Creating a Cozy Christmas



To get ready to celebrate Christmas, I have done a little decoration shopping!

I fell in love with all the soft, wool ornaments and decorations from West Elm.

So, I placed an order last week and recently received my package. I just had to have this sweet woolen bird ornament. I'm so drawn to the cozy, creamy wool decorations.




I got a pair of cream wool Christmas stockings and had them personalized with my kids names. The flax-colored linen pointsettas will go along nicely with my silver vintage mercury glass ornament collection to create balanced softness and glitz.





I started decorating the tree!

I'm just getting started and am expecting another small West Elm box. ;)

I'll be adding their wool snowflakes to what I already have here.




I filled my old chip wood basket with extra trees branches and gathered pinecones. For a finishing touch, I added a white bell.

My tree skirt was a post Christmas sale find from Marshalls. I am hoping to find an all cream one after Christmas this year. I do love the red and white Swedish look, too. :)




I hope you are having fun treasuring the season, too. :)

I wish much peace and serenity to you in Advent.

And wishes for a pleasant weekend!
