today's Tuesday Tip is simple and a bit nutty. pun intended.

one of my favorite things to do when decorating for the holidays is to fill a bowl with mixed nuts. it's easy, adds some natural hues and a little texture, and it's lovely. throw them in a pretty dish or a small basket and—viola! an easy bowl filler.

from a coffee table to a console table to a table setting in your dining room, this is an effortless way to create interest and make a simple snack a bit more elegant. what more could you want?

just don't forget a nutcracker like I did this past holiday season. oops!

thanks for tuning into another edition of Tuesday Tips at the tiny white house!
