Gingerbread Tea In The Dining Room


Happy Friday to you all ... our home is bustling with the sounds and smells of Christmas and I am thrilled to be able to share a piece of it with you today.  If you are coming to me via the incredible Holiday Homes Tour hosted by 11 Magnolia Lane + Evolution Of Style then you just had the incredible blessing of visiting both CitrineLiving and Setting For Four which I know was a huge treat.  I love visiting homes decorated for the holidays and participating in home tours is by far the best way to do so, there are so many darling and inspiration ideas in beautiful homes.

Christmas Pajamas ... Yes Please


It is no secret that I love pajamas.  I know you shouldn't love things, only people ... but I really, really like them so very much it might really be a love affair.  I am not sure when my adoration for pajamas began but it is very strong and I don't see it ending honestly, really ever.  This time of year when it is chilly and even down right cold I cling to them more than usual as we are snuggled up with a fire, cocoa and lazy mornings over coffee.  I think they provide comfort for me which makes me very, very happy.

Pink + Green Christmas


While I am busy working on my house decorations I have some fun for you today.  My sweet friend Taylor and her darling Hazen & Co. girls had the most darling photo shoot a couple of weeks ago and I am completely smitten with it all.  Pink, green, cocoa, a bar cart, cute clothes, and darling jewelry ... what else could be more fun? 🎄🎉

What I Would Buy Today


Holy Monday.  I will say the early am alarm + the wet and cold weather was not my friend this morning.  I woke up and stepped outside and it was like the day slapped me in the face.  Not kind Monday, not kind at all.

Small Business Saturday Celebration


Small business Saturday!  What an amazing day!!!  Since as a blogger I am a small business and I specialize in working with small businesses I could not be more excited for today.  I have the incredible opportunity to work with so many amazing companies and each of them mean so very much to me. Not only do these businesses provide income to my business, but they are owned by people I really do love to spend time with which makes it feel like a blessing and nothing at all like work at all.

Black Friday Shopping ... The Scoop


Hey guys!!  I hope you are having the best evening and getting ready for an amazing dinner tomorrow where ever you are eating.  We are resting tonight after a long day, but I have my alarm set for early tomorrow to get started on my side dishes ... mashed potatoes + green bean bundles.  The table is set, the coffee is stocked and I am ready for some pumpkin french toast in the morning.  Anyone else go to bed thinking about their coffee in the morning.  I literally dream of it ... 🛌

Gift Guide For Teens + Early Sales


Is it really Wednesday and is my Thanksgiving holiday week already have over?  How does time seem to go so fast when its vacation?? We are completely in table setting and cooking mode at my house and I have already started shopping some of the Black Friday sales.  I have listed all the current sales and codes at the end of this post for any of you that are just like me and need to stay on top of the sales to get what you want for those on your list.  I am so excited to finish my shopping in the next week.  This goal of mine to be done by December 1 is really going to happen!

Merrily Minear With Hazen & Co.


This day is finally here and I am literally bubbling over with excitement.  I wish I could pop the pink champagne with each of you to celebrate this super fun collaboration.  I have partnered with my darling friend Taylor who owns Hazen & Co. for a limited edition bracelet stack. Taylor is truly one of my favorite people and if you know her personally you immediately know why.  She is truly a powerhouse of a business owner and one of the kindest and most faithful people I know.  I am inspired by her daily in her personal and professional lives and having the opportunity to work on this project with her was a joy and a dream come true.  I am very excited and extremely proud to introduce to you the Merrily Minear Trio. 🎉

Wreaths + Bows, Oh My


When it comes to decorating the outside of our house, and definitely the inside, I start with a good wreath.  I love how a simple wreath can make so much of a difference.  When I posted our Halloween wreath you guys flooded by emails and DMs about a full post on my thoughts on wreaths and bows.  I really do think a bow on a wreath is such a fabulous look and doesn't have to be hard or complicated.  Since this is Thanksgiving week I think it is the perfect time to publish this piece as this is the time of the year I buy the most wreaths and most definitely the most ribbon.  I hope to inspire you to make easy wreaths that you will love for weeks to come. 🎀

Gift Guide ... Gifts By Price Point


Happy Saturday!  I hope your weekend is bright, sunny, and full of something fun. I was supposed to be in Thomasville this weekend for the Wild Life Arts Festival but the Hubs isn't feeling well and I am happy to stay home and be with him.  So instead of my original plans I am getting ahead on work, organizing for the week ahead and taking advantage of the extra time at home.  So far this morning I have enjoyed two wonderful cups of coffee with the Hubs in bed and we just watched the new Netflix release The Princess Switch.  It was so sweet.  I consider the cancelled plans to be a blessing and I will never be sad about being given a blessing.  ❤

Punch For Thanksgiving


Anyone else thinking of how amazing next Thursday's meal will be?  Since we are staying home this year and avoiding traveling (and germs) we are all about the meal, the family time, and how we spend the day.  I was group texting the family earlier this week about what everyone wanted as their favorites and when I was adding in mine I decided that one of the things I was most interested in would be an evening movie (any recommendations?) with a big charcuterie board and some yummy punch.  Well, that is after a lunch of turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes + cranberry sauce which is my favorite part of the meal.  🦃

Bows, Tassels + Bees


Anyone else super excited about celebrating the holidays in all its glorious fashion?  I love getting dressed up and doing things like coffee with friends, attending parties, and sitting fireside with holiday cocktails with those I love.  I have been very into the classics lately ... as in classic music, classic movies and wearing classic pieces, even more than usual.  I have found myself craving more loafers, more classic sweaters, and an all black outfit with a twist.

ps ... how amazing are those shoes?  All the details of how to create them are here in this blog post!

Gift Guide ... Shopping For Her


The days of me being done with all my shopping by December 1 are rolling along perfectly and I am doing really well getting things crossed off my list.  There are some things I have purchased and others I have marked to make sure I snag on Black Friday knowing for sure they will be on the best sale.  Last week I attended a local Holiday Gift show and knocked off four gifts.  I love buying some personal for those closest to me and I got a darling bunch of things at the booth of an artist.  She was darling and helped me choose a few things that are perfect for a few friends.  I am super excited.

The Perfect Fall Table


Happy Monday!! I hope your weekend was amazing.  It is pouring rain in Atlanta and is quite chilly, but the weekend was a stunning one with blue skies and a wonderful breeze.  I have been dying to set a table on the deck and eat outside.  I love alfresco dining, it just makes the meal and time so much better for me.  It was quite chilly on Saturday so I waited until Sunday to plan an outside meal.  We have such pretty falls in Atlanta and I wanted to make sure we took advantage of the beautiful days.  I will say I had to pick quite a few leaves off the table when the wind blew, but it was worth every second to enjoy the incredible weather.  I don't know about you, but for me eating outside just makes the food taste even better!  🍊

Gift Giving With Beautycounter


In keeping with my "all shopping done by December 1" I have had to stay on top of my long list.  This week I ordered all my monogram gifts I needed for my shopping and now I am ready to tackle all of those people on the list that I am gifting beauty products.  I am so excited to show you what I am buying and how I am pairing it to take six gifts off my lists.  I can't tell you who I bought it for ... because some of those people actually read this daily and I need to keep the surprise of the day under the radar.  😘

Thanksgiving Vibes


I can't believe that Thanksgiving in mere weeks away, wasn't I just whining about the end of summer just days ago?  We usually eat at my brother in laws house for Thursday and then spend the rest of the weekend at home eating left overs and soaking up the first Christmas feels but this year I think we will be here.  With all the flu germs it is just better to keep the exposure at a minimum for the Hubs.  We shall see, those plans are subject to change.

My Favorite Items For Our Home Vol. 2


Remember this post?  You guys loved the first installment and I have been meaning to add volume 2 for so many weeks and then it just kept getting pushed back.  I am so sorry for that little detail, my life has been crazy and sometimes just keeping the regularly scheduled posts up and running is harder than it should be.  I have so many things I get excited about sharing and then I look at my editorial calendar and realize I missed something big I meant to share.  But, I am here today to fix that detail and get the post I promised to you off the books today.

Sweater Weather


Our weekend weather here was simply perfect.  Crisp, cool air with lots of breeze and a gorgeous blue sky.  On Saturday after lunch with my father in law for his birthday my youngest and I headed to one of our favorite spots to see a slew of perfectly colored fall trees.  They are the most stunning grouping of red, orange, yellow, and green.  I can't tell you how stunning it was and how much fun we had.  We played in the leaves, threw them, blew them, and just enjoyed the incredible backdrop of color.

Shopping The Classics At Lands' End



Happy November 1st, or as it as known in our house ... the day after.  The day after all the sugar, the excitement, and the crazy sleepy hangover.  Anyone else so sleepy today?  I am on my third cup of coffee and I am still dragging, but it was all so very fun.  Listening to the kids in the driveway last night sorting out their candy and reliving all the fun was everything.  Lawyer and I sat up in our room with the window open just listening to all the fun. 😂
