Christmas Mantel…


A cozy, warm wood fire in the fireplace...

A  hand crafted mantel made by one of the elders in our church…

An shabby old window frosted with “snow”…

Homemade NOEL ornaments made of vintage, coffee stained hymnal pages mounted on cardstock and edged with glitter, hang from a branch…

Tealights glow inside mercury glass votives…

A favorite Christmas card stands in a vintage flower frog…

Paper Joy to the World garland twined among green garland…

Pinecones, twig stars, white faux berries tucked here and there…

The stockings hung BY the chimney on a vintage, wooden ladder…

We’re warm, cozy and savoring His blessings.

God bless you and yours this Christmas time!

  2. Love your mantel! Everything is just perfect. I haven't started my mantel yet - going too many directions. Hope to get it done today.

  5. Your vignette is lovely. I always send irreverent Christmas cards, so mine would never make it into your stand. Love your eye.

  8. I wish I could fashion things like that! I love everything. It all says "HOME". How in the world did you get the snow like that? I've tried, and it's just a mess for me.
