Country Christmas Mantel

When it comes to the holidays, I still love the look of a good old-fashioned

Country Christmas!

The wreath sets the stage. I bought it at a charity auction a few years ago. I still love the rich colors, the mix of textured greens, fruits and berries. And the layered bow.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...

We're a family of five now.

Collections are such fun at Christmas. You accumulate so many treasures over the years. This is really the time to display them. I mixed Santas, mercury glass, silver and evergreens on my mantel this year.

Many of my Santas were gifts.

Getting them out each year brings back sweet memories.

I love this little guy!

And the sparkle of candlelight flickering in the mercury glass.

Using a variety of greens adds a nice texture to the mantel.

I'm probably not finished layering just yet.

And of course, a few Santas for the hearth too!

The bear is from the Christmas we spent at The Wilderness Lodge in

Disney World. That was a magical year!
And yes, Santa finds you wherever you are on Christmas!

Ho,Ho,Ho...

I hope your holiday sparkles with delight this year!
