Welcome to our home! I'm so glad you stopped by. I love our house when it's decorated for Christmas. The warm glow of the lights, the colors, the sparkle....it's just so pretty!
The color scheme on our tree is red and gold. I have a lot of red and gold glass balls and then some other things mixed in. This red and gold gift box is one of my favorites. I got it two years and wish I had gotten several more...
Another one of my favorites...a gold "S" from Rest0ration Hardware...
And, I'm all about the red berry picks scattered throughout. Love them! I need to get a few more picks and add them to my bow tree topper...it needs a little more help =)
I made new stockings for us last year and I love them so much. I had fallen in love with the ones from BaIIard's but needed to do them on a budget so this was my attempt at them. Of course, I was praying that by this time we would have a name (or two) to add to them, but.....we are still waiting. Oh, how I pray that this will be the last Christmas that goes by....
On the mantel we have lighted garland with red and gold ornaments mixed in.
Our Will0w Tree nativity - my favorite!!
And, please come back on Wednesday to join in the Christmas Card Carousel! I can't wait!
Girl, I'm praying that next Christmas baby Stilwell's name will be on one of those stockings! Lord, please let it be!!! They are beautiful...now I need to go make some stockings for us. :)
ReplyDeleteThe rest of your decorations are just lovely.
Faith, I loove your red and gold tree!! Our tree is very...eclectic. I like the color scheme of yours better. ;)
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful. Prayers that you will have babies to write on all those stockings.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!

ReplyDeleteeverything looks just wonderful!!!! i can not believe you made those stockings!!!! did you read what i put on twitter last night???? i am so in love with them but they are really up there in price...maybe i should make my own????????? you are so talented!
ReplyDeleteYour tree is gorgeous, Faith! I LOVE red and gold together...that is our theme, too. I am loving the berries. I might just "borrow" that idea. And, you stockings look JUST like the ones from Ballard! They are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love your stockings!! Everything looks beautiful! You have done a great job! Thanks for the tour, Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour home is just beautiful and I'm still amazed at those stockings....they look EXACTLY like Ballard's! You are so talented. I ordered ours from Ballard's this year because I have no talent! I pray that you will be adding a name to one of those stockings, this time next year.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Christmas Card Carousel!!
Love you!
Gorgeous Faith!! It looks just beautiful. Your mantel is just stunning....really breathtaking. I love the fabric piece you made (I'm assuming) to go under the garland...beautiful. And those stockings??? You are so talented!! By FAITH those stockings will each hold the name of your family members in God's perfect timing and in His perfect way. Believing with you girlfriend!! Thanks for the tour!
ReplyDeleteThose are the best stockings!! And you made them?! That's so impressive. That houndstooth is making me want to cry it's so pretty. I hope y'all have a happy, memorable, and very blessed Christmas this year! :o)

ReplyDeleteEverything looks WONDERFUL! Those stockings are amazing!!! I am looking for some new ones for next year!! I want that Willow Tree Nativity, too. I am praying so hard and BELIEVING GOD that next year you will be holding your own "faith baby!" Love you lots!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all of your decorations!! Those stockings are AMAZING - I cannot believe you made them!! You totally need to be selling those on etsy - I'll be your first customer. :)
ReplyDeleteFound you via Kelly's post about the upcoming Christmas Card Carousel - looking forward to it! Also wanted to let you know I'm praying for you & the hope of having a sweet baby next Christmas. We just received our miracle pregnancy a few months ago after 3 years of waiting so I know the wait is trying. Keep relying on Him - praying for you! :)
Your home is beautiful! I love your tree, its gorgeous! And the Willow Tree Nativity: my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so pretty, Faith! I love your stockings...you are just oozing with talent! I am praying with you that this time next Christmas there will be another one of those cute stockings with a baby's name on it!! Love and hugs to you and Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your stockings...you did such a great job. AND I am praying that next year, you'll have a monogrammed stocking for Chad, Faith, and a new little baby :)
ReplyDeleteI do the red/gold theme as well, which makes decorating for Christmas a lot less crazy.
ReplyDeleteI am excited about your Christmas card tour!
Girl I am just sitting here bawling crying. I am praying soooooo hard for you that next Christmas you will have a name to monogram on one of those beautiful stockings. Hayden thought I was crying because I was mad at him. Haha, guess that goes to show how hormonal I am these days!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! would you be interested in making a few stockings to sell? (not for this season) Those are Awesome!
ReplyDeleteFaith,
ReplyDeleteYour home is just beautiful!!! I love your stockings and pray for a name to be on one of those stockings for baby Stilwell next year, sweet one.
Looking forward to the CHRISTmas Card Carousel!!
Love you girl,
Dawn

Just stopping by on the Nester tour. I L-O-V-E the stockings!!!! They are darling. I have a Willow Tree nativity that is my fav too. Beautiful home!
ReplyDeleteYour stockings turned out great!!
ReplyDeleteyour tree is beautiful!! :)
ReplyDeleteI just can't believe that you made those stockings, teach us how to do it. Praying too(and have been for so long, I'm a stalker coming out of hiding) that there will be a sweet little name on one or more of those stockings next year! God is good and so completely in control.
ReplyDeleteLove all your decorations. Came over from Lianna's blog. I hope you get to add names to those stockings in 2010. We've been married 9 yrs too and still waiting for the Lord to bless us with children. Getting ready for IVF#2 in January.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
I love your stockings, Beautiful. The tree is yummy too! :)
