Mantles at Christmas

Click on pictures to enlarge.

Christmas around the house includes our four mantles.

This is the kitchen where we spend much of our time.

The old cupboard has a tree my daughter made

for me at least a decade age; a real treasure. It is a good

place for the handmade sheep to graze.

Candles in the entry.

The dining room mantle has the traditional southern

magnolia and sugared fruit, layed below a primitive winter print.

A group of bottle brush trees in the dining room.

Poinsettias in the foyer.

The Al and Martha room mantle.

The master bedroom mantle with portrait I did of our

horse Blue in oils.

Vintage nativity in the living room

Storing gifts in the living room awaiting the grandchildren.

Yellowware and ironstone on the livingroom shelves.

A touch of Christmas on the sunporch piesafe.

Merry Christmas

From our house to yours.

May you celebrate Jesus,

the true reason for the season.

God bless you!
