MERRY CHRISTMAS

~*~ From our home to yours... We wish you a very Merry Christmas! ~*~

We're ready for Santa!  I enjoyed doing something a little different this year with decorating our Christmas tree and staircase.  Ribbons and bows!  I used lots of ribbon, and some bows.  I also used some white poinsettias on the tree and on the staircase garland.  I wanted a less is more look this year.  I believe I achieved that!

I hope your Christmas is Merry and Bright, and may all your wishes come true.  May your New Year be happy and prosperous!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Our Christmas Tablescape

It won't be long now, Christmas is almost here!  I’ve set a fun and festive table with lots of sparkle for our traditional holiday dinner.

We’re excited to enjoy our family Christmas/New Year’s celebration with our kids and grandkids this weekend!   We’ll soon enjoy some good food, open presents, then ring in the New Year!

Cheers to that!

Looking forward to the 2018 New Year ahead!...

Hello WINTER

~ The winter solstice has officially begun.  Our winters are usually not so bad here in the South, and that’s fine with me! I do enjoy a white Christmas though... We just may see one this year!  The days will be getting longer as I look forward to Spring.  Stay warm my friends!

I'm busy preparing for the Christmas holiday, as I'm sure most everyone is doing at the moment!  I always find time to decorate, I enjoy it so much, especially at the holidays.  I couldn't resist finding a way to use these sweet little brush trees.  A winter scene on my coffee table was just the right touch, and a "Hello to winter." 

~Warm winter wishes~

Holiday Tablescape

~ I enjoy setting a pretty tablescape, most especially during the holidays!  I also enjoy seeing the holiday decor that has been stored away, it's like an early Christmas present when opening up the storage bins and peeking at what's inside.  I try to shop my home before purchasing any new items for each season.  But, I love a good sale, too!  Low cost decorating is my favorite way to decorate.  

It’s always fun to create different and interesting place settings.   My love for gold on display here!  Layers create a nice visual and add interest.  This is simple and elegant. and it was oh so easy to pull together.

~ Wishing you days that are merry and bright!...

Christmas Decor ~ Dressing the Staircase

The joy of Christmas brings out the child in all of us!

The Christmas tree is always the star of the show!  I give the staircase a chance to compete with the tree just a little!

“He’s making a list and checking it twice!!”

I enjoy decorating my staircase with my sweet little Santa with his sleigh and reindeer, and a mini Christmas tree!  I've had them for a few years and always look forward to unpacking them each holiday!  I plan to do a simple "less is more" approach this year.  We'll see if they are part of the decor this time, if not I'll be looking forward to seeing them next year!  

Christmas is certainly creeping up on us!  There’s still much to do on my “to-do” list!

Hello December

I love these beautiful golden snowflakes, they sparkle, and they never melt!  I used them to decorate my stair rail along with some festive green garland on this occasion.  

Snow flakes have been falling in Georgia over the past few days!  An uncommon event around here!  It has come and gone in our area.  What a beautiful sight it was while it lasted though!

Happy December Everyone!...
