Hello everyone and Merry Almost Christmas!

I love this time of year and I always look forward to making my home as festive and inviting as I possibly can.  Here are some pictures to show you how I decorate for Christmas.

This year I decorated my two sofa tables with Valerie Parr Hill's glitter leaf branches and her sweet little mercury glass birds sprinkled throughout.  I also love to use her Beveled Mirror Centerpieces to add height and interest where I can.

 

On another table in my living room, I display Valerie's Set of 5 letters that spell 'Faith' with figurines from a nativity which I bought a couple of years ago at Q.

  

Our piano has Valerie's glitter leaf garland and this time I added her mercury glass pedestals with Luminara candles to bring a soft glow to that spot.

Our tree is a Bethlehem Lights tree that we we bought at Q last year. We put our ornaments on that we've had for years, but this year, I added Valerie's glitter leaf garlands around the tree. Since the garlands came in sets of two, it wasn't that expensive to use 3 sets in total. I believe it's one of the best decorated trees we've ever done!  Isn't it great to learn great decorating tips from Valerie?!  

This is my table in the entryway and I used Valerie's glitter branches and her birds that you clip on with a large poinsettia in the center.  Underneath, you can see another one of her Beveled Mirror Centerpieces.   

 

Mark decorated his outdoor urns with Valerie's Mercury glass balls, which light up and I think they look great!

Ok - that's it!  I would love to see some photos of your homes all decorated for this wonderful season!

May God's richest blessings be yours,

Mary Beth
