Into The Woods.....Christmas Mantel

I wasn't sure what I was going to do on my mantel this year for Christmas. I was strolling through Pottery Barn and saw these trees with the lights and then ideas came to me and a scene that you might see in the woods, sans the lighted trees, was created. 

I used a blanket of snow across the mantel and then placed the trees at each end. I love these trees because the lights have battery packs that run the lights with timers and I just tucked those under the snow.

I knew I wanted to place some deer on the mantel and went in search of ones the correct size. I found both of these at an antique mall.

I love how life like this one looks and wish there had been a buck like this.

I already had the bottle brush trees.

I added two little cute bears at each end of the mantel.

I added bits of snow on top of the burlap bases of the trees.

This vintage Belgian bulb basket that I bought last year from Dreamy Whites holds a thick faux fur throw to grab on a chilly evening. This is Mr. Savvy's favorite throw.

I wanted birch logs in the fireplace this year to go along with the woodland theme and since we don't have birch trees I ordered these from an etsy shop and they came very quickly.

After I was finished shooting pics for this post I decided to add these lights to the logs. Do y'all keep tweaking things after you finished like I do?

Linen and ticking Christmas stockings by Ann hang with a snowy branch tucked in.

I hope you enjoyed my woodland mantel and now you will want to grab you something to drink and take the time to enjoy the rest of these gals' creative mantels. Just click the links below.
