Keeping It Natural

We are lucky to have lots of holly growing in our yard, so it's fun at Christmas to cut some and use it to decorate.  It looks so pretty in this blue and white pitcher beside our bed.


 and in a blue and white bowl in the kitchen.

 and tucked in among some pinecones from our daughter's yard,
in a big white bowl on the dining room table.
Just little spashes of red brightening up the house for Christmas. It was easy and free, 2 things I like!!
Does anyone else out there like red?? 

Thanks for stopping by!

    Our holly tree is just big enough to take some leaves and berries this year - hooray! I love it, especially in a blue and white bowl.

    I love your beautiful holly in blue and white. :)
    I, too, have some holly bushes but this year, due to the extreme drought we are in, no red berries. I am sad about that but so thankful to have saved the holly bushes. I poured the precious water to the 5 bushes all summer and, at that, they still had me worried....but, they did survive.
    Have a wonderful Christmas, Rhondi...

    It looks very pretty, Rhondi. I just cut some holly and brought inside, too.

    Happy Holidays, dear friend.

    My holly is so beautiful this year too. I love how you've used it in your Christmas decor. I have even used sprigs of the holly as bows on my Christmas baking and gifts. I enjoy reading your blog and can see that you love red - you use it well!
