Carol from Art and Sand
will be sharing her 'Sweet and Simple' decor. If you know Carol, then you know how fabulous her style is!
Now, when it comes to decorating I'm pretty sure my motto is, "The more the merrier'. lol! But I think I managed to keep a few things a little bit simpler this year.
I thought that a truckload of tinsel being delivered to decorate the three trees was a sweet idea. Super simple to throw this vignette together!
This simple vignette is on our basement kitchen table. We love playing games during the holidays with family and friends so I didn't want to have to move a lot of stuff.
To me it is ever so sweet. . .because the black cookbook belonged to my mother. Notice the torn binding? I was going to repair it, but haven't gotten to it yet. Love seeing her hand written recipes here and there inside!
The basement family room mantle is pretty simple. Can't believe how quickly things come together when you just throw on a few items.
What's sweet about this is that after Christmas all I have to do is remove the stocking holders and it can be left there for Winter decor.

Sweet snowmen and simple candlelight.
My upstairs mantle is quite simple this year as well. Came together in about a half an hour.
I love the simple reflection of sweet mercury glass in the tri-fold mirror.
How simple is this olive bucket filled with dried Hydrangeas and topped with a glittery Noel?
And this sweet little Wintry vignette?
The other day I received a package in the mail from sweet
She sent me A letter 'J' stamp that I had inquired about and guess what came with it?
One of her precious chenille stem Santas. Love it!
She also included this sweet tag that I added to my nest house.
And last of all I have to show you this sweet thing. . .My friend, Ann's 16 year old daughter, Elise.
She has such a talent for chalkboard art! Her mother sent me a picture of one she created for her. Teasingly I texted back, "Red Rover, Red Rover, send her right over".
Well a few days later here they came.
She did all the hard stuff and I just added the greenery.
Simply Sweet!
Remember that all of the links stay open until the 19th. So please share your fabulous Christmas with each host! Remember, "The More the Merrier"

Hi Jann,
The small houses are so perfect! My favorite is the little church ... so pretty !!
Congratulations for the "Creating Christmas". Loved it!
Hugs,
Fernanda.
All so charming! Love it and I think I'm being drawn more and more to simple!
I love simple! I think sometimes we get carried away and it looks way over done. I love to be able to dream and remember when looking at treasures. Yours are all so lovely!
Blessings My Friend,
Love it all Jann! The MC trees are so lovely, and your little vignette in the large glass vase simple and elegant. I think when things are a little simpler we enjoy them more. It's all so pretty!
Love the chalk board art! I used to have children draw Christmas pictures on my driveway and when it rained, they got a clean slate!
That is awesome that you have a mantel in the basement to also decorate. I LOVE snowmen and leave many up throughout the winter also.
Everything is so lovely, Jann. The little truck is so cute and I think those little Putz style houses are just adorable. The chalk board art is awesome too. How talented your young friend is!
Such a wonderful season of sharing and caring :) Love your mantles and the goodies from Donna. What a sweet friend to come over and write your chalkboard message. If I say "Red rover, red rover," do you think she'd come over?!
Love it all and what a talent your friends daughter has for Chalk Board Art. So pretty.

So many beautiful arrangements here, you have inspired me to do a little more in my home. Enjoy the rest of the weekend x
Jann, I LOVE that chalkboard and the art looks amazing!
Susan
Everything looks so beautiful and cute and festive :) You certainly have fun decorating for this coming holiday:)
I adore these sale and pepper boots
I hear you Jann! I don't think I could practice the art of less is more during the Christmas season either, especially with grandchildren coming for the holidays. I love everything you've done to decorate your house! The chalkboard art is awsome!
Vickie
Jann, everything is so darn pretty. You certainly have a special touch with Christmas decorating and you are amazingly good at writing on the chalk board. I find it to be a very tricky thing to make pretty, but you make it look easy.
Merry Christmas.
Connie :)
Awesome! All of it. The truck, the mantel, the chalkboard art!!!! Love it!
XO Kris
