Starting Christmas....

Do you start your Christmas decorating a few boxes and

bits at a time like I do?  After Thanksgiving passes I get excited

to switch to the Christmas season, but we don't add our tree right away

as we do a fresh tree and it won't last more than a couple of weeks.

So I pulled out a few things and started on our main rooms.

 This potted tree lights up the small painted desk

in the corner of the dining room.  I really am loving the 

more natural look this holiday season.

A few tiny faux wreaths on the backs of my new old dining room

chairs, a few tiny lights strung around my HomeGoods orb and placed on

a garden urn are some other holiday elements in the dining room.  

I plan to add large wreaths to all of my windows
 hung with green silk plaid ribbon.
