I hope you all had a Joyful, bountiful, and delicious Thanksgiving:))
We are officially in the Christmas season, the season of miracles, and magic.
The season when we all become children in our hearts and believe in a jolly
Saint that brings us toys:))
A season where we reflect on God's greatest gift to us, a baby in a manger.
I remember when my daughter was born. I was sure that for a tiny moment
I heard the heavens open up and the Angels singing and rejoicing.
I knew how the Angels felt on that most holy of nights.
I love Christmas!
I love gardening, and I love flowers, so I couldn't resist a post on garden
inspired Christmas decorations.
I hope you enjoy this first Christmas post.
Bring the garden indoors with fragrant evergreen branches hung on a chandelier and placed in a small birdcage. They are even placed on the back of each chair along with flowers and ribbon. I love this garden inspired decorated room:))
These potted ceder plants are both fragrant and pretty placed on this staircase. I might even say it brings it some joy:)))
Pots of wheat grass (or chives) a clay urn with potted herbs and garden cloches really bring a garden feel to this fireplace mantle.
This side board with a Bay leaf wreath flanked by two bay leaf topiaries and filled with evergreen branches and white candles is all decked out in garden greenery for the season:)) I give it an A+
White roses set in river rocks, trailing ivy and the porcelain birds all make for a winter white garden fantasy tablescapeThis floral arrangement with white Kale (ornamental cabbage) lemon leaf (Salal) and berries looks like it was just picked from the garden:))
Two topiaries joined by a holiday banner and gold ribbon give the aire of an English Country Garden, tea anyone:)))
I Love this urn filled with trailing ivy and wrapped in plaid ribbon. Wouldn't you love getting a present wrapped with moss colored ribbon and fresh amyrillis like the one on the table?

If you live in a cooler climate but still love the idea of a fragrant herb wreath you can order this wreath for $25.00 from stokesfarm.com in New Jersey, and still have fresh herbs on hand, they also herb swags
Simply Beautiful! Love those "Joy" pots! Oh, how I wish I lived in warm climate so that I could have a garden year round! Although, your indoor tips could just get me through!
