Hello!

I am finally going to share some images of what little Christmas decorating I was able to get done this year....

We usually only decorate the living rooms and the dining room....

This year I barely got one room decorated....

We got our tree from Aimee Peterson, who

owns a shop called the Antique Gardener.

Aimee invited us to her parents' Christmas tree farm this year, they have the prettiest tree farm!

The kids and I got to pick out our tree....It reminded me of when we were kids...

We would always cut our own tree down, and a lot of times would have a Charlie Brown tree that we covered with a lot of tinsel...

I shot the above image of Emma, Aimee's daughter, while we were there...

Thank you Aimee!

I have posted about Aimee's shop before on my blog.....

We picked out a beautiful White Fir Tree.....

We had intended to decorate it : )....

However we ended up leaving the tree bare....

We wrapped an antique french ticking duvet around the tree to cover the tree stand....

I thought the tree did look pretty just left natural.....

My sister Liz, made this stocking from a scrap piece of antique french linen and a grain sack scrap.....

I will have some of these available in my shop

I hung my wreath from an antique french door.

I hung it using dutch butcher twine, and then tied the ribbon at the bottom of the wreath.....

Lately I have become obsessed with vintage french cheese boards....

I added a red striped European grain sack to the top of the table and then added the cheese board....

My son, Trent, sprinkled juniper berries on top of the cheese board....

I kind of got carried away this year with throwing juniper berries around the house....

They smell so good....

I added some pears, hazelnuts, and juniper berries to my mantle.....

I made the kids stockings the week before Christmas...

I really liked the one my sister made, so I made some more like it...

The grain sack cuffs remind me of candy canes ; )

The kids loved their new stockings....

The pears help add a pop of color to my mantle....

I had received a beautiful gift from KT Merry, I displayed her beautiful Christmas card on my mantle and her box of bath salts on my stool.....I also tied a red and white ribbon around a pair of pillow slips made from antique french linen and topped the box with a bundle of mistletoe made from wool felt....
