Dear Friends,
It’s mantel time! Our Christmas mantel this year was contingent on one thing. I had to be able to keep my favorite painting over the fireplace. Things are ever-changing at the new house but I’ve decided that the painting stays where it is. The traditional red & green wouldn’t work so I embraced a new color scheme that goes better with the room.
I’m planning on piling presents on the hearth. Of course that means I have to wrap them. And shop for them. 
Did you notice the two different candles in the pic? Oops- I need to get matching ones. I spray -painted the pillars pink. The garland is from HomeGoods. The giant candies are from Garden Ridge a couple of years ago. The poinsettias are from a sweet little Girl Scout.
I’m joining holiday mantel parties at Southern Hospitality and Ten June. I can’t wait to check out all the other links! I could look at mantels all day.
Is it Wednesday yet?
