True to my promise last month when beginning my Blog,
I have been doing
far more Blog Reading than Blogging.
As a result, someone is behind the
curve in a number of areas,
especially laundry, dusting Holiday Decorating.
And the pictures: OH the AGONY. My living room
has lots ofwindows, thus lots a light which is nice
except when it is reflecting
off mirrors, shiny paneled walls, glitter, and even
the limestone floors in part of the room.
Using old elements the Mantel has turned
BERRY GLITZY
Berry Florals
Double sided Burgundy and reflective (of course) Gold Ribbon
And two new Reindeer (50% off from Hobby Lobby)
Candlesticks with Glitter covered Candles
(reflective and standing out like a sore thumb)
Of course it is my thought that all these reflections
may mean that
Santa should bring me a new, more difficult to operate camera!
Or, perhaps I should open my Photoshop program and
learn some helpful techniques.
See the Fall Mantle.
I plan to be a PARTY GIRL this week. Hope you will visit the following gracious ladies’ Blogs.
...until next time, Honey

ReplyDeleteI'm totally bowled over by your outstanding decorations - WOW!!!
I'm still sitting at my sewing machine flat out making little gold and white Christmas decorations for my Christmas tree AND for my daughters tree in France!!!
Sew, sew, sew - I'm wondering where those elves have got to - I thought they were meant to come in overnight and make everything OK!!!!
Love you blog Honey and all that you're doing.

Honey,
ReplyDeleteYour decorated mantel is very elegant. Your entire fireplace is just beautiful.
Your mantel is gorgeous Honey. I have always longed for a brick fireplave with a mantel. Instead we have an not so elegant black woodstove. It does keep us warm and cosy though.

Your mantel looks great! I have several windows in my house as well and taking pictures is difficult sometimes! Try taking photos later in the afternoon, when it's still light outside, but not so bright!
