Well, the baking is done; I just mailed Holiday cards out today and I’ve got just a little more shopping to do. I always love to see how others have decorated for the holidays, so I snapped a few pictures from around our house to share with you.
My motto was to keep things simple this year … using natural things like greenery, flowers and fruit and basic holiday items like ornaments, bells and candy canes to decorate. I then sprinkled in a few of my favorite little holiday signs and critters.

I decided to do the garland a little differently this year … instead of wrapping it around the tree, I have it hanging down in spirals from the top.

I also bought some cute button garland from Ballard (sorry, you can’t see it very well in this picture.)

I always love hanging up these colorful stockings handmade by Dan’s mom. (She even made 2 for our cats!) They have a lovely vintage look and feel.

Sometimes something as simple as a collection of round glass ornaments in a pretty color is all you need for a little sparkle.

I opted out of full garland along the banister this year in favor of these simple boxwood stars.

Vintage sleigh bells are a great way to fill a tray … and this Spiced Eggnog candle from Anthropologie smells heavenly!

I love this O Holy Night print I ordered from Jones Design Company. I just popped it in a rustic frame I bought at Hobby Lobby.

Hope everyone is enjoying the season. Be sure to take time out from the hustle and bustle to do the special things that makes you happy!
