HOLIDAY DECORATING AT THE BEACH?

Yes, I know I said I wouldn't decorate here since we will be having a snowy Christmas in Mammoth.  But, YOU try going to Rogers's Gardens and NOT getting in the holiday spirit.  This is our beach house mantel after a little visit to Roger's.

Roger's Gardens is a home and garden store on seven acres in Newport Beach, California.  It's filled with seasonal inspirational ideas such as...

Table settings
Holiday decor



Fresh floral arrangements

Garland and wreaths.  This is where I bought the fresh, square boxwood wreath.



And a huge outdoor garden

With the exception of the new wreath...


I used things I already owned and cut branches from our magnolia tree.  However, I kind of like the mantel without the magnolia leaves for a simpler look...



Should I keep the magnolia leaves?  Which look do you prefer for a beach cottage?

Thanks for visiting,
Mary Ann
