busy, busy, holiday fun!

In the spirit of "how did I get this busy?" with holiday class parties x3, scurrying about to help Santa, prepping for our own adult cocktail party and pending arrival of older son and wonderful daughter-in-law for the week; here are some of my favorite images from my house this season! Enjoy!

My favorite local nursery, Main Street is so amazing!

My foyer with all the mantle goodies from Pottery Barn was a winter wonderland.

I found these great mercury glass garland lights from Carmel Bay Co. and loved them.

We even decked out the library with our special ornaments from years past.

Christmas morning and the kiddies have laid waste to their goodies!

The day after, starting the clean-up.

A closer view of the amazing mantle piece that Main Street Nursery made for us this year.

And the matching wreath for the library to accompany the mantle piece.

A very cute, fresh swag to decorate the tall case clock.

A night-time view of the foyer table with everything lit up. 

A pair of cute winter arrangements for our family room which has very earthy tones. Perfect.

Sorry, so many of the shots are blurry and not very good.  But, prior to now, all of my posts have been made with my iPhone camera.  But, since Santa was so wonderful this year and brought us a new Canon EOS Rebel camera, going forward all of my posts will include images from my new camera.  Let's hope I can learn how to use it quickly!
