Blissful simplicity.......


An understated,natural Christmas........


means you can start early....



and add touches to every room in the house......



without spending anything at all & you can enjoy it longer.....



no glitz no glam here......and I wouldn't have it any other way.






Have a lovely day.....think I am going to go do a Christmas mantle.....you'll be sick of me in no time......x0x0

    gorgeous. gorgeous. gorgeous. I love the natural hints of winter and Christmas. I'm not doing any glitz and glam either. In fact, I donated all my past decorations etc. last week to the gw.
    It looks so cozy and pretty around your home already! You know I can't wait to see the mantle redo. :)
    Happy Holidays...crazy isn't it!
    Hope you're well ~

    I am loving simple, white, natural. That is what I did a post on today, minus the natural, that is. We mainly have deciduous trees around us, so I can't do the natural until the Christmas tree lots start up. Then I am hoping I can beg some scraps off of somebody.;)
    Hugs, Cindy

    I love this vignette, Chrissy! The simple touches of greenery are so serene... sigh... I love the way you play darks against lights, too... just gorgeous!
    And, I'll never get sick of seeing what you're up to my friend!
    Have a happy week!

    Oh this is so very Franske Stemninger and I LOOOOVE it!! Everything is paired and balanced beautifully. Really beautiful, Chrissy. I want to thank you for leaving me just about the most heart warming, compassionate blog comment I've ever received! xoxo! I just love opening up my blog and see that you've posted some new decoration!! And I've heard of Avene skin products - I've ordered samples and they are nice! I've just started using the Aveeno skin cream with the Shitaki Mushroom extract in it and I'm happy with it... my skin has always been so sensitive. Your posts are a gift, too!

    It is blissful indeed! I love the natural look.I am wanting to go more natural as well but I still have all my'gaudy' stuff too so as usual it will be a hodge podge.

    p.s. I just ordered my JDL linens!!! My BIL is not going to Europe now until Jan or Feb, so I am having my order shipped to my best friend's SIL in Austria and she will then turn it around and send it to me...sheesh...let's hope it all goes off without a hitch!
