Christmas Mantel 2012

Welsh Dresser Mantel 

Something I look forward to each year, dressing my welsh 'mantel'. Shopped the house; angel collection, favorite fragile decorations, bag of cones, vintage red grain trailer, two pretty doilies, grapevine wreath, old red cover books, little red bench, silverplate candle holders, goblet & water jug, red wooden tote with railroad spikes, and  'Merry Christmas' Scrabble tiles. 

Picked up the J O Y banner at the OldeFarmhouseMarket in early December (yes it called my name) - only new addition this year. You can just see the FAMILY letters .

Tweaked and done.
