My Busy Christmas Mantle

This is my holiday labor of love...

I wish I could capture

the magic

and charm

& how truly pretty

my sweet snow-covered village

really is.

It's a labor of love
that adds one more touch of joy to the holidays!

    Oh how wonderful. I'm originally from Yonkers, NY and this brings back Christmas memories. How I long to move back ... I love Orange County New York and that's were I'd like to be for now. Thanks for the beautiful pictures.

    Happiness and Abundance to ALL !

    Joanne. Your village is breath taking! I love it. And your mantel is beautiful and so large. We have a tiny one. It's my sisters favorite and first (and sometimes only) thing to decorate. Lol. Thanks for the visit and comment on my snowgirl. I love this new art. Waiting for the next match box swap too. Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas. Becs

    I love your village! I use to put one out. Since it's just me this year, I don't have half my decorations out. Hopefully next year when my husband is home...
