Something New on the Mantel


The living room pink fireplace mantel has a new look this Christmas.



Several years ago at a yard sale, I bought a box of little ceramic buildings but never used them.



This was the year they came out of their box in the attic.

A mini-village amid faux greens and white lights now line the mantel.


There are a few tiny figures there, too.



It's not extravagant, by any means, but it's a cute "walk" through a town-of-sorts at Christmas time.


Here is a peek at our pink and gold Christmas tree:



DO YOU CHANGE DECOR FROM YEAR TO YEAR OR STICK WITH EVERYTHING FAMILIAR?

I don't have a mantel on my fireplace. I use the same decorations every year. So pretty to see yours.

My friend used to change her tree decor each year. Rose once had a pink and gold tree, and your beauty reminds me of my dear, late friend. Merry Christmas. Stop by and see my HONEY.

I love your village! It suits your mantel perfectly. And your tree is sooooo pretty. I used to use the same decorations but then last year I decided to just put out what I absolutely loved and this year I put items in new places and it felt great. Merry Christmas! :) Kit

Your pink and gold tree looks so pretty through the window, Susan. I usually put out Christmas stuff from the past, and I'll buy a few new things when I'm out and they say "take me home" haha. Your home looks so lovely for the holidays.
