Vintagey Christmas

Im getting beary tired of all this decorating
Im still rummaging through old boxes ad picking and choosing what the style of decorating will be this Christmas. Nope - still not decided, although is evolving into a rather eclectic hodgepodge of old and well loved everyday items with a bit of my comfy Christmas items and a lot of nature. Lots of evergreens, holly  and the like.

Therefore, since my house looks like the victim of a natural disaster, I will once again show some awesome photos from The Country Livings holiday decor book ~ Merry & Bright. I know...broken record, but there are some very cool ideas (and yummy cookie recipes) in there.
Does this look dangerous to anyone else?
This is one idea I have stolen for my mantel
Even I can do this ~ simply gorgeous
Please slide on over to Faded Charm and check out the many fabulous White Wednesday posts

  11. Adrienne, I have missed so many posts over here and I am sorry! I am trying not to be busy and just enjoy the holidays but it's so hard not to run run. Also with moving craziness-it doesn't help. Miss you and hope you have decided on your holiday decor! I love the bears and those white Christmas trees on the mantel.
