What are some season-welcoming rituals you do around the house?

THE WEEKEND
This fall season has been the most beautiful I can remember, not to mention the coldest. I tend to bring out a few items to cozy up the house for this transition. My holiday quilt and all the pine cones and woodsy things I've saved over the last couple years get scattered around the tiny apartment. I've already started receiving holiday cards and, though I usually don't like putting anything on my fridge, I don't mind showcasing these lovely greetings one bit.

Definitely adding some more blankets to the seating/beds, lighting candles, pulling out the heavier sweaters and hats, and definitely appreciate warm drinks.
ReplyDeleteP.S. That bedspread is gorgeous. I think I need it.
i love that quilt! i'm waiting to go home so we can set up one of our trees the day after thanksgiving and blast christmas music throughout the entire house.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is great. I always take full advantage of the holiday drinks at Starbucks and make a tradition of Christmas movie nights-in the as soon as Thanksgiving is over! :)
ReplyDeleteBurning more fires in the fireplace. Drinking the most perfect black tea with vanilla & cinnamon from Trader Joes. Following a Japanese tradition my hubby and I make Kadomatsu to put at our front door. I love your quilt by the way, so cozy!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely traditions. :) Stockings, Christmas cookies and homemade ornaments are some of my favorite rituals.
ReplyDeleteSo, kinda sorta obsessed with your holiday quilt. Or maybe just anything red. Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI would really really love a quilt that like - is it handmade? I can't live without my scarves in winter, best cozy feeling in the world! We also use our heating ALOT at this time of year, so our flat is always toasty :)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful and I LOVE that quilt!
ReplyDeleteYes we pull out an extra blanket, pull out the slippers (wood floors: cold!) and change the temp from cool to warm lol.
ReplyDeleteKeep warm:-)
How lovely! What a snuggly quilt!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty photos! We always prep for the holidays by pulling out everything are organizing and cleaning. We have so much family come visit that it is really needed! I hope to be seeing you at Sunday's Portland Blogger's Meet-Up!
ReplyDeleteI love pulling out all my warm blankets too :)

ReplyDeletethanks ladies! the quilt was a gift I got years ago and sadly, I'm not really sure where it's from :(
