Our Christmas decor has evolved in the past couple of weeks for a big surprise. Below, you’ll see our tree with my beloved tarnished star and mailbox to hold all of the cards we receive. Adalyn loves going through them daily!
Framed photographs and heirloom ornaments decorate our tree this year.
This year’s gift wrap ensemble consists of kraft, red and gold. Click here for free printable gift tags.
I created Magnolia Garlands for both fireplaces. Click here for DIY instructions. As you can see, we don’t yet have a mantle {or shelves} for the fireplace below. After taking this photograph, I decided to make a couple of changes…
Above, you’ll also see an empty white frame from my Grandmother’s {to the left, a photo copy of my mom’s family Christmas card when she was just a few years old} and a ceramic platter she made years ago.
We removed the fireplace screen for an updated look and placed some birch logs in the fireplace.
My mom loved to ice skate. I hung a pair of her vintage skates in memory of her. I wish I had our old wooden sled as well-wouldn’t that look great?
Above, my mom’s book “Apples of Gold” with lots of great poems and quotes.
