Start of the Holiday Season

I started off decorating the porch with a group of cedar trees cut from the property, all lit with tiny white lights, then the winds from the gap came in one night and took them all down.  Thought it easier to just light the boxwoods and add to the porch as I go along.
 

                           Inside I worked on the free bottle brush tree, just white lights and vintage red ball ornaments and a vintage tree topper.

                            Pieces of tinsel were still on the tree when I brought it home, so I left them.  

        White, bright and cheerful!

   This week I will be working on decorating and cleaning up the farmhouse for a holiday brunch I will be hosting for some friends. I've decided to post on www.campbluewall.blogspot.com.  It's been a year since my mother's passing, and I feel I'm ready to do a Christmas post because I always liked to refer back to what I did with the tree and wrappings and gifts I sent to family and friends.
