THE SCOOP #239
Even though Thanksgiving is not here yet, there is a whole lot of Christmas in the air at StoneGable. I’m decking my halls and filling bowls and baskets with greens. This year I’m mad for plaid! You will be seeing lots of white and red and plaid. I’ll be sharing a few Christmas home tours, lots of Christmas ideas and diy’s from now until Christmas. I hope you stop back daily and get a dose of Christmas… StoneGable style! And don’t forget to enter November’s Reader Appreciation Giveaway! It’s a $100.00 Visa Gift Card!!!!

Hi Tracey, Thanks to the wonderful bloggers who make this possible!
I always look forward to the Scoop and enjoy getting some really great tips and ideas. Thanks Yvonne.
Great ideas. Love all the tips.
After the “peep” of your Christmas décor, I can’t wait to see more…love the red/white/plaid combo
Wow! So many great ideas! So little time. I am so far behind this year with taking care of and passing of my dad. But the traditions mean so much more this year thanks to the memories we made at the end. I look forward to trying the sausage/apple/stuffing balls. They sound delish! Thank you for your devotion.
Hi Yvonne – Thank you for hosting and wishing you a wonderful week! Hugs, Holly

Thanks for all the great ideas !
Lots of good pins today. Thank you for hosting these inspirations.
Yvonne, you have always been a great inspiration. Thanks for hosting a great party.
I agree with comment above! It is very hard to keep up these days!
Love the holiday pillow with the tree on top of the car! So nostalgic!
Wonderful ideas!
Looking forward to catching some awesome Christmas ideas! I would love to see someone decorate a Southern theme with cotton bolls and husks. Maybe next year! I always look forward to your blogs.
Love all the ideas look forward to the scoop every week for inspiration..
Thank you for all you do!! I am excited to see your mad for plaid look for this Christmas!!!
Love the red and black combination with the Christmas tree. This is my first holiday season with Stone Gable!
I absolutely adore the pillow with the red Volkswagen with the tree on top, I ordered it yesterday. I cannot wait till it comes. Thanks for all the great ideas!
I too decorate with white and red and touches of red plaid (and this year I’m thinking of the red and black buffalo check perhaps instead of the red plaid… my tree topper is the black felt top hat – so I can get away with the red and black buffalo check I am thinking!). Can’t wait to see Stone Gable’s decorating ideas with the red, white and plaid! Thanks a lot for all your postings – you are inspirational!!!
I love plaid too. Look forward to seeing the creative ways you use it!
I love the car pillow – so festive!
Yours was the first blog I ever subscribed to and you have opened a wonderful avenue of information for me. The plaid is splendid! I plan on using it next year for a party. Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks for being a wonderful StoneGable reader!!!!
Great features, great giveaways and so much inspiration! Thank you for hosting and have a fun week.
I love the pillow with the truck and Christmas tree motif… For some reason that theme always reads quaint to me. Love your mix of patterns and colors… Truly well coordinated!
Thanks so much for hosting!!
So many and varied good ideas, I came back the 2nd night to view page 3
So can’t wait to try the pumpkin French toast 😉
Hello and thanks so much for all the wonderful ideas!!! Love, love the plaid and plan on copying some of your plaid ideas. Most of all welcome to the land of Grandmothers!!! Nothing in the world is better than that…and what a cutie this little guy is… Enjoy, enjoy each moment with him! and….thanks for the generous giveaway too…

Long time follower…always look forward to your weekly SCOOP
Your photos are always crisp. Looking forward to seeing more. Red black white green is one of my trees also
So much to see …so little time and love all your ideas. Thank you
Where did you find the wide plaid ribbon, It’s so pretty!!!
Ooh! Love those pillows on the white bench! Great legs on the bench too:) I’m loving red plaid again this year.
I love your table setting.
Love your website! And thanks for an opportunity for a win! 🙂
Because of you, Yvonne, I have embraced my love for black-and-white decor – especially checks! I’m 66 years old and decided it’s high time! I have had the best time, over the last few years, thinking outside the box – especially at Christmas. Who would’ve thought black-and-white could be so festive?!?
love the mix of colors and the welcoming theme.
Just love “The Scoop”. Thanks for hosting. Can’t wait for the next one. So many great ideas.
A wealth of ideas. Thank you so much. I am already making some of these lovelies!
