The September Tree. {Holiday Shop Feature}

   Remember how I said that I hand picked each shop included in the Holiday Gift Guide based on shops that I truly love and support myself? Well I meant it! And The September Tree is no exception- I may or may not have already bought one of my favorite Christmas gifts from Katie and have another sitting in my cart to be ordered today! 

   I love, love, love a good wreath. And Katie kind of blows it out of the park with her gorgeous burlap, boxwood {!!!}, cotton, and other creative pieces. SO many gorgeous designs to choose from. She sent me this beautiful cotton branch wreath and I can't stop staring at it. It's so unique and simple and kind of screams winter/fall. It reminds me of the grapevine wreath that I love so much, but in a better more updated way- it has so much character and I just love those little white puffs of cotton. While it's made out of faux cotton branches, they're very life-like and imperfectly perfect all clustered around. To be completely honest, I will probably keep it on my door until springtime rolls around, I love it that much! I'm also an extreme creature of habit and don't love switching out decor a dozen times a year, so having pieces that can easily fit into different seasons are my favorite.

  Here's where I should also mention that while you can find so many gorgeous pieces in Katie's shop {wreaths, bows, garden flags, tree skirts, pillows, etc}, she has also put some of that creative genius on paper and has her first book coming out in December! And you guys, it's legit. Hobby Lobby, Michael's, JoAnn's- they're all going to be carrying it! She's sharing all her best tips and ideas on crafting with burlap. Kind of amazing, right? You can preorder it here or here- just in time for Christmas!

  And if I haven't expressed how wonderful Katie {and her gorgeous decor!} is, she's also giving away a $25 shop credit! That is pretty much a steal- you could snag a wreath or gorgeous Christmas gift!  You can find the giveaway {and lots of other really, really great prizes} here.
