The Nester is hosting a "Garland Show & Tell" today! I used to love Show & Tell in elementary school! My Christmas garland is not as full and wonderful as
hers but I am happy with it.
I did not do much to it but use a long cheapo garland and add a more full decorative one on top. I added the large ornament in the middle and stuck in a few feathers, glittery picks and flowers.
I didn't think about the fact that I would not have a place to put my stocking holders so I just tied them in the garland with a little wire.
Our initials just also happen to be Santa Claus's initials too! "S" and "C".

Oh I love your garland so much!!!! (It looks terrific and I also love your wall color too!) I like how your stockings are 'full' too...ours always look empty until Christmas morning...maybe I should fill them with tissue paper until then for more fullness! The feathers and picks are great...LOVE it! :-)
It really is pretty. I love the feathers.
So, I am still thinking about your tree topper...is it different picks of stuff..feathers and berries? You have to tell me how to do that. I love it!
Your garland is beautiful. I love the initials on the stocking idea -I may have to run to HL & add some to ours.

Your garland is so lush and lovely. Absolutely adorable!
Your stockings are the cutest...I could really use some more "original" stockings (something to look for at the after Christmas sales maybe)
Your garland is so pretty! I am too scared to highlight my garland because it just cannot live up to the Nester's. But I love yours!

It looks lovely! I love the feather. Where did you get the "fuller" garland?
Love your garland with the feathers and those stockings are GREAT!!! I think I will break out the sewing machine and see what I can do. I did a "nester" garland also, but my camera is dead so I am on the hunt searching for a new one as my gift to myself. Merry Christmas!!
It looks beautiful! I love the stockings. LOVE THEM.
Your garland is so pretty! And I love yours and Cody's stockings!
I think your garland is delightful. Those stockings are truly precious.
Your mantel looks beautiful with the garland and I love your stockings! My next house will definitely have a fireplace & mantel...who cares if it is FL and is only cold enough for a fireplace a few days out of the year. lol
Beautiful! I love those Ballard stockings. cherry

Everything looks fabulous. I made my daughter some stocking that are very similar to yours...they are just so fun aren't they?!!
The fireplace mantle looks stunning! I love how you did the garland and your stockings are too cute.

Your garland is gorgeous - and those stockings are so incredibly cute! I love the idea to use your initials that way. THe feathers are also a very nice touch. I have a current decorating dilemma I could use your advice on - check out my blog today if you can!
