Holiday decor, the illustrated version

[mellicious]

I've been meaning to post pictures some of our decorations and I hadn't gotten around to it. Here's the fabric-scrap wreath that I bought on Etsy.



(It was hanging on the doorknob when I took this, not actually on the door, but it is now hung properly on the front door.)


Here's my one-and-only Cyber Monday purchase, a pair of velvet stockings from Pottery Barn.



I had been wanting stockings and these were on sale for $6 each including free monogramming and free shipping. That was too good a deal to pass up, especially because I liked the shape of them. I stuck them up on the wall with push-pins, and then added the crocheted snowflake that somebody had sent me in a Christmas card. (Thanks, Shel!)

(And yeah, my name is not actually Mel. I prefer Mel and I may start using it for real-life purposes someday, but I haven't done it just yet.)


I didn't know what to do with this string of garland so it got draped around a doorknob and over the thermostat.


(The little skinny door goes to the linen closet, btw. This apartment has previously unheard-of luxuries like a coat closet and a linen closet. Well, unheard of by us, anyway.)

Love that wreath, great way to use up ribbon and scraps!

Yeah, and it's a pretty big wreath too - it must've taken somebody a long time to tie all those pieces on there! (I'm just glad it wasn't me.)
