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!

holiday mantel 2012...

I kept my mantel simple this year...

Mixing some of my old favorites...

With a few new purchases like these cute mini white pine cones from Michael's...

Breaking out my faux mercury glass pieces and tucking my faux greens in...

Adding classic colors of the season with some vintage books...

Just look at this sweet one I found treasure hunting in New Hampshire...

I hung my Pottery Barn sparkly wreath over my vintage mirror...

Then I added one of my favorite ornaments I picked up at HomeGoods quite a few years ago...

All blending together for a simple holiday mantel.

Thanks for stopping by!
