Beyond "the stockings were hung..."

... by the chimney with care. :) Look at this photo a customer sent me today -- it was just one of many she shared of the pretty Christmas decorations she and her kids have put up around her house.

I wanted to share it because it shows how adding little things like a collection of ornaments or Christmas plates to an unexpected spot like a window can say festive all by themselves! The great green vase on the left is similar to some we had for Christmas at Artifacts -- ours are thick mercury glass, like the thin, shiny stuff you see on old-fashioned glass ornaments.

Have you added just a little something to a spot where you spend a lot of time? Perhaps your kitchen window or your bathroom vanity? Think of a way you can perk up what's there year round -- maybe steal this idea and hang a group of ornaments with a similar theme. And then share what you do with me!
