Christmas Decor {updated at bottom}

I have not been a good blogger.  I learned something this year.  No matter how organized you are--no matter how early you THINK you are getting your cards out and your shopping done-- December will always be CRAZY busy and you will never have time.  And then, just when all the shopping and wrapping is complete, your husband will leave a list of gift ideas (for him) on the kitchen counter on December 22nd (even though you asked for this over a month ago)!  I am not a December 22nd shopper people!  Seriously, I am a little bit sad.  I tried so hard to get things accomplished (and I did) so that I could just relax with my family and enjoy life and guess what...it is not happening so much. Anyway, I am SO behind in things I want to post about but here is a peek at our decor this year. I have not photographed it all but here is what I have....

Some of my mercury glass collection...



I know mercury glass is all the rage now but I have been collecting it for a very long time.  In fact, it kinda bugs me that it is everywhere now.





Oops... how did "happy" the elf sneak in there? Naughty elf riding the camel in our nativity!!!














one of our giant glittered pinecones:)

I cannot wait to photograph the dining room and table scape for Christmas but I want to wait until I have the fresh flowers for the table. It is still too early for me to buy them. Also, I have some decorations in the kitchen but I did not really photograph it.  Hope y'all are enjoying the last few days before Christmas!

Last week I won an antique German grainsack tree skirt from Kym at A Beautiful Mess on the Willow Decor blog.  It arrived today and I immediately put in on our tree.  LOVE it.  Thank you Kym!!  And thank you Gina for hosting the giveaway.





Did you see that Kate snuck two on her homemade decorations onto our silver and white tree;)
