I've been wanting to get started on a few Christmas decor projects,
and just couldn't wait any longer to show my progress
on the Living Room mantle.
I found these faux amaryllis stems this last week
and put them in my Guy Wolff Pottery that I found last year
at Restoration Hardware when they were on sale for 75% off.
The pots were a natural clay color and I painted them white.
(surprised?)
Love how they look there on the book bundles.
Add a few mercury glass votive cups...
some greenery...
and this precious vintage print of Madonna and Child.
I'm just getting started.
Hope you had a wonderful weekend,
Remember, you have until Monday evening at midnight
to enter the
All Things French Give Away...

It's beautiful, Debra!
The Madonna and child is so subtle and sweet on your mantle.
Beautiful! I love the Madonna & Child print, especially against the mirror with the reflection from the lovely candles.

Your vintage print is the expression of the Nativity that stays with me year after year! Lovely mantle! Meaningful message!

It's beautiful Debra. So magical with the subdued lighting.
Beautiful, I love the oval with the blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. FABBY
So pretty. I was in Raleigh (NC) last week, and I saw the most beautiful religious print...made me think of you. Makes me wish I had bought it and mailed it to you, but I wasn't sure if you collected just Madonna/Jesus or more.
What a beautiful grouping celebrating the reason for this wonderful holiday. I love the vintage picture of the Madonna and Child, the lamps, the candles...it all goes together so well. Nicely done!
Debra, your mantel is gorgeous in its own right, but the added details are the icing on the cake.
Love the reflection of the chandelier ~ PeRfeCt!*!*!
