I just added some greenery and bling to my already existing
collection of mercury glass candleholders...
Added some sprigs of red, white and green to an existing french basket...
Added a holiday pillow and some shiny ornaments...
A cloche (thinking of Marty), with a Christmas tree candle and a little glittered deer found at the thrift store....
I'm a lazy decorator. I believe in adding Christmas decor to exisiting decor. A bowl of ornaments, a sprig of greenery and some twinkle lights.......an instant Christmas!
One thing about Christmas decorating....it gives us something to blog about!! Next up will be my Christmas tree. I hope to have it decorated in time for Christmas. Geeze, I've only been working on it for four days now!!!
I'm linking up to Coastal Charm's Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays!

Just gorgeous, Sissie! All the mercury glass is just amazing, the greenery is so lush and beautiful! Such pretty touches, love it!

Cissy, your mantel is beautiful and I agree with your Christmas decorating philosophy. My challenge is that I always want to add just one more thing (to those treasured items that fall into the realm of family and personal tradition). But hey, just one more thing won't hurt, will it? :)
Your home is so lovely and such a great palette to just add the bling! Looking a lot like Christmas!
You may think you're a lazy decorator, but you're a really good one! The mantel is beautiful. I love all your mercury glass candle sticks!
Hugs,
Nancy
Those mercury glass candle holders are stunning and a beautiful backdrop to your holiday decorating. I love incorporating every day decor with my holiday treasures too!
Roselle

Very pretty Sissie, lovin' the cloche! Happy decorating:@)
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! Might have to steal your idea as my mantel remains undone as of today. If you get a chance, stop by my blog....I'm going to give away one of my BOTTLE BRUSH TREES that I made this weekend.
Hugs to you,
Amy
Very lovely. I purchased a couple of those candlesticks at Home Goods the other day. Need to keep a look out for more!
Oh Sissie, your mantle is just gorgeous... I love the mercury glass, it's so elegant!!! I was planning on decorating some today but it didn't happen, maybe tomorrow!

Sissie I love all of your beautiful Christmas decor! I can't wait to see your tree, if it's anything like your mantle I know it will be wonderful!
Kat :)
I had to make my heart be still when I saw all of that mercury glass! What a great collection! And how pretty your mantel looks. I, too, use much of my regular decor that I can't bear to put away and that lends itself to the season. Less to put away!!
Have a great week!
XO,
Jane

I like your thinking, Sissie! After pulling everything out this year, I'm thinking of going simpler next year. Love how everything looks with your Christmas decor additions to your existing decor. Sometimes just a little bit does it!
Sissie, Your mantel is gorgeous...love all the mercury glass! I am a little envious of your mantel right now. I guess you read all about my mercury glass shattered everywhere.

Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Everything is looking beautiful. It's been way way too long since I stopped by! I'm a lazy decorator this year also. No use stressing. And won't it be much much easier to put it all away!
It looks just lovely Sissie- your mantel piece speaks now CHRISTMAS and only with a few added beautifull things--I love doing that ,too
your basket is so wonderfull ,as well.
Love and happy monday.
Dorthe
I adore your mercury glass candle sticks anyway, but the greenery sets them off so well! It makes them POP even more.
I'll pay your airfare if you come and help me decorate my home...and I don't mean holiday decor, either...I mean every day decor. :)
Have I mentioned "shiny" is my signature color? Love the mantel!
Debbie
Loving your sparkly mantel! Merry and Bright done just right!!
Sissie that mantel is beautiful!I love how fresh and sparkly it looks. I'd love to see how you do your bookcases on the sides. I have that feature in my living room and it takes just as much effort to coordinate them or the whole thing looks not as great. I used to have mine filled with books, but they can look too heavy. Now have been playing around with it as display space....what about you?
Simple and elegant.Love the ease of it.Warm Blessings!~Amy
Your decor is always so pretty and your mantel is stunning. of course I LOVE your cloche. So pretty. Hugs, Marty
Sissie, what a beautiful collection of mercury glass you have! Gorgeous display on your mantel, you must just love it all.
Ahhahahhahahahh I'm a lazy decorator too most generally. But...I needed to do some deep cleaning and dusting so I figured THIS YEAR I'd change things up.
Everything is gorgeous as usual my friend. Simply amazing. You are incredibly gifted by the most high~
xoRebecca
Sissie you never fail to create magic. Just beautiful..xx
It is so beautiful! You should print off your photos and use them for cards..and send them to people.
Oh Sissie, this is gorgeous. I love love all your candleholders. I must start my decorating soon now. Have a great week,
Love your mantle Sissie, I am SO mantle challenged, don't know why it never seems quite right! I did just add two mecury glass candle holders and I'm liking that a lot, nice bit of bling!
I gotta say your greenery story tops mine, never had a tree come down in the lot next door!! Enjoy the bounty and pine cones:-)
Tracey

Hi Sissie, I'm so glad I stopped in. Your decor is so lovely, it looks both vintage and fresh at the same time.
I love that you have DONUTS listed first on the THINGS I LOVE list. hahah....me, too, Sissie.
Your mantel is just beautiful. I want some of those beautiful candlesticks. Just about the time I start wanting something, it goes out of style and something else is hot. me oh my... I do have a hard time 'keeping up.'
Your mantel is so elegantly beautiful. I'm never that formal as our house just doesn't have a formal inch in it, but I do so admire your loveliness!
Ooohh~la~la~ Sissie!
You've out done yourself this is so beautiful! I love the lazy way you decorate. It's perfect!
