Christmas Mantel 2013

Merry Christmas! Doesn't it just seem like yesterday we were packing up our Christmas decor and getting ready for spring? Time once again, had slipped right by us!

This year I decided again to keep my mantel simple and clean. If you missed last year's mantel you can read about it here.

I had to throw in my Santa boot snack bowls. Not sure what I'm going to do with them yet. I think I'm going to plant a little boxwood in one and leave snacks in the other.

I threw in a few faux pomegranates to add a little color.

I purchased these JOY letters at Target after Christmas last year. They were all different colors, I didn't care for them, so I opted to paint them "cherry red".
