This was my very first nativity. I saw it at a Christian bookstore before Christmas one year and fell in love with it. I went back right after Christmas with my fingers crossed that they would still have one and that it would be on sale. (It was originally $90!) I found it mixed in with a lot of other stuff on a big table marked half price! I know $45 is still a lot but it has brought a smile to my face every time I see it, so I think it was worth it.
My favorite aunt gave me this nativity as a wedding gift. You may be able to tell as we go along, I love abstract nativities with no faces.
This one may just be my favorite. Bradley’s dad brought it back from Africa. I think it is so super unique and love, love, love it!

I got a mini poinsettia and Christmas cactus this year. They add a little life and Christmas spirit to the ottoman and side tabe in the living room.
I moved the little Suess-like tree to the kitchen windowsill this year. I also decided to pull out the red beaded wreath that I got from Bed, Bath and beyond in college. It was the perfect size to add to this window.

I broke down and bought one of the mosaic mirror trees from Target. It fits perfectly in the corner on the powder room counter.

I added a little sparkle to a candle plate
I really liked these mirror mosaic trees at Target, but didn’t want to drop the dough on decorations I can only use for a small portion of the year, so I found some acceptable substitutes at the Dollar Tree:

I made this cool dustcatcher out of some big retro Christmas tree light bulbs. I had fun making it and it adds a little funky to my decor.
Bradley got me this little tree at Lowe’s for my birthday the first year we were married. He had seen me get excited about it in the store for it’s Dr. Seuss-ness, and he went back to get it for me. So sweet!
