Shop Gal Guide | December Edition

We love a good list. We all have notes in our phones of all the shops that we have heard about that we want to visit or that are tried and true staples for us.
This month our shop gals are curating everything they'll need for a cozy Christmas morning with their people.

Elsie's Eight | December Edition

 Here at Elsie Green, we have cultivated a culture of extreme inspiration - good books, delicious recipes, photographs, films, and any and everything in between. 
We are all very nostalgic for our traditions and the month of December is when that really shines through. We wanted to share a round up of our favorite things to do this month with our friends and family.

JP's Tips on Choosing the Perfect Tree - elsie green

JP's Tips on Choosing the Perfect Tree

As a young man, JP spent his summers working at a fruit & flower stand and his winters working at a Christmas tree lot. Every year when we choose our tree, he knows exactly what he's looking for, and he's always right.  Each year we say "this is the best tree yet."

Simple Pleasures - elsie green

Simple Pleasures

"Make it simple, but significant."  - Don Draper

Those words have always resonated with me.  Now more than ever because I only have six days in December when all three of my children will be in the same state.

Countdown to Christmas | Advent Calendars - elsie green

Countdown to Christmas | Advent Calendars

The advent calendar is my favorite Furber family Christmas tradition. But, we do a little differently than your usual 12 day countdown. The entire month of December, my mom leaves small presents every third day for each of us three kids. I'll start, then my brother, then my sister, and it repeats until the 24th. She leaves us little treats like nail polish, gift cards, or charitable donations, and it's the best thing to wake up to every day.
