Christmas Mantles

 

TGIF Friends!
Today I have not one, but two
fireplace mantles to show you 
decorated for Christmas.



Our living room one.




Now for our new one.







This one a more Colonial look.

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!
Janice

  1. 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.

  3. The 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.

  7. Aaaagh - 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.
    Your mantles look great!

  8. Everything looks very festive. Who are the people in the paintings? Family?
    Covid 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.
