Front door swag made out of branches from our old Christmas tree!


Friends come and go through the back door at our house. Welcome!

Stockings hung with care? Check.

A little vignette in the guest bath

Bronze nativity set from West Africa. Ginny absconded with the ox and donkey.

Dining table centerpiece

My great grandmother's dough cupboard

I replaced the floral teacups that are usually stored here with Christmas cups.

Topper from our old tree. It was too dinky for our new tree, so I pulled off the bottom and hung it on a ribbon instead.


Atop the bookshelf in the living room.

Our new tree. It's my first pre-lit tree and I L-O-V-E it. Lots of handmade decorations this year. Toilet paper roll stars and garland. Hand-knit garland. Egg carton flowers. Hand-sewn birds. I used a big gold gift bow for a topper.

(Fake) evergreen garland on the upper landing.

Magazine Christmas tree, a la
Martha. Easy (and kind of addictive) to make.

Ginny insisted on posing Big Lamb for this one.
