Nature's own Christmas beauty

Hi Darlin's
Every year when I think about my Christmas decor I visualize natures own beauty. 
I think-truly know..., my visual has always been... from where I grew up in the midwest.

This time of year I visualize 
Snow* 
evergreens 
 trees with barren branches
& my favorite white birch trees, all twigs & white papery bark...beautiful!

Pinterest

The elements of nature exude texture and have a heartiness of the rugged outdoors.

This birch twig star is gorgeous*
I can imagine how beautiful it would be with twinkle lights, can you?

Pinterest

Hmmm...What would Christmas be without REINDEER?

Pinterest


They are simply ICONIC & MAGICAL.

Tiny gilded acorns strung onto twine...
Can this be that little touch of nature, that you need?

Pinterest

Moss covered stars are just lovely...

I hope you are inspired by natures's beautiful decor...
I know I am!

Inspiration for Christmas, is sometimes right in our back yard.
Take a stroll through the woods, you might think it's decorated just for you, enjoy the beauty.

My Design tip: Natural elements take time to collect, making them into something special for your decor can be a project for the whole family. The memories will last for-ever.

Savor the season * may peace be with you!

  2. I love this because this year, I am all about minimalistic and natural decor. Probably because my boyfriend gave me a book about Scandinavian Christmas and I finally feel inspired. :)
