Miss Heather’s Pretty Little Christmas . . .


Merry Christmas and welcome to Miss Heather’s Pretty Little Christmas Blog Party! Thank you, Miss Heather for hosting this fun event.

Christmas is one of the most romantic times of the year. I love to see how others decorate their beautiful homes. Our Christmas is always a simple one. I hope you enjoy browsing through these vignettes.

I love how the bowl in the background compliments the Christmas colors in our kitchen.

A golden star of Bethlehem hangs from a feather tree.



We don’t have a formal nativity, but I found this pop-up card at an amazing little online shoppe. I love its simplicity.




A beautiful sentiment . . .


I’ve had this sign forever. It’s a lovely little piece by Wendy Addison.


A simple wreath dresses up the armoire.



More Wendy Addison creations. I showed these last year in my Christmas post, but I like them so much I wanted to share them again.



A mixed garland using vintage tinsel, red glass beads and mistletoe hangs in our entry archway. This is a very popular spot in our home with my hubby!



Vintage reflector lights . . . I’ve found that I like using them just like this, displayed in a simple white bowl.



I love French ormolu decorations. I remembered I had these wreaths and wired them onto the frame of this ceiling drum. They add some nice Christmas cheer.

Snowflake candle holders set on a silver tray.



My favorite decorations of the season are live pine boughs, silver and white Christmas ornaments, and my very favorite, clear glass icicles.



We have a Christmas tradition, which you might enjoy. Every year we read O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi. Last year I created an abridged version. If you would like to read it, click here. For More of Miss Heather's Pretty Little Christmas Blog Party click here.

  2. Hi Nancy!
    Your Christmas Party was fabulous! I love everything of course! The ice cycles hanging on the green tree are so lovely. The Gift of the Magi is one of my favorite stories, a story of true Christmas spirit and love for one another. Thank you for sharing your version of it, I'll go check it out right now!

    Merry Christmas Nancy!
    Holiday hugs, Sherry

  3. You have some exquisite Christmas decorations, I love the Wendy Addisons and the french decorations! My mother used to say 'Simplicity is true beauty' I see that you exactly know what she meant. Enjoy these dark and special days before Christmas, and spend a lot of time in your entry archway ;-)

  22. Hi Nancy,

    I'm stopping by because you are the next blog on Heather's great list of ladies featuring their holiday homes. I just love clear crispness of your pictures.

    I think I need to get a better camera. Your decorations are amazing. Just love them. Thank you for sharing your home with all of us.

  23. We are kindred spirits indeed when it comes to favorite Christmas ornaments. My living room tree is all gold, silver, white, and crystal and has lots of crystal icicles!! And live pine, cypress, or magnolia is another favorite. A few years back I decorated with all Leland Cypress and pine, but no time for that this year.

    Blessings,
    Christi
