In the kitchen, I like to throw a garland up on top of the cabinets. Instantly festive and it doesn’t get in the way of food prep. I also like to put a centerpiece on the kitchen table. This year, it is a bowl of ornaments from my grandmother’s attic.

This game from Johnson is soo cute. You make a virtual snow globe and then shake it up and watch the virtual snow fall on your virtual scene.

I’ve been doing a bit of decorating this weekend and finally got around to the fireplace mantel. This year, Putz houses are still hot, especially if you refurbish them a la Inspire Company. If I already wasn’t blessed with several shabby Putz houses to work with, I would have purchased one of her adorable little frosted cottages! Little cone trees are also popular. I glued a zillion red buttons on mine and now have 4 red buttons to my name. I’m sure I will be tearing the button boxes apart looking for more as I work on Valentine’s projects. These adorable ceramic trees are also getting popular again. Mine is an original from an elderly family member.
How are you decorating your mantel this year?
