My Christmas Mantel

Christmas is a time of peace and therefore I have decorated very simply this year.  It's been such a busy time and I have spent the fall getting everything placed just so in our new home, that to change it all to decorate wasn't a priority.  I do love to decorate the mantel however and was very grateful to have one this year.

A wreath hung on a jutting stone...

 ...found items

 A bit of candle light
 And family treasure give it warmth and meaning.
  Natural fresh flowers
and a bit of whimsy finish it off.  Stockings will be hung elsewhere this year.


A gift of a scented candle and fresh evergreens scent the foyer and set a mood

And simple touches here and there hung on knobs evoke the simplicity I wanted

Merry Christmas!
