With spring officially here and Easter just around the corner, I am dying to get my hands on all the new items in stores. The beautiful pastel colours get me excited for the seasonal changes coming up and this time of year always feels like a fresh start. I am ready for the warmer weather to come so we can start the laid back entertaining that comes so easily during the spring/summer months. I’ve chosen a few items below that I want to incorporate in my entertaining adventures this season – I hope you enjoy them!

♥ JMS HEARTS ♥ VALENTINE'S DAY

♥ JMS HEARTS ♥ ISSUE 7

JOANNANo comment

Welcome back to another edition of JMS Hearts! I feel like it’s been forever since I checked out things in store and online – I think everyone becomes a bit of a hermit crab after the Christmas holidays. After all that shopping (and spending!) I feel like I just don’t want to buy anything ever again. That feeling, of course, passes (ha!) and as the adorable pink and red hearts appear on the scene for Valentine’s Day I became infatuated with all the new pretty offerings. Check out my favourites below for this heart-filled holiday!

♥ JMS HEARTS ♥ ISSUE 6

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!

ETSY PARTY SHOP GUIDE

JOANNANo comment

There are so many amazing party shops on Etsy that provide such unique items and products. I love browsing them and using the images as inspiration to bring together tablescapes and party designs. Sometimes just walking through the aisles of Michaels or browsing through the pages of Etsy help reenergize my mind and inspire a new creation from the smallest product. A colourful fabric can be the start of a small idea that turns into a full creative party table – that’s what I love about this business! Getting to be creative and using my imagination is definitely the best part!

My goal one day is to open up my own Etsy shop with various party inspiration but until that becomes a reality I can’t wait to share these below! I have purchased from some shops and been eyeing products at others. All are filled with unique party supplies that will definitely raise the bar at your next party!

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!
