Our Christmas Mantel
Well, here she is in all her fresh cut greenery glory, Our Christmas Mantel. This is the very first time I have never used bright colors for our mantel. Which, to be honest seems a little odd for me. I love color. But this year, I want to focus on everything being fresh and simple….
