Martha Stewart 'jingle bell wreath' from a few years back, on a silver hanger engraved with our family name - a lovely gift from dear friends.
If you ring my doorbell I'll be happy to show you around however I'm not done yet! This is the year I'm simplifying so holiday decorations have been edited, that takes time, and I'm just using things I really love to look at and which tie in with my simple French country, with a bit of Nordic thrown in, look.............mainly in white, cream and silver.
Busy weekend. Beautiful Christmas music concert, an annual treat, along with Moravian sugar cake and sweet coffee. Spent time in the gazebo yesterday afternoon putting up the Christmas tree - quite chilly so had to make a steaming mug of chocolate to warm my frozen hands. Worth it though, the lights sparkling in the crisp air really brighten up the night garden.
Wishing you happy, fun times decorating. I'll have more pictures to share later.

As usual, it looks fabulous but then, I expect nothing less. I've put up a few things, unusual for me and we are going to get a tree since some of my grandchildren will be here.

Looking great. I adore oak leaf hydrangeas. Actually all hydrangeas, fresh or dried. They are amazing blooms.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, I just love the jingle bell wreath! That is something that would be nice to keep on for a good part of the winter! So simple, but very nice! Hydrangeas you can never go wrong with them.....all of your pictures look really fab!!!
ReplyDeleteTake Care!
