Christmas Mantel

I'm finally sharing my Christmas Mantel. I've been ~~almost~~ finished decorating since lastly Fri when nosotros had a Dominicus School plane corporation inward our home, only something nearly the mantel was bugging me. So, today I finally did a chip of tweaking in addition to came upward alongside something I'm actually happy with!

I honey looking at in addition to thence many unlike Christmas decorating themes, only I'm a traditional ruby in addition to light-green daughter alongside lots of natural elements mixed in. Once 1 time again I used my copper-y lanterns that y'all mightiness recognize from my fall mantel.

These bark covered birdhouses are some of my favorite Christmas items. I've had them on the mantel for several years. They came from Hancock's fabrics-of all places.

I purpose this traditional Christmas plaid ribbon everywhere. If something doesn't await quite right, it must take away a bow! They quit carrying this blueprint several years agone at Hobby Lobby in addition to I haven't seen it anywhere else, in addition to thence I'm hoarding every piddling fighting I have. I can't recollect always NOT using this plaid alongside my Christmas decorations, in addition to thence that agency it's been some for most of the 17 Christmases that we've been married!

I made both of the stockings for the kids-although I don't think Emily got hers until her SECOND Christmas. Man, those things took forever!

These darling piddling plumage trees were novel additions a few years ago. They came from Gordman's.

The glitz in addition to glimmer of a few ornaments helped brighten things upward a bit-those are what I added lastly infinitesimal today in addition to they made such a difference!

This twelvemonth I dressed upward the plaid stockings alongside a chip of leopard trim. My married adult man saw them in addition to said "Couldn't y'all accept done camo on mine?" (Then I took the trim down off of his.)
