Christmas Mantel

Today I helped my mother do the Christmas mantel at my parents' house and I loved it!


This Oh Holy Night sign was a gift to my parents a few years ago and rather than hanging it, we are displaying it on an easel. 
It nicely balances the angel duo. My parents received the handsome earthenware candleholders many years ago from my aunt.

The wreath anchors the mantel and adds both depth and color.

Their slim tree is decked-out in treasured ornaments, all of which have a story. Some were purchased by my mother when she was a new teacher fresh out of college. Others were bought by my parents when they got married. Many were gifts, souvenirs from trips and crafted pieces lovingly made by others for our family.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
everywhere you go. 🎜🎝🎜🎝🎜
