When it comes to the holidays, I still love the look of a good old-fashioned
Country Christmas!
The wreath sets the stage. I bought it at a charity auction a few years ago. I still love the rich colors, the mix of textured greens, fruits and berries. And the layered bow.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...
We're a family of five now.
Collections are such fun at Christmas. You accumulate so many treasures over the years. This is really the time to display them. I mixed Santas, mercury glass, silver and evergreens on my mantel this year.
Many of my Santas were gifts.
Getting them out each year brings back sweet memories.
I love this little guy!
And the sparkle of candlelight flickering in the mercury glass.
Using a variety of greens adds a nice texture to the mantel.
I'm probably not finished layering just yet.
And of course, a few Santas for the hearth too!
The bear is from the Christmas we spent at The Wilderness Lodge in
Disney World. That was a magical year!
And yes, Santa finds you wherever you are on Christmas!
And yes, Santa finds you wherever you are on Christmas!
Ho,Ho,Ho...
I hope your holiday sparkles with delight this year!
