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!
