Christmas Around the Fireplace

Every Christmas, I get the same thrill when I glimpse an ornament and/or a string of lights.

Merry Christmas everybody!

From my home to your home,

may your holiday be filled with

love

joy

peace

and

happiness.

All is black, bright, white and merry.....

When it comes to holiday decorations, I say bring on the ornaments. 

Coffee time, so join me as I share lots of pictures of my Christmas Fireplace all decked out. 

 Be sure to check out how these books add a punch.

 I love the white swags.

For the mantel, I hung two white swags  with draped berries.

At each end, I placed clusters of ornaments.  I don't like anything matchy matchy, so the corners vary in color and size.

 

The brush Christmas trees are Targets dollar spot  finds.

I search thrifty stores for unique ornaments.

  For some reason, I broke sooo many glass ornaments. 

Ornaments are the perfect accessories and
look great

 on

Christmas trees,

and

 clusters on the mantel.

Lanterns complete the décor around a fireplace.

So obsessed with my sign

 

As you unwrap your gifts,

let the giver know you love them as much as the gift.

Until the next time.

Merry Christmas

Winter decor



Something about that white stuff inspires me!

It's the view .... everything so fresh, so white, so clean and so pure.   

These snow days motivated me to "let it go" wishing for an early spring, or a temp of at least 40 degrees,  but to relax and enjoy the moment.  

So my version

relaxation and moments of enjoyment .... simple changes in my home.

I begun adorning my trunk with a wintry setting.


It started with a switcheroo as I hummed "let it  go, let it go, let it go".  Feel free to hum along!

It took me a while to complete this simple winter scene as my initial thought was to showcase my furry throw I purchased for the winter.

here it is,

my trunk,

Simple but yet so beautiful.

My trunk is the perfect space to adorn.  I love it because it can be done with just a few items.



  
Pine cones make a great statement. I purchased several bags and they have been well used from  fall to winter.

The frosted candle holders and snowflake candles compliment each other and reflect a perfect winter scene.



When I saw this sign, it screamed "take me home, I'll be that conversational piece for you".

The bottle brush tree loves its new home.  

My most recent find.

I purchased these boxes several years ago from Michael's and HomeGoods.  Great choices.

Today, the sun is shinning and I am so thankful we didn't lose power.

 Warm wishes!
