited to share this year’s Thanksgiving tablescape because I had the pleasure of coordinating with Kusala from Kukaru Designs on it! If you have not checked out Kusala’s website yet she provides tutorials on sewing and knitting and has various resources available on www.kukarudesigns.com. She also has a scrunchie tutorial that I have been eyeing and just may have to attempt shortly!

We started brainstorming this tablescape weeks ago and we knew we wanted to do something different than the typical fall colours. We both love the fall season and we’re excited to collaborate on this gorgeous tablescape! I hope you enjoy what we came up with because its really starting to feel like fall over here and we are in the celebrating mood. Check out all the fun details below!

♥ JMS HEARTS ♥ ISSUE 5

Fall is officially here and I am not mad about it! It is my favourite season and I cannot wait to start decorating the house and having people over for cozy evenings together. If you saw my Entertaining Bucket List, you know that I have a lot of fun ideas planned and I cannot wait to start on them. This season brings along the feelings of comfort and coziness which is perfect for lazy days together at home. I definitely prefer to stay at home relaxing with friends and I cannot wait to start baking up a storm in the kitchen.

Below are a few items that caught my eye for the fall and I think they would make a perfect edition in the home this season!

If you are new here –  JMS HEARTS is a feature that I have created which showcases all my entertaining favourite finds for the season….aka everything that I heart ♥!

SUMMER PICNIC TABLESCAPE

Eating al fresco is my favourite thing to do during the summer time and one of the funnest ways to accomplish that is by creating a picnic in the park. I love having a picnic lunch and although this is not quite the same as picnicking in Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower (take me back please!) you can still recreate the same fun vibe in your own back yard or nearby park.
