It's begining to look a lot like Christmas

Washington D.C. got another early Christmas gift today in the form of over 10inches of snow. And it's still coming down!  It's beautiful and makes my outdoor decor look idyllic. 

I like to keep outdoor decorating simple. A teak bench purchased at Target at the end of the summer anchors this arrangement.  A vintage sleigh - a gift from my sister years ago is tucked behind it.

A Coca Cola wood tray (purchased on EBay) holds oversized outdoor ornaments and left over pieces of garland from around the front door.  A lantern with red candle and pinecones....

The final touch:  a pair of children's skates (also purchased on ebay) embellished with handmade yarn pompons.
