Hello my friends! I don’t have a fireplace mantel but I do have a mantel shelf in my family room and I decorate it as if I had one for Christmas.
It has garland, lights, pinecones, berries, red Christmas balls and burlap bows.
I even have room to place one of my Old World Santas and two large candle holders.
I love this time of year! The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is turn on my Christmas tree and mantel shelf lights. For the most part they stay on the whole day.
More Christmas to come. I just need to hire someone to come take my pictures and write my blog posts for me….just kidding! Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by. Your sweet comments are always appreciated.

Your tree and mantel shelf are gorgeous, Gail! If my tree looked like that I'd probably have the lights on all day, too! : ) What a great picture that last one makes ~ it could be a Christmas card.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as usual!!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you deccorated your shelf. That beautiful clock is counting down the time until Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI DON'T HAVE A MANTLE EITHER. BUT I DO HAVE A SHELF THAT RUNS AROUND THE PERIMETER OF OUR FAMILY ROOM. YOUR CLOCK AND SHELF ARE BEAUTIFUL.

ReplyDeleteGail; looks fabulous! and thanks for the idea--I don't have a fireplace mantle either--but,just bought a huge, huge mirror with bottom shelf--so maybe I could do this too. Have a great week. Patty
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Gail. That clock sets the perfect tone for the holiday items.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous, Gail! I really love your clock! I always looks great in you mantel-scapes but somehow especially so now!

Hi Gail,
ReplyDeleteYour mantel is beautiful!!! I love it, you are very talented to be able to do all of that. I'm not good with that type, so I stay very simple. YOu have a knack for putting vignettes together so nicely.
Your tree is beautiful, too!
Hugs, Cindy
Hi Gail! This is so beautiful! The garland and your tree are both gorgeous.
