The front porch...
As usual, we cut down a really huge tree and then had to chop a lot of the bottom to fit it in the house. It was okay, though, because I had plenty of branches for making a wreath, a garland, and sprigs to tuck here and there. The ornament in the bottom right picture is the one we picked out on our Christmas date.
So much better than a fake garland! I might do this every year. The vase with branches is a card tree. We have a few up now!
Of course, I had to make new stockings this year. These were made out of old plaid shirts I picked up at Goodwill. Yes; I'm still obsessing over plaid. I did not come up with the chalkboard graphic on my own. I'm just really good at copying stuff I see on pinterest. The advent garland is still a favorite!
I didn't have the gallery wall up in time for Christmas last year, so I was excited to switch out the sheet music for some Christmas pieces.
That's it! Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Emily,
ReplyDeleteYou have so many great elements in your Christmas decor. I'm loving the plaid lunch box and of course your stockings. The framed Christmas music a nice touch and real greenery is the best. Merry Christmas!
