I haven’t decorated much of my house yet. I have been waiting for my mom because she will bring some things to put on the walls and I decided to leave everything empty until all the paintings get here. But my friend Katie posted some Christmas presents on her blog the other day and I couldn’t resist buying some for our house. I had to get this amazing wreath and I cannot tell you how beautiful it looks in person.

I have a thing for birds’ nests. I’ve always loved seeing others’ photos with nests in them and so when I saw this garland and the nest in the first photo, I didn’t even think. I bought them with love and adore them. The long tree in this photo was the only item that didn’t really turn out the way I’d hoped. It’s too tall. But I still have plans for it. I plan to get a wreath for it to sit in and I plan to dangle some beautiful things from it instead of using the candles. Let’s see how it turns out.

And I bought these little runners for the table. A little bit of color. Love them, too.

In the end, I am glad I got them all. They were each on sale for 60-70% off and they make me happy. What more can a girl ask for?
