Christmas mantel 2011...

Hi everyone,
I hope you're all enjoying the weekend!
I just finished my mantel and added some new stockings this year.




The stockings are made from a linen/cotton blend and I personalized each one with different embellishments.
It's funny how each stocking coordinates with each personality!




I did my mantel with a mixture of mercury glass, birch and pinecones this year.




The stockings are also personalized with these easy to do stick on letters.


















Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for my Christmas house tour.

    So pretty! I love your stockings, and the beautiful arrangements on either side of the fireplace on the floor. They add just the right mix of rustic romance.

    It is gorgeous! The stockings are awesome-I have the same letter embellishments that I bought, without a project in mind. I may just need to add them to our stockings, too =)

    Thank you for visiting and for following.

    I love these stalkings and how you personalized them for
    each person in your family.

    I would love to know where they sell those letters.

    Do you remember the vendor?
