Style Scouting: Vol. 120
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
How is your Thanksgiving holiday weekend going so far? I hope you have been enjoying it with family and friends.
Ed and I had a quiet, but enjoyable few days getting to hang out with our younger daughter, Mandy. We watched movies, had casual dinners at home, ate out one night, went to a Christmas concert and took a holiday river walk.
It was warm here in SC so kayaking was also on the agenda. Not for me though, I am one month post hip replacement and moving around well, but getting into a kayak may take a little more time. :-)
Today it is back to work for me. I am going to begin to get the house ready for a Christmas Home Tour on Thursday this week. I also will be sharing something my daughter made while she was staying with us the last four days. I loved what she made and think you will too – so stay tuned.

Decorating
The most festively decorated home exteriors of the season.
Such a charming house, both the exterior and also on the inside.
I like the cozy kitchen banquette area in this home.
DIY
A nice gift to make where you can use an old frame and leftover fabric you may have from a previous project.
Look what you can do with a wire coat hanger that dry cleaner clothes are hung on.
I am a big fan of using jingle bells in my Christmas decor and love this idea.
Food
These are clever & cute Christmas cookies using these cookie lettering stamps. I also like how the cookies are displayed in these cookie box ideas.
Have you ever done this… the rice trick?
To serve for dinner on a cozy night in.
Watching & Reading
On Netflix, I watched The Noel Diary and Falling for Christmas with my daughter Mandy. We enjoyed both. Planning to watch The Swimmers. Not a holiday movie, but it is based on a true story and looks good. Have you seen either?
Stacking up my Kindle with cozy Christmas titles – Snowed In For Christmas, Murder on the Christmas Express, and Let It Snow. Do you have any cozy holiday book suggestions? If so, please leave them in the comments. :-)
Fun & Interesting
What two things made red and green popular Christmas colors?
Answer: Holly and Coca-Cola. While the tradition of red and green holly dates back to Roman winter solstice celebrations, the Coca-Cola company also played a role. The soda makers popularized the plump and jolly red-suit-wearing Santa in an ad in 1931 that made using red and green at Christmas become a color scheme.
Something to Think About
The benefits of a naked table.
