Have a Sophisticated Southern Christmas

My husband recently surprised me with new furniture. He works in the furniture industry so it was pretty easy for him to do this and I was more than thrilled to see my new living room chairs and coffee table. The couch, kitchen table, and china cabinet will arrive later this week. *giddy*

Well, I was telling a friend of mine that, for once, I feel like an adult. We've only been married 7 years and with three children under our belt, our furniture has not been easy on the eyes. We always thought Why bother? Our children are going to tear it up anyway.

Today, I am ecstatic to have crossed over into more of a sophisticated phase in my house. As I thought about how I want to decorate around the new furniture, I remembered a sweet little boutique I introduced you guys to back in October.

Ann-Marie is the designer behind the creations showcased at Plantation Designs and is the epitome of Southern Sophistication. As I organized Christmas Delights I knew I just HAD to include her boutique. I was thrilled when she sent me this:


This breathtaking Pinckney Holiday pillow comes with a family Monogram, the year 2008, and Merry Christmas right in front making it an instant collectible and fond memory for years to come. This pillow features a cream colored cotton canvas front framed in a beautiful red and cream damask. It is hand-painted using acrylic paints and features a cotton ball fringe trim.

The best part is you can make it your very own when your order! Ann-Marie will gladly create 3 letter Monograms, a different Christmas Message, or family name instead. She is amazingly talented and I'm sure you'll find lots of wonderful finds for your Southern decorating. I am in love with these:



Buy It

To learn more about Ann-Marie visit her Etsy Boutique, Plantation Designs or her Blog. Prices for the pillows range from $22-$65. Not only that, but she runs two other boutiques I'm sure you'll love: Ann-Marie B & The Red Carpet.
