I love decorating our house for Christmas. We start the day after Thanksgiving and it always puts me in the holiday spirit! Now if only it would motivate me to finish my Christmas shopping then we’d be in business.
Today I’m linking up with A Thoughtful Place to share my holiday vignettes! The cake plates, platter, and scale are always there…I just added some holiday cheer.
This is on display on the bookcase in our dining room. I just love these mercury glass Christmas trees that I got a few years ago at an after Christmas sale. I never pay full price for Christmas decor. My secret to building up a good supply of decorations: Target on December 26th. Everything is 50% off….make sure you go early to beat the rush. My mom and I go every year and it is always tons of fun!
This second display is in our living room. I swapped out all of our regular photos with the Christmas cards we’ve used each year since we’ve been married.
Sneak peak of our card for this year. LOVE it.
2008 card on the bottom left, 2009 in the middle, and last year on the right. I love adding to this collection. And see that reindeer on the bottom? I’ve had her since I was little….Wrigley thinks she’s his toy so she’ll probably be relocated somewhere out of his reach!
Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to check out all of the other Christmas vignettes!
Can you come decorate my house for me? You are so talented!
love, love, LOVE your home! I bet Santa gets excited to come to your house! I love that you frame your xmas cards…I need to remember to do that!
Your house is always beautiful but your Christmas decorations are stunning!! I love love the Christmas cards all displayed!
I love your Christmas decorations! Very chic! xo
I love the decor! And, that's such a cute idea to swap out photos with your christmas cards from each year!
Ok this is my 3rd time posting this comment (apparently I can't remember my password lol)
Anywho-your house…SIGH. Looks like FREAKING Pottery Barn and I adore it! How are you SO cute and creative all the time?! Something tells me Pinterest has a little something to do with this…no?
ALso-your framed cards from previous years is THE best idea everrr!! I have to start doing this ASAP! Do y'all do a photoshoot every year right before the holidays? I might have to steal this idea too. (Beau is going to hate me but eh-oh well!)
I have an idea. How 'bout you move to Texas so we can be BFFs already? Pretty sure our husbands would get along just great! (I mean, your husband looks like a nice guy and all…) Wrigley would fit right in and Beau could even take him hunting! Bonus: you could decorate my house from top to bottom…deal?! (Do you like how I just made all this up?)
Anywho-stop being so cute. Ok-don't.
Hope your day is as beautiful as your hair! (Yes-I really said that…) 😉 xoxo
I love all of your decorations!! What a great idea framing every card you guys have made 🙂 And I love how you incorporated a bowl of baseballs into your decor 🙂 Come decorate my house now?? Please! haha
Oh my goodness! This looks amazing! I love how you frame your card each year…that is such a great idea…totally stealing it! 😉 And the baseballs with the little red ornaments is a wonderful touch! Great job and so glad you linked up!! xo
Wow so very pretty! I love all the Christmas trees on your shelf and the framed photos too!
Gorgeous decorations, I love the idea with past Christmas Cards in the frames!

i LOVE your holiday decor. it looks amazing (as usual!), and i love the sneak peak of your christmas card this year 🙂

You really need to stop with cuteness overload on the house, christmas cards, decorations, cake plates…oh MY!!! I want it all!
it looks perfect and so festive. I want your house!
Oh my gosh, I really really LOVE the idea of framing your previous Christmas cards. I totally just pinned it on Pinterest 🙂
I love the idea of swapping pictures with your cards! I am totally doing that! You are just great! Happy December!
OH I LOVE THIS! 🙂 I love that you framed your past Christmas cards. SUCH A GENIUS IDEA! 🙂
your decorations are to die for! (as always) love your house!
Aw, I love how you frame your Christmas cards! I may have to steal that idea! Except this year I bought cards, and sent all of them out already! Whoops!
I'm loving all of your Christmas decor! We did the same Christmas card from Shutterfly:)
I really love the collection of baseballs and how well they work into your scheme! I'll definitely be stealing your idea of framing the family Christmas card each year too 🙂
Loving so many things about this post. The bowl full of baseballs. The fact that you framed all of your Christmas cards. All of your decorations (I seriously think I only have like 5 decorations.)
I LOVE the idea of changing out photos with christmas cards from years past… you're so creative, lady! 🙂 And your card this year….FABULOUS! xoxo
