A Treasured Georgia Christmas
December 11, 2013
Amanda has finished decorating her historical home in Fort
Benning, Georgia. You'll remember my visit there in October,
when I shared my trip with you in my Thankful and Pleased post.
She has incorporated treasures from the sea as well as the
forests to bring a certain natural magic to the Season.
Starfish, silver baubles, pine cones and the glow of her frosted
Christmas tree make her sitting room a very special place to be.
Although she did not join us for Tis The Season tour, I was looking
forward to sharing with you some of the ways in which she
celebrates The Season with her young family.
To her handmade Toile Christmas Stockings, hung by
the chimney with so much love and care. Her creativity
and talent shine throughout her home.
The mantle decorated so effortlessly with her hand sewn
fabric Christmas Tree, mercury glass and clear glass ornaments
nonchalantly placed in a clear glass cylinder.
A beautiful oil painting over the mantle and the colors of the ocean
and sky enhanced with the blue candle and the modge podge letter
of her last name. Just look at the gorgeous blue patina of the
candlestick.
Carefully placed keepsakes and Christmas treasures reflect the
beauty and joy of adding natural elements to home decor.
A Tis The Season treasury of what makes Christmas special in her
Georgia home.

In creating her Christmas theme she combines natural elements with
her own handmade creations. It all begins with the simple elegance
of the natural grapevine Star on top of her petite Christmas Tree.

Jemma,
ReplyDeleteThis house is decorated so nice because many of the items are handmade, and that makes it special, indeed. I love the mercury glass and ornaments. I have seen them around a lot this season. The fabric tree on her mantle is sweet. How nice to mix a little bit of nature in the décor.
I had a great time with the blog tour, Jemma, and I want to thank you for inviting us to join in.
Have a peaceful weekend, dear.
Love,
