Tartan Holiday


.....so, I'm guessing it's pretty obvious by the photos I took today what suits my fancy when it comes to holiday decorating.  In other areas of decorating my tastes seem to change ever so slightly over time (and are much "cleaner" and "simpler")....... but not so with Christmas decor..... my delight in an abundance of classic tartans paired with bright red berries, gold accents, boxwood and paperwhites never wavers.



..... it's what I'd imagine Ralph Lauren meets J.Crew for a holiday soiree might be like..... :)

... and here are  a few items I wouldn't mind adding to my collection....

  4. I am a tartan girl too! This is funny - I was looking back at your last years Christmas images just last week for some inspiration. I remembered your use of tartan, berries and traditional style that I love so much. I added a tartan tree skirt last year. I love it!! Thanks for this post & enjoy decorating!

  5. My decorations are all just a mish mash of stuff. I love displaying holiday cards all across a wall, I love to see loved ones near and far every day.

  6. I noticed all those pretty plaid pins! :) I've been on the hunt for a plaid with a little bling, maybe gold and silver ~ no luck yet!

  7. I just enjoyed a weekend of scrapbooking at Lake Cumberland. As a break from the scrapbooking we went outside to shoot real life mistletoe out of a tree. I have it hanging in my doorway into the kitchen. I am about to take it down because you just don't realize how often you pass through there! The kissing in my house is more than anyone can handle!
