Didn't have such a great week last week. Toby's back issue flared up and with him being 15 years old we didn't know what the outcome would be. He spent 2 full days at the vet on IV pain meds, (there was a lot of crying going on here!)
After leaving the vet's office on Thursday I came home and found a little surprise waiting for me. This sweet stocking made by Linda over at White Weathered Hutch with a little note wishing me a Merry Christmas!
Isn't it so cute, it smells good too! Linda added cinnamon potpourri inside it.
I knew right away where I was placing it!
Having started this blog has introduced me to so many new and wonderful friends, that I am so thankful for!
Thank you Linda for this sweet surprise, I love it!!
The IV meds worked wonders on Toby and he's back to feeling good!! With him having a bulging disk we just have to watch he don't over do it (he still thinks he's a pup!)
Happy Monday friends!
I'm joining Debbie's Holiday Knockoff Decor Party today. I'm sharing where I got the inspiration to do this years Christmas mantel.
Here's the image I found over at BHG, I loved this look!
In mine I used a real wreath and I wanted to add a few pops of red.

I went with a whole new look on the mantel this year. I usually always put my Santa painting which you can see here on the mantel.
Another change this year is I used a lot more live greenery, the house smells so good! Let's take a look...
I bought the frame in Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago when they were on sale for 50% off and tied a real wreath to it, my mom made the bow for me. I also poked two berry picks in there for a pop of red. The ribbon I bought in AC Moore craft store.
Added an old fashion Santa that I had for years, along with real garland and a few faux Christmas trees.
This is the first year we've had a real tree in here, I love it! Think we just started a new tradition!
It's an 8ft. fraser fir.
A little peek looking in from the breakfast area.
I'm so happy with the way this room turned out! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Even the powder room gets a little Christmas cheer! I'm using a lot more live greenery this year, so I even added this little cypress on the shelf. Now I just have to remember to water it! 
I hung one of Ann's cute little stocking in here too.
Replaced the lavender in my little silver tray with pine needles and pinecones.
This little Santa picture goes up every year, it's very special to me. My son bought this for me a few years ago at his schools Christmas shop.
Finishing it off with my hooked poinsettia rug that I've had for years.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a super week!
