Slowly but surely we are dragging decorations up from the dungeon. My sister gave me this little wreath last year. She found it at the dollar store. I cut some fresh greens from the woods and tucked them into this artificial wreath for the front door.This is a vintage childrens shovel that I decked out with greens and polka dot ribbon. Horrible picture...I know!! I'm thinkin my camera is on its last leg.
Normally I have this old junky sled on the front porch, but I thought I would try out a new spot this year.
The kids helped me load up on fresh pine and rose hips to tuck into the window boxes. I put lights on them this year to, so they look so pretty at night.
Here's a close up of the dollar store wreath. Pretty cute I think...especially for a buck!!
This is a cookie jar I picked up on clearance a few years ago.
The mantel is work in progress.
Here is my Hobby Lobby reindeer. He has taken much abuse over the years and can barely sit up straight. I had to lean him up against the bricks to keep him steady.
That's it for now folks. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are recouping with a quiet Sunday at home today. It has been a crazy couple of months for us. Our house is up for sale and we have had an interested couple that just can't seem to make up their minds. It can be an emotional process, especially since we have found an old farm that we are crazy about!!
I suppose if it's meant to be it will happen.....

Love all the greenery! Looks beautiful!
Oh everything looks so wonderful around your home! I love your front door wreath, and your mantel is dreamy! I love it! :) Oh, and your window box arrangement, too!
Is the last picture the house you want to buy? It is lovely! :) Okay, and I hope you don't mind buy would you mind telling me what color and brand of paint you used in your living room (where the mantel is)? I am wanting to repaint my living room...looking at colors such as yellow, brown-ish shades, and whites...this bright green we have now is pretty but so hard to find things to go with it, such as curtains! :)
I hope you are having a good week! :) Sorry I'm leaving you a novel to read here!
Jen how pretty it all looks at your home! I really love the wreath and red stars.
~Beautiful job!
Hey again Jen,
Just another quick question~ is that Valspar from Lowe's? I am going to definitely check out your color! I am so excited to repaint in our living room the day after New Year's! I wish I had time to do it before we get the tree, but with this kitchen, it just isn't going to happen! :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
