The Last Look at Christmas 2013

 I love this season so much!

Can't get enough of it.

James bought me this awesome wooden antique bowl in South Carolina this fall.

I wanted to bring back a treasure & this fit the bill.

A branch of pine greenery & some fancy pine cones fill it perfectly.

The gift stack grew and grew ...  whew, that's a lot of boxes under there.

This deer pillow is a new addition ... isn't he festive?

And I got 2 new lamps a few weeks ago.

We were needing a couple lamps for bedrooms upstairs, so I did a switch-a-roo.

I'll show you more of these later on.

Here's my piano in her Christmas finery.

The window pane, antique mirror, along with the burlap banner have been here for a while ...

I like them to well to move them.

I filled my lantern with antique Christmas ornaments & pine cones

& tied it all up with a brown bow.

James bought me this snowman several years ago ...

I commented on how cute it was & next thing I know,

it was under the tree.

In years past, I've decked out the whole staircase with garland, but it just feels so busy.

I decided to scale back to this, added lights & it's perfect.

Above the patio door, a pine cone wreath hangs in between the antique cutting board & Mr. Antlers.

And one of my favorite pieces, the chalkboard that I repurposed

& the silhouette of my 3 handsome boys, made for me by a sweet friend.

Until Christmas 2014, Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
