Christmas Mantle

I love Christmas almost as much as I love Halloween.  Everything about Christmas makes me so happy.  My Glee Christmas CD blaring in the car, the fun holiday movies, and ALL the candies and treats.
It was a sad day when I opened all of my Christmas decor to find it a little lacking this year.  And even sadder when I realized that there was no Tai Pan, Roberts, or Quilted Bear that I could run to.  Not a whole lot to work with here in Wyoming.  Also not a whole lot to work with, with that darn hole above my fireplace.  Curse you wasted space!
I like to keep my decorating simple and themed.  My Christmas decor is definitely vintage rustic.  I love the muted colors.
The garland is from Roberts.  I bought it for super cheap after Christmas.  Best time to shop for next year.  The big sign is also from Roberts.  So sad that they are going out of business.  The fun stars are from this nursery in Prosser.  I bought them after Christmas for about $2 a piece.  My mom bought me the cute tin tree and the nativity plaque.

The bird cage is from Tai Pan and was only $18 full price.  I use it all year.  The little frame is also from Tai Pan.  They have a variety of them for every holiday.  They cost about $3 each.  The sled is from the Christmas store at Garner Village.  It was one of those items that was coming home with me no matter the cost.  Thankfully it was only $10.
My most recent find is something I have been looking for.  I only wish it was bigger.  I just bought it at HL the other day for only $3.  I threw in some pine branches and red berries, also from HL.

Once I find some giant piece to hide the ridiculous hole I will be 100% satisfied with mantle.  Until then.
