I can hardly believe that it's already December
and time to start sharing our holiday decorating. But, alas, it's time...so here
we go! As some of you already know, I made a promise to myself, to keep my decor simple this year, and I DID IT!!! I have so much going on right now, with my daughters college graduation, moving her home, and moving Coastal Charm Interiors into a new shop, that left very little time for decking the halls. I am all finished now, and I am really okay with the more simple look, here at Coastal Charm. I am looking forward to seeing what everybody has done this year, so I will be sharing my mantel at some fun Christmas parties, and hopping around visiting while I am there,hope you will join me.
Blessings,
Linda
Christmas Mantel 2012
Grapevine tree from Target.
You can find these cute ornament hangers
at Dollar Tree (I got mine there last year).
My garland was found at a local Goodwill.
Deer antlers came from a flea market.
This monogram ornament was purchased
at Pottery Barn.
I really wish I could remember where
this little santa came from...isn't he a
CUTIE?
This DIY burlap tree, was made last year.
This mantel was put together with things that I already had
on hand. I have not purchased one thing this year, and there
will be no shopping for me on the 26th!
Mr.CC did really good, when he purchased
this Santa for me, many years ago.
Thanks for coming by, and please be sure to
join me at my NIFTY THRIFTY TUESDAY
PARTY, with all your CHRISTMAS decor!

Linda I love your mantel. The colors are so soothing and rustic! Great job! I'm trying not to buy anything for decorations this year but have already broken that when I picked up a cute Santa at the thrift (on today's post). Oh well....hugs, Linda
Your mantel looks wonderful decked out for the holidays! I hope after we get our great room painted sometime between the 10th and 15th, I will be able to decorate a little...moving during the holidays is hard :-).
Linda, I love your mantel! You've used such wonderful elements (the mercury, the grapevine tree, the handsome Santa). It's so warm and inviting!
Your mantel looks wonderful!
Very pretty, Linda! Simple and rustic. The tress look great on each end...Target has really stepped up to the plate with some neat ornaments and Christmas decor. Do you think they are following a few blogs? ;-D Love your handmade tree!

Nicely done, Linda! I love the initial ornaments hanging on the moss stars.
Linda, your mantel is so pretty. I love that grapevine tree and the mossy stars with the letter S on them. All of it looks great and I'm so proud of you for keeping it simple. I'm trying to do the same. So far, so good! :)

Everyone is going simpler this year, me included! I love the simpler, more natural look.
Beautiful mantel! I love the ornament from PB too! I did it simple this year too because I remembered how I dreaded taking it all down last year.lol
Hi Linda,
Pretty mantel. I love the natural and simplistic look you've created.
Good for you for using what you already have. I'm trying to do the same thing this year.
