Last year I created this postcards from France welcome
for my front door urn and used this display again this year.
Filled with winter greens and berries, I made copies of the postcard graphics
courtesy of The Graphics Fairy.
Adding wood to the backs of each and a ruler size stem for placing in the urn, they stay perfectly.
One postcard has a red postage stamp,
and the other has green stamps.
I added lights to my porch trees on each side of the door, candles in the window above
and garland over the door and along the sidelight windows.
An old wooden hand created sled leans on the house as you walk to the door.
It's hard to see these night time photos with the lights on, but I have a pair of wooden skates
hanging inside the wreath.
Coach lights on each side of the porch hold an arch of winter greenery.
Two deer stand in front of the dining room window.
I have candles in all the windows around the house
and wreaths with timer lights.
This is a daytime shot.
To view the tutorial for the postcards, visit HERE.
Thank you for stopping by today.
See you tomorrow with a special nativity.
Hugs,
Celestina Marie

Beautiful décor, Celeste. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and joy in the new year.
Celeste, your home is beautiful and magical all aglow! Your postcards are such a great idea too! I love your sled with the lighted wreath and ice skates- very welcoming! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hi Celeste! Oh, your entry is just beautiful! I love your postcards on your wreath! Love your sled and I need some skates! I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas!

Really beautiful, you have created you own little paradise! Hugs, Valerie
Great, great idea my friend. I am loving how you are sharing daily to give us ideas!
I had such fun yesterday. I went out to shops to window gaze and came home with more ideas than purchase, but that is OK because I created a wreath with what I already had at home. I had seen a beautiful small tinsel wreath that I was tempted to buy, but then I realized I had all the materials at home. I am SO thrilled about it because it looks pretty good. I will take pictures but unfortunately, all my holiday shares will be AFTER the fact! HAHAHAHA leave it to me to be late.
HUGS!
