I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. I've been busy getting ready for Christmas and just finished all my shopping today:) I keep hearing many of you wanting to keep your Christmas decorating simple this year and I feel the same. I have always loved to bring nature indoors especially during the holidays. Today I'm going to share this lovley branch filled with some of my white ornaments sitting in an urn. You can really use just about anything for a tree......just use your imagination. Enjoy! xoxo K.
Can you see the lichen still attached to the branches?
Don't you love how my paperwhite bulbs look in the glass jars with the white roots growing in the rocks?
the ornaments on the branches are already special, but with the natural lichen on the tree, perfect!
ReplyDeleteso love your White Wednesday,
thanks...

Kathleen it looks so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think simple is best with so many suffering this holiday season it is just the feeling in the air. Keep it simple and give to others in need.
Take care and Happy Holidays

Hi, Kathleen. Thanks for hosting. I'll link up in the morning when I snap a few pics of my altered salt and pepper shaker snowmen. I love your branch with the ornaments. So rustic. My daughter has an amaryllis planted that is in the same stage. She can't wait for it to bloom. It is the first time we've planted these bulbs. I'm not much of a gardener but it could not have been any easier and so fun! Take care. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteI love what you've done with the branch.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting.:)
I love it! Those mossy branches are great!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW,
Judy
This is so pretty. I'd wondered how you got that look on the branches, but I read the comment about natural lichen...that explains it. Beautiful vintage ornaments too :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marcia
It's my first time here for your party and it looks as if there are so many pretty posts to see and be inspired from. Your bare branch tree is one such item. I love the simplicity and elegance of its natural look. And it is dressed so well, too. Thanks for hosting and letting me have the opportunity to show a little white!
