The Living Room Mantle

I always struggle with decorating my mantle. This year I have my Swarovski crystal snowflake ornaments on a Pier 1 tree along with a garland of twinkle lights, some gold reindeer, silver trees and the knockoff MacKenzie-Childs stockings I made:
The Swarovski snowflakes twinkle in the afternoon sun and leave rainbows on my wall!
The gold accent pieces are so pretty at night:
Just a little winter wonderland on my mantle!

    Your mantel winter wonderland is delightful! I love your crystal ornaments--you're smart to display them in such a special way. And those stockings, like all your M-C knock-off pieces, are great!!

    Your mantle is very pretty. Especially at night. I want to post some pics of mine this year...I used my mother's snow globes on it this time. Best to you, Pat
