Good morning! I got a good head start on decorating this year so have most of it finished and it feels SO good. This year I decided on a theme of TREES!!!! We got a new tree so that started it. Today I am sharing my mantle and hearth for this year.
The 2 gold trees on the ends are very slim so perfect for on a mantle.
You all know that I have collected Santas for many years! This one is handmade by a woman in Texas. It is a Polish Father Christmas.
This one is the other Polish Father Christmas. They both have beautiful dolls in their arms that were made in Kracow (it is written on the bottom of the dolls).
At dusk the lights come on. The 2 middle gold trees are lit.
My Santa picture came from Kirklands several years ago.
The garland was purchased 2 years ago on clearance after Christmas. I embellished it with picks, dry magnolia leaves, sticks etc.
I love these flower lights.
The carved lanterns from India stay on the hearth all the time now. I love them here. Gold filagree deer are so pretty. I also have a THING for deer:)
This Asian Santa was given to me by a neighbor who was moving. She knew I would love it!
I have 2 of these green, glass trees. They were purchased at Kirklands several years ago, on clearance for $4.99 each!
I think he has a sweet face.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my mantle and hearth. I am going to be part of our Christmas house tours here in the neighborhood. I enjoy being part of it each year!
Thanks for your visit, it means so much to me.
XO, Pinky

DeleteJust lovely, Pinky! I tried to beam your Santa from above your fireplace and into my home - but it didn't work. He is gorgeous. Also love the flower lights on the garland, so pretty.
