the details …

Though it has been a very busy week for the whole family, I managed to shoot just a few of the details that make Christmas special for us.  Since my dining room walls are a soft sage green, I decided to do the whole room with green, white and silver accents.   Set off by a white tablecloth and candles and fresh greens on the corner hutch, the room looked so pretty and bright.  

We’ve gotten more than twice these cards since they’ve arrived, so we have a second card display now.  I love getting Christmas greetings from friends and family.  Maybe you can spot your card in the mix?

 These are the sweet houses that I won last year from Heather Bullard.  Aren’t they adorable? 

It may seem strange to hang the Christmas stockings from a window, but they really work in that room, so we went with it.  It seems no matter how heavy the stocking holders we got, we always ended up with something tipping over.  

 

The living room and tree have an overlaying them of fruits, flowers and butterflies.   Here are some of them, as well as some favorite ornaments. 

Last but not least, our angel topping the tree.  We’ve had her at the top of the tree since our first married Christmas, and I really love her.   She was a present from my dad, who wanted me to choose a light up star, (he tried to talk me into it for over an hour) but let me have what I really wanted instead. 

That’s all for now – if I posted all of our Christmas details, we’d probably be here until next Christmas!  I hope you’re all ready and relaxing as we come into the final stretch.  
Best,
Stephanie
