Adore Holiday 2021

design, this charming home exudes happiness and joy, especially at Christmas when Sam's many talents truly shine. Sam decorates the day after Thanksgiving in order to enjoy the holiday décor the entire season. "All of my gifts will be under the tree on that Friday and festive embellishments that complement each room in the house will be in place." Her stunning tree holds over 800 ornaments (they had to switch to an artificial tree the year the fresh one toppled over under the weight) and many of them commemorate favorite family vacations and milestone events. The true showstoppers are Sam's expansive collection of iconic Shiny Brites. Shiny Brite ornaments, introduced by Corning Glass in 1937, were the most popular ornaments across the nation throughout the 1940s and 1950s. This vintage look — classic and all American — suits Sam's sunny personality and vibrant home perfectly.
