Our mantel is my favorite space to decorate for every season.
I so enjoyed putting this together based on inspiration
from my little Christmas pillow from our Maine days.
The woodland theme throughout our home evolved from this one
sweet little pillow.
One Santa, one reindeer and the trees.....
We have really enjoyed this every evening....
I love the textures, the touches of plaid, the tiny white lights....
it has that woodland, yet elegant, look of our woodlands in Maine.
I do believe he is my favorite Santa in my entire collection...
I love his face, his expression, the lantern and his gray felt coat
sprinkled with a touch of frosty snow.....
I was looking for just the perfect deer to pair him with and found him..
both were purchased from Lowe's.
(please ignore my hand in the photo!!)
I fell in love with this metal tree from Target....a different texture and
just what I was wanting for the woodland trees.....
I paired this tree with the pinecone/berry tree.
I added another frosty evergreen/berry arrangement and draped
the mistletoe greenery throughout the vignette.
I am loving the micro strand lights....they are so easy
to work with and add the perfect touch of soft lighting....
both were from the dollar isle at Target, last summer.
The silver ice trees are from the VPH collection...
the little plaid houses are from Pier One.
He looks like a very sweet kind Santa doesn't he?
Oh how I love deer....just majestic and beautiful......
The last purchase was this gorgeous garland....
it all came together and we love it!
And yes....we are MERRY and celebrating the Christmas season.
We hope your holiday is Merry and Bright also!
That is so lovely, Betsy! It really does look like the pillow! Great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a sweet comment Deanna. I so enjoy your visits and wish you a very Merry Christmas day.
DeleteEverything is just beautiful. Isn't it funny how we find one Santa and he becomes our favorite? I love the soft look yours has. His clothing is beautiful and he has a dear, sweet face. I, too, love deer and have several that I usually display. Not this year because so much of my stuff is over our warehouse in preparation for a spring time move.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful, blessed Christmas. xo Diana
