2. Mitten Advent Calendar Garland
Hope you’re having a happy holiday season and that we get to see more of your holiday-themed decor at Sarah’s Christmas tree linky party on Wednesday!
These are all so pretty! I especially love the snowflake curtain! 🙂
it’s all so lovely, but I think the mitten advent calendar might be my favorite! How cute!
Yes! That mitten advent calendar is adorable!
Yes, I LOVE that idea!!! Of course, it’s too late for me to use it this year, but my kids will love it next year!!! You always come up with the greatest ideas!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love Christmas ideas! Snowflake curtain… da bomb! (Chair embellishment is pretty sweet too:)
Layla girl!!!! These are SOOOOO pretty. I remember when you embellished those little chandelier lampshades, too! 😀
I have the SAME dining chairs. Thanks for the ideas!
I love them all! especially the moss and kraft paper gifts! Layla I saw you on the 700 club, I got all excited, I was like “I know her”, then I remembered I really don’t :)) But I know your blog and all your talents, you were wonderful on the show!! God bless all your endeavors!!!
I love the garland around the snowflake drops! So lovely!
Love, love the snowflake curtain! I need to do this in my son’s room – he would love it!
Love the ribbon on the back of the chair- so beautiful.
Merry Christmas
So pretty and simple as always! Love your snowflake curtain. I was going to make some out of book pages, but did not get around to it!
LOVE the snowflake curtain !
Beautiful ideas Layla! My fav is the hanging starfish (of course) and the moss covered packages! Simplicity reigns supreme this season!
Stuff like this gets the old creative juices flowing. How cool to come here get inspiration and see all these visually stunning photos and carry the ideas with us.. I love the wicker texture of your dinning chairs with the red velvet ribbon … and the white in the background.. The whole thing coming together with a nice graphic pop.. 🙂
LOVE all these… wish Christmas was in winter here… hmm sometimes decorating for Christmas in Summer can be tricky !
I love everything! I only wish I was that crafty 🙂
Oh my gosh these are awesome holiday crafts. I love how your advent calendar doubles as a garland and your dining room table ideas are so cute and easy to personalize. Awesome! Happy Holidays!
so many great ideas!
thanks layla!

What wonderful, festive touches! I can’t wait to pick which ones I’m going to use for upcoming entertaining!
Love all of these ideas! Too cute!
I just had a thought about the cute mitten advent calendar. After Christmas you can donate the mittens to charity. No storing a decoration and some kids have warm hands!
I cannot tell you what a pleasure it is to see red and green in your Christmas decor. All I seem to see these days is pink and blue. Absolutely gorgeous!
Simple, pretty ideas!
I have the same dining chairs…love the way you added the red ribbon and ornamentation to the backs….thanks for that inspiration! Best to you and yours for the holidays. Judy
Holy cow Layla! How do you guys have the energy to keep it going!
Loving it Layla the star fish hanging from the lighting is so gorgeous loved it :))
I love the snowflake curtains, simply beautiful, love it! and how very cute and clever to just ‘write’ on the tablecloth for placecards.
I love these decorations. Your photographs are crisp and beautifully filled with light! Simply Startling!
You’re xmas decor is charming charming!!
love the mitten advent calendar.
Where did you get those cute wicker chairs?
Layla – please share where you got those khaki-colored beautiful pillows with the white print. I love them!
Did the snowflakes as a garland on our staircase last year instead of greenary. Curtain is a great idea too. LOVE the wicker chairs, Do you have a source for them.
Thanks
