One of my mom's gorgeous centerpieces she makes every year-simple & elegant.
Living room mantel~How I love white & silver!
Angel wings brought over by a dear friend from her lovely shop Bliss Farm Antiques I adore these!
Picked up the silvery fern-like stuff at a favorite gift shop. It looks fabulous on this mantel in my office. I think I'll leave it up all winter!
My little french snowman made by a friend. You should see the others in her collection. I plan on buying everyone of them.
Snow covered boxwood out on the deck~Our first significant snowfall.
While ordering a birthday present for a dear friend from mackenzie-childs I was told that I'd get free shipping for orders over 200 dollars. It was a no brainer-of course I needed this rug for the kitchen!
It's always so much fun decorating for the holidays, but even more importantly, celebrating with good food, family & friends. We will be hosting our annual Italian Christmas Eve dinner for 36 (sit down-only I'm the one that never sits-lol!) & enjoying every minute of being together. From my family to yours "Merry Christmas!" xoxo
Beautiful decor~~~I love your tree!!
Have a blessed time with a full house of Family & friends..just how the holidays should be...I know it will wonderful :))
Enjoy your adorable granddaughter too!

Merry Christmas Chris! Your home looks beautiful. I am wishing you, peace, health, love and prosperity for the coming New Year.
I though about you while I was in Naples over Thanksgiving. One day, we will time it right and have a chance to meet.
