Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
How is your December going so far? Are you taking it easy and enjoying the season? That would be me this year – making sure to focus on the parts of the season I love the most.
Ed has been out in LA, so I have just been hanging out by myself all week getting a lot done, listening to Christmas music and watching holiday movies.
When I looked over my collection of Christmas movies, I have many, but my absolute favorites that I can watch over and over again are:
- Desk Set with Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy
- Christmas in Connecticut with Barbara Stanwyck
- While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman
Do you have any favorite Christmas movies that you can watch on repeat and love every minute?

Hi, Diane!
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I wanted to ask you about your wooden bead garland. I think you purchased yours, but I found a bead supplier who has wooden beads, and wanted to know roughly a ballpark for the size of the beads on yours, and how long it is. It looks so versatile, that I want to make one or two for myself, but in different colors.
The idea for the yarn ball garland is stupendous. I teach crochet and passed it along to all of my students. We ALL have balls of yarn that we don’t know what to do with.
Thank you for all you do! You really are encouraging.
Love and prayers for little Zoe.
Helen
Hi Helen – The white beaded garland I have is from Pottery Barn. The size of the beads are 1-1/2″ in diameter. I also made one myself with tassels on the ends. The beads I used for this are 1″ (25mm) in diameter. You can see that one here: https://bit.ly/36uHgRG.
Thanks for thinking of Zoe. XO
Those are three of my favorite Christmas movies too! I often give people copies of Christmas in Connecticut because they have never heard of it. And if you haven’t seen Meet Me in St.Louis, it’s a lovely movie and Judy Garland sings Have Yourself a Merry Litle Christmas. I know your granddaughter has been ill, and I don’t know the details but please know your family is in my prayers. I hope you have a happy Christmas!
Hi Lisa –
I have done the same thing with copies of Christmas in CT. I think people haven’t heard of it because it was never promoted like It’s a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th St. Have you ever watched the remake of Christmas in CT starring Dyan Cannon and Kris Kirstofferson? It is OK, but not as good as the original. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
You continue to outdo yourself with each post. I have really enjoyed all the holiday ones. I hope you had a relaxing break this week with Ed gone. I also hope Zoe is continuing to do well. I’m sure she loves all the one-on-one attention and care she is receiving. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope to try last week vegan recipe soon.
Thank you for all of your lovely, inspiring and thoughtful posts. I’m wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a truly healthy New Year. My favorite Christmas movies that I like to rewatch are: Christmas with the Coopers, Fred Claus and The Christmas Chronicles (the first one) – all have humor and are touching – my favorite combo. Merry Christmas!
