Christmas Decor Tour for 2009

You have seen my front porch garland in an earlier post, here........

And my santas.........

And more santas..........

And you saw the mercury glass, here:


NOW - for the new stuff -
Here is my snowman collection...........

And another little winter scene..........

And a cute santa my then 12-year old (NOW 13 year old) clone painted.........

Some greenery and old christmas tree lights in a silver bowl.........

And the stockings hung by the chimney, stairs with care.

And our tree .........

(frasier fir)

I would love to have a second tree (fake) for the front of the house.

But that will just have to wait for another year or two.

Meanwhile, here are some close-ups of a few of my favorite ornaments.

In my opinion, fresh greenery is KEY!

This may not photograph very well, but I love putting magnolia in the chandelier.
This is my kitchen table lighting - I use the same ornaments tied together with the same ribbon, every year.

And here is a little fresh boxwood in some silver mint julep cups.

Another "key" is simple round ornaments.

Here, I have combined the two (fresh greenery and ornament balls) with some pinecones in a trifle dish I rarely use for food because I always forget it is in the cabinet.

Easy Peasy.
