It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas...

Around 

"My Red Saltbox"

Well "hello" to everyone! It's been awhile since I have updated this blog.

 ***hanging head in shame***

Good intentions and all but my scrapbooking life and that other BLOG and ETSY shop of mine keep getting in the way!

Enough on that. Let's take a peek at some of my Christmas decorating for 2013. I have lots more photos to share over the next few days but we will start with these...K?

~Welcome~

Come on in...

It's been out with the old and in with the new here at MRS.  The skates on my front door were ones I had used indoors for a few years. This year I picked up a fresh wreath and moved the skates outside. Same with the "Quaker Oats" box. I've had that box for about 18 years. I purchased it in Vermont that many years ago. This year it decided it needed to be outside with pine and berries tucked inside it!

This is a peek at the inside of the front door. The box is filled with fresh greens and little prim snowman.

My dining room table... I filled a bowl with fresh fruit and greens. Lucky for me I live in the woods and just need to go outside with my trusty pruning clippers to get my greens. 

I used an antique sifter over my mantle with a fresh pineapple and greens. I do have some artificial red sprays mixed in along with that artificial wreath on my table.

My real fireplace is in my dining room. I will post more photos in a day or so. In my family room I just have a small electric fireplace. I've got my favorite swan a little green garland. Another antique box on the floor with fresh cut greens. This room also holds my large tree which I post photos of soon. You will have to keep visiting me to see it! ;)

Over the years I have scaled my style down and back on my Christmas Decor. I'm liking a more primitive simple look with fresh greens and natural elements. Here is a wooden bowl in my kitchen.

This is a silver collection I have in my dining room. Just some candied berries tucked in a coffee pot.

A peek at my pewter collection. More of the same type of berries tucked in.

Downstairs in our "media room" is where I keep my small primitive tree. This one is filled with snowmen and my kids treasured handmade ornaments.

Mr. Snowman hiding out under the tree.

A glimpse at my kitchen table. A pewter bowl with pomegranates, a wreath and some berry candle wraps.

Ok peeps! That's it for today. I'll get some more photos edited to share soon. 

Happy Holidays!
