Christmas decorating - seashell garland

It’s been awhile since posting. Got back from Boston last week and Thanksgiving was right in my face! It was a simple but happy Thanksgiving. No BLACK FRIDAY shopping for me! I hate crowded stores and plan to participate in cyber Monday tomorrow! I spent all weekend putting up decorations. Here’s something new I did this year. This bedroom needed some beachy attitude:

Bought cheap shells at Wal-Mart & Michaels, embellished them and hot glued hooks or ribbons on them to hang.

This is son’s room. When he was home this week for Thanksgiving, his comment on his old room was “angel-fairy went to the beach!” Hey, there are no angels or fairies on this garland. I’m crushed, I take it he was not impressed with my creative desires to fou-fou it up! Just kidding….

very peaceful! It reminds me of getting away to the beach during Christmas. Peaceful, beautiful and just family. Very nice. Really like the tablescape too. My children are so young that all I can think about when I see your photos is the damage they could/would do. We did do china, silver and crystal for Thanksgiving and they did fine. But the opportunity to linger at the table was very limited for them!
