Christmas Mantel........days gone by

I loved the way I decorated the mantel last year, but I also like to change things up. I wasn't sure what direction I would go until I saw a couple of cute new things in a Christmas shop. So let's take a look.

I found these vintage style figures at a Christmas shop and just had to have them. I just love the vintage scooter and sled and the cute hand sewn clothes on them. They look like they represent the thirties or forties maybe.

I added candle hurricanes and glass candle pillars with red candles for traditional colors. I had the hurricanes from PB and the pillars are new from the PB outlet. Used garland I had and then tucked in some green sprigs from the Christmas shop.

The Christmas tree candles were also found at the PB outlet. They carry these in the regular stores to this year, but a few dollars cheaper at the outlet.

Same stockings come out each year. I tucked real candy canes from Cracker Barrel in them.

Added back one of my Santa faces. Last year I hung the one that is all white here. This time I used the red hat one.

The rest are some closeups that I took.

 The look at night with the candles lit.

Now I just need a good snowfall outside, the fire lit, and a mug of hot cocoa.

In reality it was 70 degrees today. Doesn't feel much like Christmas.

See you Tuesday evening for Wow Us Wednesdays. Bring all your Christmas cheer!
