    I love all the greenery, especially the mirror in the foyer. Did you decorate the other giant mirror (which I love)? Hopefully I will see it in other posts. Stay warm.

    Victoria, I so totally enjoyed this post I cannot even tell you! I’m quite certain my co-workers were thoroughly convinced today that I (finally) went completely over the edge by all alone laughter in my office! Absolutely love your home and the greenery is stunning! So happy that you are part of this tour – you made my day! 🙂

    I love that German glass glitter— it is season-less. You can use it anytime for anything! Which is good because it tends to get loose and you will be experiencing it for the next 5 years no matter what.
    Great video! how nice to hear your voice

    There were pictures in the post? I need to go back and look 🙂
    Just kidding!
    Yes, yes, yes! YOU win the greenery award! The garland is gorgeous. Dang … everything is gorgeous! Every year we would cut down a cedar tree for our Christmas tree. I LOVED them! My arms and hands didn’t, though … ouch. So … inquiring minds want to know … did you use all 200 feet?
    Hugs & Blessings …

    Dang! I read this too late to catch your google show. I would have loved to see you in real-live action. Maybe they archive those things. Love your garland!

    Wow! I love all your garland. I don’t think one can every have too much! 😉 Love your mantel tip! That’s a “why didn’t I think of that?” moment! Beautiful!

    I know your husband will say we are encouraging you …but you make me laugh, and your garland is fabulous! 200 yards might not be enough!

    I am in awe…. It’s fabulous… I know how much work that is… My question is… how do you deal with the smell? I love evergreen, but that much and it’s like licking a car freshener when I walk in the door. One year I bought 4 large lawn bags of fir, pine and juniper and made garland for the whole house… It wasn’t nearly as lovely as yours though… 🙂

    I like to refer to myself as a failed blogger – I used to post and now not so much. But I was invited to do a Christmas Home Tour and couldn’t turn that down. I’ll be with you ordering the craft supplies and trying not to stab myself!

    I really envy you guys with your white Christmases and lots of green. And pine cones! Christmas here in Melbourne often involves lazing around in front of an air conditioner and finding excuses not to bake gifts for people because it’s way too hot for the oven. Maybe that’s just me. For this year’s tree I was going to get a branch from somewhere and decorate it all artsy like but then my sister told me she did that one year and crap dripped all over the floor and her furnishings. I’ve enjoyed reading through your blog, my house was built in 1930 and I am also dealing with Previous Owner’s Horrible DIY Jobs And Design. Next year is the year we renovate and I’m wondering what treasures (not…) I will find.
