I like to decorate the front door too at Christmas, but try and have something other than a traditional holly wreath, just for something a bit different. This is this year's offering - a simple twig star with mistletoe, looks pretty.
Here's the mantlepiece in all its finery; I like the natural holly and ivy for here at this time of year, with plenty of candles - these are the recycled ones I posted about a wee while ago.

I love that twig star!!!! Gorgeous! I'm yet to find some mistletoe I can reach. I've managed to collect the other greenery though.
I'm going to pinch your idea with that star!

I have just discovered your blog and loved reading it. I especially like your Things to Do In December and your ideas for presents list. There are some excellent ideas.
Hello and welcome Jayne! Enjoy the blog.
Hen, I didn't make the stars, I got them at the tip (aka recycling centre LOL) last year for a few pennies. They would be fairly simple to make, though. I bought the mistletoe, but it is local - I ain't built for shinning up trees in winter LOL :)
I am so envious of your fresh ivy and mistletoe -I must be content with just evergreen boughs -Balsalm and pine being my favourites
That's so pretty and original. Snap on the colour of your sitting room walls - we've just toned ours down from distinctly tangerine in sunshine . . .
I love your star and mistletoe. I'm hoping for a dry day at the weekend to collect my greenery. There is mistletoe at our allotment - if I can reach it!!
