Gift Guide This holiday and every day, give big.
Shop small. When you buy from a small mom and pop business, you are not helping a CEO buy a third boat. You are helping a little girl take dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a mom or dad put food on the table, a family pay for a mortgage, or a student pay for college. When you shop small you keep your money closer, so your community and those in it can go further. Feels good doesn’t it? Here are three ways to make it feel even better: Get vocal on social. Post pictures, tweets, and status updates of yourself shopping at a small business. Be sure to use the hashtag #ShopSmall. Hit Yelp. Write positive Yelp reviews for the small businesses you love and support. Sign up for local business’ loyalty programs. Not only will you be supporting a local business, but you’ll get discounts and rewards for it, too. Ready to “sleigh” your holiday gift list? Check out the following pages for dozens of small businesses eager to help you give big. And kids, don’t miss the chance to write your letter to Santa on Page 11!

Mix together a batch of fruitcakes, three dozen Christmas trees, 10,000 outdoor Christmas lights, a chicken pox epidemic, two southern spinsters, an estranged old man, a lost cat named Tutti Frutti and a Christmas hog named Buster and you’ve got the recipe for a fun-filled and touching evening of holiday cheer. Into this world comes Jamie, a kid who has run away from home and come as far as his money will take him. At first he thinks the town’s inhabitants are “nuttier than fruitcakes,” but soon he comes to admire, appreciate and adore the nutty place. A moving story of alienation, understanding and reconciliation, Fruitcakes provides audiences with a heaping helping of holiday warmth and Christmas cheer.

Quick pre-holidays room refresh: stencil for amped up style By Nancy Powell
nterIors Powell Brower Interiors Info@PowellBrower.com By N nancy Powell Photos by
Need a quick room refresh before the holidays, or an easy home project to look forward to in the New Year? We’ve got just the thing. One way to make a great impact with little cost and effort is to create a wall treatment. If you haven’t gotten the word, wallpaper is back in style in a big way. Papers are more graphic, more versatile, more textural and natural, and best of all, more removable than ever before. Companies like Tempaper , Chasing Paper, Blik, Casart Coverings, and most wallpaper manufacturers offer peel and stick alternatives to conventional wallpaper paste methods of installation. Or with very little cost and a little sweat equity you can create a wall pattern with paint and a stencil. This DIY stencil project is fun and easy, and the result is super stylish. In this application I chose to do a stencil from Royal Design Studio (RoyalDesignStudio.com). There are hundreds to choose from, and while you can apply various colors to a stencil treatment, consider this monochromatic tone on tone effect. The wall is painted in a flat finish and the stencil is painted in a semi-gloss finish. The color shown here is Sherwin William’s Red Theater. Continued on page 28

Bear in mind these 4 basics 1. Consistency. Your centerpiece should complement the rest of your décor. Whether it’s classic country, traditional, or shabby chic, your centerpiece should be consistent with your style. 2. Proportion. A centerpiece should be proportional to the table and surroundings. Too small and it will be lost. Too large and it will overwhelm the space. 3. Practicality. This goes hand-in-hand with proportion. Your centerpiece shouldn’t cramp the place-settings when guests sit down to eat, nor obstruct their ability to see and talk with each other. 4. Personality. Your centerpiece should reflect your personality. Whether it’s simple or elaborate, understated or glitzy, traditional or quirky, it should reflect the unique you that your guests know and love.

Holiday Gift Guide 2017
“Fresh fall leaves and branches add drama and impact while being the least expensive components. The trickiest part of this type of arrangement is timing. Unlike oak leaves, maple leaves shrivel and curl up so, in order to achieve full impact, they need to be fresh trimmings. But if you have trees on your property and a few other objects in your cabinets, you can create a tablescape that might cost you nothing while achieving a look that would cost someone else hundreds of dollars.” Dan Moore, owner, Daniel J. Moore Design, Marshall
Make your own 1. Shop. At the market, pick up a few extra apples, pears, oranges, or winter squash, maybe a pineapple or some pomegranates, and some fresh flowers. 2. Gather. Rummage through your house, or a local thrift shop, for things like candles, ornaments, hurricanes or large glass jars, an interesting vase or jug, a metal tray, a mirror, or a platter. 3. Take a walk. At this time of year, nature provides a bounty of lovely natural materials. Bring a basket and stroll your backyard or nearby park to gather fallen leaves, twigs and branches, acorns, pinecones, seed pods, feathers, berries, evergreen stems, grass-heads, and flowers. 4. Assemble. When you’ve gathered all the components, have some fun putting things together. Think about composition and decide on a unifying element – color or shape or pattern. And do make sure that everything is anchored securely: you don’t want pieces toppling off during dinner.
