The Heart of Christmas!

This wreath over the fireplace is the heart of our Christmas celebration. Each year it involves a husband’s labor of love–must be decorated while standing on a tall ladder.  This year it came together from 3 different spools of ribbon, numerous glittered picks, long-stem glitter poinsettias, feathered picks on alligator clips, etc. etc.  The red and gold glitter is a great way to counter-balance the Mexican limestone fireplace with carved acanthus leaf pillars and a fleur-de-lis plinth at the top.

Find the heart at the center of your home, and create a shining tribute to the holiday of your dreams,   keep alive that spirit of wonder you first experienced as a child.
