Burlap Stockings (My Love Language)

One of my favorite things about our new house is our mantel and fireplace!  A few weeks ago, we lit that baby right up, sat back with huge grins and realized that it was our first "house-fire" in 15 years of marriage!  I love having a mantel to decorate with each season!  This year, I wanted some froo-froo burlap stockings cause I am a girl among zero girls.  Sometimes a momma just needs a little frill!  I knew just the person to call!

 

Paige is all things creative!  You can't beat her prices or the quality.  If you are looking for stockings, pillows, canvases, embroidery, aprons, or you-name-it,  she is your gal!  Here is her website. 

 

My "O Come let us adore Him" sign was crafted by my amazing sister, Amelia. She is some kind of gifted, too!  I love that the sign hangs in the center of the room, pointing us to the main reason for Christmas.  May our hearts truly adore Him.

 

I have big plans for the JOY buckets.  My friend Michelle apparently has a truckload of rosemary in her backyard.  Once Ice-ageddon 2013 passes, I shall fill those babies right up with that heavenly herb!

 

This is the first season I have had such fun and meaningful Christmas decorations.  Fa-la-la!!!

 

Now I am off to make Zuppa Toscana.  I grabbed the last bunch of kale at Kroger today.  Forget milk and bread, I went to the store for kale.  That soup is calling my name.
