let there be light...

In my last post, I shared my holiday mantel for this year.
Thank you so much for your sweet comments and compliments!

I love the way it came out, but I would really love to have it lit with a warm glow at night.
While at the shop today I picked up a faux garland that matched my faux greens I already had.
So, after a little fluffing ~ let there be light...





Just looking at it makes me smile (tis the season to be jolly)...


Oh, and if you take a peek at the shop's Facebook page, you might just get another song to stick in your head!

Thanks for visiting ~ enjoy the rest of your weekend!
