Christmas shopping made easy

We're making our lists and checking them twice, and with Christmas officially 5 weeks away, it's time to start adding some checkmarks next to those to-dos! From ornaments, to gifts and stocking stuffers, the Penney & Co. stores have you covered. Check out my Christmas blog posts for Pineapple Street, Sweet Violet and Penney & Co., and see some of my favourite things below.

Fall Flowers

A new crop of flowers have arrived at Pineapple Street, just in time for creating your Thanksgiving table centre piece or grabbing your hostess gift! Sold by the stem--you can create your own arrangement, or have them arranged for you. How perfectly Fall are those orange Daisies?

Just Because

Just because... today feels like the most picture-perfect Fall day, and Pineapple Street is Autumn ready!

Make sure to check out Whitby Heritage Day this Saturday, Sept. 20.

You can find me at Pineapple Street. Hope to see you there :)

Trending

I have seen burlap being used in decor for awhile now. In fact, I have a burlap pillow from Restoration Hardware in my living room!

I have also been eyeing this burlap ottoman from the 'McPherson Boutique.' It looks great in here, doesn't it? Wink. Wink.

But it was when my girlfriend asked me to help her with her wedding decor, and presented me with this spread as her inspiration, that I knew it was a trend worth mentioning.

A quick search on Pinterest and I am already full of ideas. I am loving this elegant table number--it is the perfect balance of feminine and rustic.

Looking for a subtle and cost-effective way of incorporating this trend into your home? Try using a burlap table runner, available at Pineapple Street.
