Tiny simple Christmas tour at our house!

Welcome!

{Instead of one word Wednesday, let's take a tiny tour of Camp Rustown}

This year I am soooo happy to be able to do all of my own shopping and decorating, no matter how stressed I feel.  But, in any case, I kept it simple.  And I used a lot of what I already had.

I have used the same wreath form for years and just recycled the picks and sprays and whatnot.  This year I bought red burlap ribbon to spruce it up.

The tree was cut by Hubby and the boys from Elgin Tree Farm - they chose a 8.5 footer, so I ended up buying a 48 piece ornament set from Wal-Mart to fill in the empty spaces. 

Beautiful Pier One inspired candle holder from my friend Carol.  I am really loving those LED candles since they can go just about anywhere!

China cabinet is prettied up with red ribbon, candles, berry sprays

Card holder from Firstborn - made in Scouts years ago

 button pillow made by me many years ago.  I didn't make any crafts this year, but I have a LOT of ideas for what I want to make next year, and I swear I will get started early!

The den tree

So not fancy.  And a bunch of it could be left out through January.

I added some vintage yarn ornaments to a small tree in the boys' bathroom.

The soldier was made by The Girl.

Even my bathroom got a small tree and candle.

And the bedroom shelves got tiny trees and a Santa.

I hung a wreath in the kitchen window, added the tiny pinecone trees in pots, and we light a candle at the kitchen table most every day.  It's such a peaceful place to sit.  I'm finding I really love the simple decor.
