We know Halloween literally just happened, but we can't lie — we're getting pretty amped about the holidays. Visions of evergreen trees, roasted turkeys, and (ahem) some fabulous fashion prezzies are already dancing in our heads. That's why we had no choice but to add this weekend's Holiday Open House at Red Barn Mercantile, one of our fave vintage-meets-new home design outposts, to our to-do list.
The shop debuts new Christmas ornaments, vintage-inspired home decor items and gift-worthy goodies. Our pick? The selection of Tatine Garden + Forest Infusions candles in Woodsmoke or Pine. Snag one and you can cross "hostess gift" off your holiday shopping list right away. Stock up on cozy sheets, blankets, and quilts from Pine Cone Hill, or pick up some cool antique knick-knacks for your pad, to get it party-ready. Oh, and they have a discount tree decorated with super-special ornaments — pick one off the tree and you'll get a discount of either 5%, 20%, or 30% off anything in the store. Feeling festive yet?
