Merry, Merry Magnolia!

Friends, I'm back and promise to make up for all the lost time!!

Magnolia leaves are as simple and yet elegant and pretty as they come and boy are they the perfect addition to all of your holiday decor! Be on the lookout for a magnolia tree in your neighborhood to borrow a few leaves from and spruce up your mantle, garland, tablescape, or wreath!  

Merry, Merry Magnolia!

So simple -- Magnolia leaves with tea lights. Subtle twinkling glow.

Wednesday is full of Wreaths!

I had such fun putting together today's spread for you. 

There are so many different type of wreaths and so many creative uses and places for them. Not only are they a fun element of the holiday season but many of these ideas can be used for year round wreaths.
