Simple Country Christmas Touches

I've finally finished decorating for Christmas.  I waited on most things this year until my daughter came home from college, as she loves to decorate.  I like to add Christmas touches to the things I already have on display. 

I added some ornaments to the scale that I inherited from my Mom, and a bow to a topiary I made last summer. 

 I added ornaments to a set of antique apothecary jars on my mantel.

And in some more apothecary jars that are sitting on an old radio.

I learned how to make a bow from  Maple and Magnolia's Blog and added a wreath to the mirror on the mantel.

I hope decorating your home and celebrating the season are going well!

Thanks for your visit!

Snowmen, Birdhouses, Plaid Ribbon and I'm Set

I love snowmen, I love plaid ribbon and love birdhouses, so generally, that's how I decorate for Christmas.

 This snowman looks cute at night all lit up.

Many years ago a couple of neighbors and I got together and painted ornaments.  Who knew I could make something like these?  :)  I made one for us and one for my Mom.  If I ever figure out how to make a big plaid bow for it, I'll add that.

I love these snowmen from Hallmark.  I added a bow to the topiary I made a few months ago and it looks festive.

My husband  reburbished this scale last year.  I like the colorful ornaments in the tray.

This was our family gift to the Grandparents and close friends when our kids were only 3 and 5 years old.  (They are both in college now)  My husband cut the trees, the kids painted all of the solid parts and I painted the details.  It was such a fun project and still makes me happy to see it.

Thanks for coming by!
