Home for the Holidays Christmas Village Mantel

Happy Monday, Friends! Are you excited about Thanksgiving? I know many of you prefer to wait until after giving thanks to begin Christmas decorating, but I wanted to highlight my holiday mantel before sharing my Christmas home tour next week. This year I've given these charming little houses a new home

If my Christmas village looks familiar, that's because after gathering and collecting them from seasonal clearance sales, I usually feature them on my vintage buffet. I held fast to my decision to use what I have this holiday season, but I challenged myself to display my Christmas decorations differently than I have in the past.

All the decor featured in this post were clearance bargains--even the lights! The warm white battery twinkle lights have become my go-to for Christmas decorations. Have you tried them? I also really love that each house has a light. Here's a peek of the mantel at night...


...and below you can see the clearance wreath I deconstructed--stay tuned for the details, soon!

  5. I enjoyed seeing your village. The one part of Christmas decorating my 18yo granddaughter likes is putting up her mother's village. So after Christmas last year, I bought new houses on clearance, thrifted a bunch, bought spare light bulbs, and some accessories on sale. NOW, I have to find her a tote. She will be so surprised!
