@ECBG ,   do you know yet how will you display your beautiful Christmas deer?  He is so majestic.

I think pretty much like last year,; hopefully I can pick up dried baby's breath.

The biggest chg will be the handmade Santa on the mantle.  I purposely bought just over a dozen of those wonderful red berry stems from Michaelsthey were so good!  I think the mantle will be a lot of berries and greenery from Balsam Hill from their wonderful limb kit.

 

I won't be tearing apart this arrangement as I previously thought. I don't think I would like it any better; (I did move one cream flower to the left) everything is where I want it.

Lovely, @ECBG !   Your colors are beautiful, and all your arrangements with the berries and branches will be like a walk in a winter forest.  I love that evoking of the outdoors at Christmas, with your characteristic touch of magic...

Sorry.  I thought I put this up yesterday.  

 

Those are berry picks.  Depending on the berries left from the mantle, I may change out these berry picks.  I do have more pine cones after I finish with my Thanksgiving table scape.

I hope I can find dried baby's breath.  I don't like the faux baby's breath at all!

 

It would be so much fun if we could just run across the yard!!!Smiley Happy

I'm so glad you posted your gorgeous deer, @ECBG !   I love him.  I'm posting a few views of Carolyne Roehm's Christmas tables, and her deer remind me of your beauty!

He'll be in the dining room; he's too wide for the mantle and the hand made Santa goes there better.

Dining room is a great setting for your deer, so he can get his maximum due. 

 

Ha, ha, @ECBG ,  I always have disasters, far bigger than your evaporated milk forgetfulness.  This Thanksgiving is going to be higgledy-piggledy for us, far from perfect, for a variety of reasons.  But we struggle on...  I'm not even making a pumpkin pie-- my store baked one sits in the fridge as we speak...
