Hi friends, 
Have you noticed how things are continually changing? Seasons change, time changes twice a year, we change as we mature, and the world around us is changing more quickly than we might like. 
 
As I was decorating the shoppe for Christmas the last couple weeks, I've been thinking about change. Here we are at the beginning of another Christmas season. Some change we are used to, some change happens so gradually that we hardly notice. Some change is good, some not so good, and some is not what we want at all. 
 
This month's blog post is about intentionally choosing something different for yourself. I share my experience of finding clarity while making a difficult decision along with some tips I hope you find helpful. You can read it below. 
 
We are heading into a busy time of year with lots of gatherings. If you are looking for a space to celebrate the holidays or a milestone with a small group, contact me to rent our lovely, cozy space! We had a lovely group of ladies here last night celebrating a 70th birthday. They brought their own craft project to do and snacks and drinks. It was so fun to hear the shoppe filled with laughter and chatting!
* Small groups up to 12 people work the best. 
* Must be after hours (starting at 4 pm). 
Email me at bellabotanicaboutique@gmail.com with your questions. 
 
This Sunday, November 12, is our last day of our Christmas Open House. Stop in to get a jump on your shopping, enter to win door prizes, and you might hear some live piano music. Special hours: 10 am - 4 pm. 
 
Next Friday is Light Up the Night. We will be set up at Burlington Menswear in the Loop. It's a city-wide celebration and a great kick-off to the holiday season. We'll have special botanical gifts available that night, 4-8 pm.

Hope you have a blessed day and that we'll see your lovely face at the shoppe soon!

Like an Eagle
It was early for a Saturday. But after a couple months of intentionally dragging myself out of bed at 4:55 am - even on weekends - early mornings had become a natural rhythm. Wrapped in a warm blanket with steaming cup of tea in hand, I sat in the screened-in porch to greet the dawn.

We are taking orders for fresh wreaths and swags. Above is our Brass Bell Fresh Swag. It's made of fresh, locally-grown greens, preserved eucalyptus, and antique-looking bells. Orders will be ready for pick up starting Wednesday, November 22.
