Each year putting up my Christmas decor is a small part time job and putting it away is no different. But, when your decor is organized it can make the process so much easier! Most of my Christmas decor is also vintage, so packing it away safely is also an important concern each year. Here are a few of my tips that I use to keep our Christmas decor organized and safe. 1.

Let’s make a JAM-o-rita! 🍓 Every few weeks I Let’s make a JAM-o-rita! 🍓 Every few weeks I get to enjoy my favorite type of margarita, one made with the remaining jam at the bottom of the jar. 

Jam-o-Rita
Add ice to your jam jar. Shoot for 1 T. of remaining jam in the jar. Add in 1 shot of tequila, lime juice and a few splashes of margarita mix of sparkling water. Shake! I like to rim the jar after this step with lime juice and salt. Enjoy! 🍋‍🟩

P.S. Any type of jam will work!

If you don’t have yardsticks, the vintage folding rulers work great for stars too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fall is 117 days away, but who’s counting! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Done and Done! You don’t have to tell me twice. Done and Done! You don’t have to tell me twice.  I have never felt bad for buying more vintage. 

💚 It reduces waste. Just think you are keeping those items out of landfills.

💚 One of a kind style, that is often made with high quality materials. Vintage lasts a lifetime. 

💚 Vintage can be cost effective (besides a few crazy thrift stores) and can sometimes have investment potential. I often believe this of my jadeite collection, many values have almost tripled. 

💚 Vintage pieces have history! They each tell a story and carry charm with them. 

Have I convinced you yet? Isn’t that jingle catchy!

Riding my bike in the summer growing up was the ul Riding my bike in the summer growing up was the ultimate freedom. We would ride to our friend’s houses, to the lake, and everywhere in between. 🚲 It’s the essence of summer fun! 

Each year I like to add a few decor pieces to vintage bikes to display around our farm. They bring me back to those childhood days of freedom. From flowers to patriotic decor, they each add a decorative flair to welcome summer. ❤️🚲❤️
