Christmas on Bay Drive
I decided to decorate a bit less for the holidays this year. I don’t know why perhaps I am just pairing down and keeping it simple. It also did not help that I had a bout with the flu this past week as well. That week out of commission put me way behind schedule. But I think I may like the less is more effect this year. Join me for Christmas on Bay Drive.
I used a simple teardrop wreath and added the gold and red bow for a bit of bling.
I also added a matching gold and red bow to the lamp post. If you look closely you can see my roses are still blooming. I think they are confused and think it’s spring. 🙂 Roses and Christmas lights…go figure.Â
The lighted present and the upcycled lighted Christmas jar both adorn my entry table. I am proud of the Chrismas jar as it is from my upcoming craft boutique.
I have fallen in love with snow doves.
I’ve had these Christmas booties for many years. I just love them.
This is part of the vignette on my coffee table. This little candle lamp is gorgeous when lit. I use the little battery operated tea light candles.
My table is basic and neutral for the most part. However, I have tossed a few red baubles for a pop of color.
This is one of my favorite pieces of art. It’s called stepping out on faith. It happens to be on the wall adjacent to the Christmas tree. I love the way the lights from the tree are reflected in the glass. I wish the picture wasn’t so muted and you could get the full effect.
Well, that’s Christmas on Bay. Not as much color as last year but festive and cozy in a subdued sort of way. Enjoy your holiday.

Thank You for the Visit!
Everything is so lovely. My first thought when I saw the candy cane filled booties is there is no way they would last a day with my 8 year old. 🙂
Hi Audrey,
Thank you. I’m so glad you enjoy everything. I have a 4 year old grandson and believe me, I have an extra stash of candy canes because he loves to pull them off the tree and from the booties. So I just keep refilling. 🙂 Thank you for stopping by.
Your decorating looks beautiful and gave me some ideas for our new home! Thank you 🙂
Hi Christine,
I am happy you enjoyed the article and if you are able to use some of the ideas, that’s even better. Thank you so much for reading along.
Very pretty! My yard is covered in snow right now so I am smiling at your confused roses….lol I think I have those same dishes, they look wonderful on your table.
Merry Christmas!
Hi Christine. It was 17 degrees this morning and those roses are still hanging on. I just don’t know what to say about them anymore. I just love these dishes. I got mine from Homegoods last year this time. a you can see, I like an eclectic table setting, so I did not get the entire set. Now that I look at them I wish I had. That would have given me all sorts of mix n match opportunities. Stay tuned for more of the rose saga. 🙂
Your home looks beautiful. I love the snow doves!
Thank you Donna. I didn’t do as much this year as last and it turned out okay. I love snow doves as well. I have enough collections but I don’t think it would hurt to have a few more snow doves around? Do you? 🙂 From my family to yours…Merry Christmas and a peaceful new year.
