My Merry Mantel


Hi Friends!

It's that time again...another Christmas linky party!  Today, it's all about the mantel...and I had a lot of fun with this one!


 Here she is!  

 A lot of the decor is from last year...which was my first Christmas with a fireplace.  The stockings are from Target...I love the cable knit sweater effect. 

The mercury glass candlesticks are from Pier One.  I picked up the sparkle branches from Michael's and the spheres from Ross.  The small vase has glitter snow with real and silver pine cones.

 The little flocked trees are from a local specialty store, Cork & More.




 The wreath was a find from Rite Aid!  I used the same houndstooth ribbon as the hutch to hang the wreath {see hutch here}.

 Although I stuck with a neutral palette, I love the pops of red!

Here's a glimpse of our tree...which I will be showcasing on Thursday!

So, you know the drill!  Time to link up over at Ten June and showcase all your mantel beauties!

Don't forget to prep for the upcoming parties as well!
