A Sparkly Mantel

My mother's mantel is ready for the season and it's sparkly! We love the red and silver combination and the way the sparkles catch the light.



This poinsettia came from Home Goods maybe four years ago. It's made of thin tin with lovely silver gems in the center. 


For years we have hosted a table at my parents' church for Advent by Candlelight. Naturally, the event had to be canceled this year and we really missed it. 🙁 One year we used this trio of angels on our table.


The picture does not justify the sparkly picks. They are vibrant silver in person and really capture the light. The red and silver ornaments came attached to the stems. My mother had them in her stash from previous use and we believe that they came from Hobby Lobby.


A simple vase filled with shiny silver ornaments balances the mantel and the "peace" sign is also actually a glittery ornament. 


Her slim-style Christmas tree is filled with some of our family keepsakes collected and enjoyed over the years.


  'Tis the season to sparkle!
