Christmas 2015 Fireplace Mantle

Hello Lovelys!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Today I am SO excited to share with you our fireplace mantle decorated for Christmas!

This year I told myself I was NOT buying anything new in terms of holiday decor! Then of course I go to Target and see all of the FABULOUS new Christmas decorations in the Dollar Spot and couldn't resist a few little things! So then my $0 spending goal turned into a $12 dollar trip to Target and Michael's. (rut row!) But, a few of the items are staples that I can use again throughout the year.

So here are some pictures of our mantle and a complete source list...

The can of "snow neige" was SO easy to use and went a loooooooong way! I was able to flock this garland and those branches with 1 can.

I LOVE the Dollar Tree for simple "fillers"! They have these snowflakes, 10 for $1 in several colors, every year!

And at night...

OH YA! And I found this sled back at the end of the summer at my favorite consignment store, Patina Interiors!!! It has already moved around several times and I'm sure this won't be its final resting place...
