Today I have not one, but two
fireplace mantles to show you
decorated for Christmas.
This one a more Colonial look.
Our living room one.
Now for our new one.
In other news,
my mom came yesterday.
Tonight is our family Christmas gathering.
Unfortunately my sister will not be joining us.
She came down with covid.
Her son is the one who is coming in from
N Carolina next week... and if my BIL
comes down with it, they may not come in.
I have 4 days of work and then on vacation
until the first of the year.
Looking forward to some more me time.
A BIG thank you to everyone who comments.
I so appreciate each and every one!
Lauren I will get you a pic of that rug when I have time.
Only 10 days until Christmas.
Hope everyone is ready for it....
Mantle Blessings To All!

Heck woman, it is a full time job just changing out your 'scapes', lol. Are those pheasant feathers? Quite lovely decorations. Enjoy your celebration with your mom and your soon to happen holiday vacation.
ReplyDeleteBoth your mantels are lovely...but your new colonial one is show-stopping. You nailed that look perfectly. Enjoy your Christmas celebration...Hopefully COVID won't interfere with the rest of the group coming. ~Robin~
ReplyDeleteThe countdown is on - yay to ME time! You enjoy every minute, it's important to take time for some quiet reflection and rest. LOVE the mantels - as always, what talent you have. Sorry to hear about COVID - we also had again a few weeks ago, this time it really make me tired - hoping everyone bounces back quickly so they can enjoy the holidays.
ReplyDeletePretty mantels. Sorry to hear your sister has covid. Sure hope she recovers quickly.
ReplyDeleteBoth mantles look great! I love the simplicity of the one in the living room.
ReplyDeleteI hope your sister is doing well and your brother-in-law stays healthy.
Happy you will have a nice long work break during the Christmas season. Enjoy your "me" time.
Hi Janice! I'm sorry about your sister - I hope she recovers quickly. Unfortunately, tis the season it seems. Your mantels are so charming. I especially love the feathers. Enjoy your holidays and your nice, long break. Jane
ReplyDeleteAaaagh - I really hate covid! We are having so many patients test positive for it and RSV. Today it was a little lady who turns 92 tomorrow and has family coming in, and now she can't go to her own party. It's sad.
ReplyDeleteYour mantles look great!
Everything looks very festive. Who are the people in the paintings? Family?
ReplyDeleteCovid is a major pain in the butt. So far I haven't heard of anyone coming down with it around here but I am sure it is OUT THERE, lurking in the shadows.
Just lovely as always.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry Covid is running your celebration.

Love both mantles. Wishing you and the family Merry Christmas and blessed new year. I draw my decorating ideas from your photos lol. Thank you
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on both mantel but I also love the colonial look better. I'ms sorry that your Christmas celebrations didn't go as planned because of Covid. Speedy recovery to your sister. My daughter also came down with Covid.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Julia
You are a master -decorator, Janice!
ReplyDeleteHopefully, your sister gets rid of covid soon.
Enjoy your vacation from work!
I hope your family Christmas was lovely. I'm sorry about your sister -- Covid is coming back in force. Too many not being careful, I think. Sending good wishes to you and Bob for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWishing all to get well and stay well!! My friend Bonita has Covid, her fever broke today.
ReplyDeleteHoping we all can stay healthy and enjoy the Christmas week.
Love, Carla
