Simple Garden-Inspired Christmas Mantel

The Christmas mantels at my home were kept fairly simple and as natural as possible this year.  I love fresh greenery and try to use it in place of artificial greens as much as I can because not only is it less expensive, it's prettier too!
 

A Bit of Christmas Past - Part Two

I'm up to my eyeballs in Christmas decorations around my house right now.  I have my tree and stairs done as well as several wreaths for inside and outside, but still have much to do!  In the meantime, I'm sharing some of my last year's decorations until I finish up (you can see part one here)

A Bit of Christmas Past - Part One

I hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving yesterday!  We have almost the whole family visiting here in NC and I finally got to meet my new little nephew yesterday.  It was a great day!

Flower Ad Dresser...Fresh and Green

It's been a while, hasn't it?  Right after the holiday craft fair with Shirley, my family took a very, very impromptu trip out of town for the week and just returned late Sunday.  While it was nice to be away, I'm playing catch-up now!  I started this dresser before I left and just finished it up this morning...
