Holiday Floral Arrangements

I love bringing the outdoors inside especially for the holidays, I make all the floral arrangements throughout my house and i thought i would share one of my favorites with you.  i start  filling a clean container with fresh potting soil, then place the rosemary plant in the center. then i divide in half 1 potted ivy placing a half on each side . then i go all the way around the container fillinf it with pansies. and there you have one of my favorites. nothing compares to the fragrance of cut greens and rosemary throughout the house. this arrangement will last all through the holiday season.. a smaller arrangement i am doing , a little topiary and some pansies, just add instant green to a terra cotta pot  and you have a cute little arrangement.. Enjoy your weekend! Grace.

A French Christmas

This is my favorite room in the house. i saw this ribbon at my local garden center and i just fell in love with it. i found the little chest at home goods and new it would go perfectly with the theme. these are things  i think  marie would have had under her tree, jewelry, and shoes of course.

 the candles are from pottery barn and i thought they would look lovely  with my mercury glass. The purple votive is  Nest Fragrances- Sir Elton John - it has a wonderful holiday scent.

The first tree i put up each year is in the living room. I guess it is the first because its a room that we do not use everyday, so i can get away with decorating it before Thanksgiving. This year my theme for this room is Marie Antoinette. I think it turned out lovely. My inspiration for this tree came from my local garden center .I think this may now be my favorite . I do a total of 4 trees, each with a different theme. What do you think? Would Marie like this???
