Merry Christmas!


Happy Holidays, everyone! 

Hope you're still here! I haven't been able to post as 
regularly as I've wanted to this past year and as I scroll
back, for the most part, it was about once a month.


  Needless to say, it's been a busy year.
I finally got around to styling our credenza for this 
Christmas. If you'd like to see how it was decorated 
in previous years, have a look here and here. 

 

The mantel, with only one 'shelf', is always a little easier
 to accessorize. If you're curious as to how it looked in 
Christmases past, click here and here. 

 

But, the more, the merrier, no?

 Thanks for visiting, everyone.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! 

xx
Poppy

    I like the festive header.
    I had a look at your past Christmas decorations; the emphasis was on snowmen and Santa.
    Among the decorations of this Christmas, the hanging two socks caught my eye. Beautiful!
    Past and Present decorations - both reflect the significance of Christmas in a lovely way.

    Merry Christmas to you and family!

    I like red and white for Christmas. It looks so fresh and cheerful. Hopefully JD isn't too interested in your decorations. ;)

    I've not been posting as much either and my youngest son who just arrived from the States on Saturday told me that he checks my blog every few weeks and wondered why I wasn't updating it. That means I have to get back on track. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful remainder of the year.

    Hello dear Poppy! However did I miss your Christmas post? Now it is the day after Christmas but I still wish you a very merry Christmas--please do as I do and continue to celebrate it as long as possible.

    I love your beautiful new Winter header with those sweet little trees marching uphill and down, and of course I always look forward to seeing how you've decorated that pretty green credenza. It's quite elegantly precise this year! And I couldn't resist revisiting the past years too, each one lovely.

    It's cold but sunny here in Nashville, Tennessee this morning and will get colder every day leading up to the New Year. I'm putting on a big pot of chili today and will be thinking of my friend from far away who is so close to my heart, wishing her every blessing for the new year soon coming.

    Love to you,
    Dewena
