HOLIDAY TIME- IT COULD BE HANUKAH, KWANZA, CHRISTMAS OR ANY OTHER CELEBRATION

 It's that time of year when we start to think of the upcoming holidays. There are many different cultures in Canada and each has their own celebrations.  That may be Kwanza, Hanukah, or Christmas which is the most celebrated religious holiday in this country.  We haven't even finished Halloween  yet everywhere you see signs of upcoming Christmas.  I don't mind because I love Christmas.  We have had such a terrible time this year that seeing all the Christmas decor cheers people up or so it has been mentioned by psychiatrists.  We all need some cheer. Its something to look forward to.  This year will definitely be different from how we have celebrated in the past but we can still enjoy it. The most important thing is to be safe and healthy.  We have all learned how to communicate with friends and family using social platforms like zoom, facetime and various other programs.  I will be checking out more decor ideas and posting here.

I am so looking forward to Christmas this year as many of us are that I am starting this post in October.  Went for a drive to Springridge Farm in Milton.  It's a regular stop for us around Thanksgiving as well as when it is getting to the Christmas season.  They have the most beautiful decor items for your home and for gift giving, everything from items for children right to all the adults on your list.  The wonderful preserves are some of the best I have tasted.  If you like beautiful things and especially Christmas items this is a definite stop for you.

I am very sure I will be visiting many more retailers to check out their holiday offerings  but until then here are a few pictures of what you will find at Springridge Farm.

MORE BROWSING FOR HOME DECOR

As a continuation of my trips to retail stores that specialize in furniture and home decor I dropped into Structube for a little look and found many great items.  It will not disappoint. Below are a few looks you might like.  Gray is still popular but there is a lot of cognac hues throughout.

STILL CHECKING OUT HOME FURNISHINGS AND DECOR STORES

Well I have to share some of the fantastic items at Kitchen Stuff Plus (KSP) which a lot of people know about.  They have a wide array of kitchen/dining products from everyday to party.  They also have bath products and so many little gadgets you will go crazy wandering through this great store.  I am attaching some photos below of the kitchen/dining products in this post. I will share the other products in a future post. They carry high end end pieces like Staub Cookware, Henckels &  Zwilling Knives at great price points. You can even purchase dining tables and chairs, a lovely bar with storage and all the linens you would need. I could go on about the many fabulous products but you really should take some time to visit this store at one of their many locations.
