I used to dream of having a mantel to decorate people! Dream I tell you!! But I have been in this house for about 5 years now and it is the center of all decorating dillemas for me- so much so that I have taken pictures and texted them to my friend in Kansas to try to obtain advice and help!
So, without further ado… the second reveal in this season’s Holiday Decorating series….
And my boys love this Santa- he is made of felt and they love dragging the poor guy all around the house with them- once again I try to make sure there are certain things that are totally just for them to mess with so they don’t feel like the house is untouchable at the holidays;)
And there you have it! Hope your houses are being filled with good cheer!

I *love* how it came out – and I totally adore your Noel sign!
I’m pretty convinced that everything you touch comes out looking great, so you get no sympathy from me! 😉
Love everything, of course, but especially was drawn to the sign behind the pewter manger scene. Think I’ll adopt it for my Christmas sentiment this year: “Be filled with wonder, be touched by peace.”
Ooh, I want to reach right in and steal that mercury glass bird! Of course, I would never steal anything so you’re safe! Visiting from Ten June.
I love it!
Beautiful!
I laughed out loud when I read this – I am having the same problem with my mantle! We just moved into our house in January and I finally have the mantle I always dreamed of…..but it drives me bonkers!! I can never figure out how to arrange things…grrr. Yours looks great though and I LOVE the NOEL sign – I will have to try that!
I featured your mantel today!
