While growing up our Christmas decorations went up fairly late. I didn't know people actually got in the spirit the day after Thanksgiving until I was an adult. I still don't do that, but now is the time my mind starts "decorating" and soon, all will be put into place and be festive. Since I am still in the "gathering" phase I thought it would be fun to see what is already up for this season.
Southern LivingMagnolia leaves are plenty here in the south...love the creativity of the giant shell with the gold ornaments that compliment the vase beautifully.
Southern LivingSilver is my favorite and I am quite fond of the mercury glass that is so popular now. I have started my own collection to mix in with other silver pieces.
I love these images that Tracery Interiors (visit blog here) posted of some work they have done in Birmingham, AL. Simple but welcoming.
One would not think that in the south there would be so many beautiful evergreens. I enjoy so much going out into my yard and cutting different varieties to bring indoors. Tracery Interiors did such a spectacular job...
Horchow
Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles /Gretchen Edwards Designs I love these white branches adorned with ornaments...makes quite a nice statement.

Country LivingI hope this sweet horse has her coat on! So tell me...what colors are you favoring this season? Do you like a fresh cut tree each year or one that lovingly gets put together each year? In the past we have gone and cut our own tree and when we cannot do that we support those that make a living growing trees. Snow is in the mountains nearby and cold is in the air...time to go make some hot chocolate!
How wonderful, i am getting my tree tomorrow so will post some pics of that :-)

Gorgeous post. I still have 2 boxes of sprayed gold and one in silver of magnolia leaves, they are so amazing to use for decorations!! Love your festive header too!
ReplyDeleteIf only I had a Magnolia tree...it would be plucked bare this time of year. The strong leaves are gorgeous and rich in color, and one whif of those blossoms, takes me to the shade of my Great Grandmother Collier's back porch on Broadway in Lubbock, Texas!
