Christmas Mantel 2014

I think it's time to get this Christmas party started! 

Since the sun decided to grace us with its presence today, 
I was finally able to get some pictures of my Christmas decor. 
Hurray!

 Let's start with the mantel for today...



I used this big candy cane on my mantel several years ago,
so I thought it was time to bring it back out.

It was my starting point, followed by the candy cane striped ribbon.
From there, it went into a whole red, white & green candy cane theme!


The red candle hurricanes are new & from the Christmas Tree Shop.
I  figured I couldn't go wrong for $5 each.
I got the white wire cloches on clearance this Summer at Michaels.
I used my Ikea metal containers that I know so many of us have & love,
and added a candy cane to each.


I made the bows & the paper circle garland several weeks ago, 
and hoped I would like them once I got the mantel decor all together.
I was glad all went according to plan, for once!


Of course, a candy cane was needed for the wood bucket, too!


It really was an easy mantel to put together.


I hope you enjoyed my candy cane inspired mantel.

Thanks for stopping by.
I'll be back with lots more!

    We haven't had much sun lately...today the first in awhile, so I was scrambling to get some pictures taken before the clouds roll back in.
