Holiday mantel #2 complete

Well the second mantel is officially complete. In contrast the neutral tones of the living room, the dining room is full of sparkle and color.

I began collecting vintage Christmas ornaments while still in high school and over the years I have developed a rather large collection. The problem is, with two young children, a dog and a husband, the idea of them crashing off the tree to an explosive finale of a thousand pieces on the floor is unbearable! Therefore, I have found that the best solution is to display these colorful gems in glass jars. I complimented their sparkle by hanging large foil stars (from the Dollar Tree). T
