…Beginning with this Bay Beauty!

And Oh My….the Scent  is heavenly! Now…you know…I have ribbon  issues…(LOVE my ribbon)

But…a gorgeous wreath…this naturally  beautiful…needs no embellishment! And what could be more appropriate for a kitchen mantel than the…delectably edible Bay!

More natural  goodness hangs from our ornate family room sconces…

Swags of magnolia…with a simple satin tie……

….and garlands of the same…..the ends wrapped in velvet ribbon…swath down the family room mantel…

Two enormous pine cones…

…All the embellishment you need!

Paperwhites & greenery….

Holiday Wishes….

tucked…

…about ~

….lend even more glorious eye candy & fragrance…

Still to come…ornaments & Herbs…monogram  place cards…and a garland of fresh flowers  for one of the trees… as the Holiday Home Tour heads….to the dining  room.  That…and a partridge  in a pear  tree!

I hope you will check back!

Ciao & Buon Natale,

Monica
