Decorations for Winter

After all the Christmas decorations had been put away I had a few bare spots around the house. I did some re-arranging of candles, knick-knacks, etc. but I also bought a few new things for my entryway.

I was all set to get some kind of floral arrangment for the table when I saw these pretty stacking boxes. Grace and Emily talked me into getting them. ;0)



I also found a metal envelope holder that I'm going to use for out going mail. The little plate holds antique Victorian calling cards that my friend, Kimberly sent me.



Last fall, I moved my ficus tree to the other side of my hutch. I had an Autumn and Christmas picture for that spot but now that the holidays were over I needed a new picture of some kind.

I got an herb calendar last week but I'm not sure if I like it there or not. What do you think?



Here is a closeup of January's picture.



I use these candles year round and just change out the decorative rings. For Christmas I had made tiny wreaths for the backs of my dining chairs from this white and gold bead garland. I re-used two of them for these candles.



My fireplace is back to normal but I did add my cinnamon stick candles from Christmas and a simple basket of pinecones on the hearth.




The windowsills on both sides of the fireplace have small amber candles that make the room cozy at night.
