One thing on my bucket list is to visit the Christmas Markets in Europe.  I have heard this experience is truly magical.  Our travel sponsor Carrie Mandala put together this beautiful peek into the markets for our readers.  Carrie is a travel expert and can help with planning any trip, to contact Carrie, click HERE.




The Christmas season is such a special time to visit Europe. Not only are the crowds gone, but each city is alive with their own unique markets and celebtations. Wander the stalls of Europe’s most traditional and enchanting Christmas Markets, shopping for handcrafted toys and gifts, sipping hot mulled wine and inhaling the fragrance of gingerbread and roasted chestnuts. Another fabulous way to take in many of the different markets is a river cruise down the Danube or the Rhine during this magical time of year.

We all spend a lot of time planning our Holiday table but what about our Holiday Bar Cart?  Bar Carts have become so popular and a must have in entertaining settings.  Its such a great idea to include the bar cart in your holiday decor.  I have been working on mine for a while now.  I love the look of hanging a wreath or garland in front.  So far I have two white glittery trees adorning both levels of mine but I have a long way to go.  These photos have given me so much inspiration.  However, I might just end up changing gears and turn the whole cart into a coffee cart.  I think this is a fabulous idea.  I first saw this on Pinterest and immediately fell in love.  You decide for yourself.  Here’s a good place to start!
