I love my house at Christmas time…don’t you?

I love the candles with holiday scents…

The evergreen wreath on the inside of my front door makes the whole room smell nice.

Thanks Danice from Homespun Hannah’s Blog for this sweet handmade Christmas tree ornament and for the pretty cards you sent! I hung it with some vintage Christmas bells in the foyer.

Don’t you love all of the colors and scents of this season of JOY and this precious mouse?

ENJOY!

I like that door hanger with all the bells! I just bought a peppermint candle and it quickly became the family favorite.

Cranberry Morning said...

Diane, that door hanger is perfect with the bells! (I have a bells strip next to the back door, which the dogs ring when they want to go out.) :-)

Have a happy day. Sweet little vignettes at your house!

Catherine Holman said...

I do love the scent of fresh evergreen, cinnamon, fresh baked cookies, etc. We should do this year round if it makes us this happy! What a sweet mouse!

I do love the colors and scents, but I have to say, living in the Pacific Northwest, our outdoors always smells like Christmas with the evergreens! I love the reindeer, how sweet a display, XOXO

Your Christmas decorations are all so darling, Diane! I love Santa kissing Mrs Cluse in your blog header photo. My decorations are all packed away fro our move and I miss them. It will be a surprise when I re-open those boxes next year and see them all again!

Have an enjoyable weekend!
