It's Starting To Look A Lot Like Christmas....

First, sorry for the Thanksgiving post being up on the ole' blog for way too long.

Every morning I would tell myself "you've got to change the blog today."

Every night I would lay my head on my pillow and say "shoot, didn't get to the blog today."

I've been sick.

Littlest dude has been sick.

Lots of volunteering going on.

Big, big Christmas party last night.

But, as my heroine Scarlett said, "Tomorrow is another day."

Today is that tomorrow.

Without further ado some of my Christmas decorations....




Fake wreath with fresh cut cedar, magnolia, and holly branches from the back yard.
(Hubby bolted the monogrammed "S" to the door, "so it would stay put", now it is so much trouble
to remove...easier to try and hide it under the wreath than to remove it.)



 I just love Pansies.  They do very well in our southern winters.  




When you enter our house the first room to your left is the dining room.





More decorations photo's to come over the next week.  Stayed tuned for my favorite, favorite room, the kitchen!  I just love the whimsical and vintage decorations that I've used in that room, love them!!  Hope to have those pictures up on Tuesday.

I'm linking this post up to The Tablescaper's blog party, Seasonal Sundays.  Head on over to view some wonderful Christmas ideas.

Be safe my friends.

Fondly,
Ann

The outside of your house is gorgeous. Love it. Your dining room is stunning. Such beautiful topiaries and I could also see a glimpse of the staircase garland. Fabulous. Everything is just gorgeous. Hugs, Marty

Such pretty decorations. I like how you decorated the table and your nativity scene is so pretty. I really like that wreath hanging on the dining room door too.

Oh! It all looks lovely. I like your use of an indoor wreath and the dining table decorations are wonderful...I find dining tables hard to do for some reason but you have given me some good ideas. Thank you...onward and upward to your kichen.(-:

Mmm, you are in your element now... red and green (and decorating) heaven! It's so nice to see sugared fruit and Della Robbia styling this time of year... both sentimental favorites for me. I understand that The Grinch (Who Stole Christmas) lives in Tampa and is heading your way, Cindy Lou Who. You might wake up and find every decoration (and your beautiful table/chairs) GONE! ;) xoxo
