Although torn by the idea of using natural elements in decorating the mantel, it was screaming for glitz, shades of red and berries. So using things I already owned I went for
Berry Glitzy!
Gold candlesticks with candles wrapped in beaded garlands and gold reindeer stand guard,
while berry bushes and and small sugared fruit swags do a death-defying balancing act.
Intertwined is double-sided velvet/gold ribbon.
Angels on the hearth.
Complete the picture.
Until next time, Honey
