One Eleven Main and Aldena Frye Floral Designs invite you to join them tonight, Tuesday December 8th from 5pm-8pm for wine and Hors d'oevres while you shop. When you've made your wish list, these local shops will invite the men in your life for beer and chips the next week, while they buy for you! What a grand idea!

Bring a friend for an evening on West Main Street in historic Aberdeen!

When it comes to decorating, I’ve been practicing what I call “holiday minimal” for years. Here’s how it works: If you’re going to do less, do something fabulous that can last through several seasons.

Last week, I went to Aldena Frye Floral Designs in downtown Aberdeen for a “November to March” table centerpiece. I took some blue porcelain balls I already had as the inspiration for the design and explained that I was looking for something “woodsy” for Thanksgiving but able to transition to the holidays and carry through the winter. Aldena wrote this down (along with my budget) and voila: 

I’m especially pleased with the feathers and berries – both work well for winter and Thanksgiving. For Christmas, Aldena suggested nesting some sliver ball ornaments into the moss. 

Now that my dining room is set for the seasons, its your turn. Take Aldena a picture of your room or even just an idea and you’ll end up with something fabulous too.

She’s even offering sandhillsDig.com readers 10% OFF through the holidays, so print this post and take it with you!
