A joy joy or gratitude jar is a great way to collect blessings and memories all year long. My terrarium joy jar is the perfect place to add notes of sweet memories, blessings, and answered prayers this year.

At the end of the year, you will have a mini booklet as a keepsake from that year! I created a free printable that includes the blank tags and the cover tag you see in the video for the booklet. Head on over to the blog post to grab the free tag printable! https://liveoaknest.com/joy-jar-shabby-chic-tassel/

I'll also show you how to make your own DIY shabby chic cottage farmhouse tassel in 5 simple steps.

I'm sharing a fun way to start off 2021 with your word of the year, also known as your one little word or one word! This word themed tablescape is perfect for getting together with friends and family to share your one word and be encouraged for the year ahead!

You'll see all things alphabet and words in this fun tablescape. My table runner is made up of layered book pages and it drapes over either end of the table. I used an antique typewriter to anchor my table centerpiece, and framed it with vintage books and beautiful blooms! Each place setting includes a charcoal grid linen ruffle tea towel, a mini clip board with a luggage tag for crafting, a pressed glass bud vase card holder, and a scrabble rack + tiles to spell out your ONE LITTLE WORD! I've nestled extra tiles into vintage gravy boats for added charm.

What's your word of the year for 2021? I'd love to hear it in the comments!

Make sure you swing on over to the blog to grab my word of the year free oversized tag printable (including a fun word search) and hear all the ways you can keep your one little word top-of-mind all year long.

One Word of the Year with Live Oak Nest

YouTube Video UCHjoMhIGBJzFtzEqA6JKnfw_xoYrZGHHg8g

I wanted to share a beautiful and simple fall tablescape I put together using my DIY fabric pumpkins and acorns. This would be so pretty for a Thanksgiving table also!

I've used vintage and thrifted ironstone dishes, and topped each place setting off with one of my DIY fabric pumpkins!

For the centerpiece I stacked dishes and fabric acorns on a wooden riser that I made and sprinkled little fabric acorns all around.

Do you keep a joy jar or blessing jar throughout the year? Are you familiar with them? It’s basically a place to jot down and keep memories and blessings throughout the year. Then at the end of the year you read back through them as a family. ❤️ I’ve decided to do one this year and I’m using this pretty terrarium to collect all of our fun memories, blessings, and answered prayers! I made this sweet little tag and ribbon tassel to go along with it and I’m sharing it all with you as a free download over on the blog.

Hi y’all! I don’t typically do winter decor pe

Hi y’all! I don’t typically do winter decor per se. Any winter decor is usually just my Christmas decor hanging on for dear life. 😂 BUT I did take my Santa picture down and rework this little space. I had to share this BEAUTIFUL white wooden Christmas tree that my sweet friend Aimee @rusticoccasions sent me! Isn’t it gorgeous! She made this out of reclaimed wood! 😍😍😍 It looks so pretty next to the yarn art my grandma made! ❤️ Aimee is also working on some chain link hearts for Valentines that are just so precious! Swing on over to her page and check them out!

Do you keep fresh flowers around during the winter

Do you keep fresh flowers around during the winter months? I’ve loved keeping hydrangeas and winter greens on the table the last several weeks! A little hydrangea tip that I recently learned is to basically scorch the very base of your cut stem with really hot water before you place it in your vase. It helps the blooms last a little longer. I have no idea why this works since you’d think it would make them wilt, but it really does seems to help!

Hi friends! I wanted to share a last look at this

Hi friends! I wanted to share a last look at this winter tablescape tonight! I’m working on a fun one that I’ll share this coming week. 👏🏻 I’ve started to get the itch to start putting away the Christmas so I’ll probably start on that this week too.
.
.
I ran a few errands today which included browsing a local antique store that I love. Sometimes you strike out but today was not that kind of day! 😂 I found treasures left and right and had to walk the store a few times to narrow down my selections. 😅 I’ll share my finds in stories this week!
