Ornaments n’ Herbs ~

And so it begins…

This morning…down came the Christmas Holiday boxes…and out came the ornaments…as I ready for…The ‘Celebrations Holiday Home Tour.’

Ornaments n’ Herbs ~ The lovely pairing…will be a recurring theme in our holiday decorating. Our treasured hand blown…Italian glass ornaments…with ribbons of gold…(I’ll share ‘La Storia’ about the ornaments later) dangle from our dining room chandeliers…alongside fresh herbs…bundled and tied with twine. I love the combination of the elegant glass forms….and the earthy Herbs. And the fragrance… is fantastic!

The herbs, rosemary….oregano…hanging like this…remind me of my grandmother and parents basements. Come fall…the fresh herbs would be plucked from the garden…bundled and hung from the ceiling…to be used in soups and sauces…all winter long. I love when decorating…speaks to you on different levels…

The decorative herb bundles will be much more grand for the holiday tour…and I’ll add quite a few more ornaments…but you get the ‘Holiday Idea’ here...This is simply a first run… But the decorating underway…And on this morning…The warm sun is streaming through the window glass…and holiday music is echoing through our halls…

It’s time…time to roll out…a little holiday magic! Do you ‘believe?’ I do!

Ciao,

Monica
