Ahhh…I think it’s perfect that this JMS Hearts falls on Cyber Monday this week! So many good entertaining finds this season and I can’t wait to share all of them! Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend is the best time to shop for your entertaining needs since all the sales are on anyways – no point in paying full price next week!

I love this time of the year – everything feels so cozy and warm and I feel this is mainly due to the way we decorate our homes throughout the holiday season. On top of the fun Christmas decor, all our parties feel glamorous and special due to the extra touches that fill the home such as gold-rimmed glasses or festive platters. Below are a few items that caught my eye for the holiday season and I think they would make a perfect addition in the home this year!

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

TABLESCAPES THANKSGIVING

THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPE: OLIVE GREEN & GOLD THEME

JOANNANo comment

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!

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!

Summer has arrived in full force and I am so excited to start enjoying our patio! Summer entertaining is always the best – the feel is more casual and the food is amazingly fresh. People seem to be more relaxed and enjoy just sitting outside together for hours. My favourite thing is to gather everyone in the backyard and host an amazing BBQ – people can enjoy themselves in the fresh air and cleanup is a breeze! Our current house does not have a backyard option but we will be moving in 2019 and I am so excited to plan our summer parties. Chilled Sangria anyone? All the items below have really caught my eye for the summer and I can see them in various entertaining options.

KIDS' PARTIES PARTY DECOR

IKEA PARTY IN A BOX

JOANNANo comment

My main focus on JMS Entertaining is to help simplify your life when it comes to party planning and entertaining ideas! I try to share recipes that allow for ahead prep and are easy to put together once guests arrive. Another way of easy entertaining is showcasing resources that help with regards to decor and party setup. I understand not everyone has time to make a 10 foot balloon backdrop or hand glue buttons on everyone’s party hat….and that’s ok!

I’m not sure if you are aware but IKEA has ventured into the party supply business. I’m loving it but I was originally surprised – not like they haven’t covered every other product possible already! They have started selling “party in a box” type products which provide you the basics to create a fun kids’ themed party. This is great for people that just do not have the time to go out and buy every single item separately to put together the party theme themselves. The kit I purchased was a woodland creatures version and it is adorable!
