Christmas Decorations

One of my favorite things about our Christmas holiday was our Christmas decorations. A couple handmade garlands and treasures found on the beach were all we needed to make the beach house merry.

Maria made a garland by hand knitting some yarn during our long road trip to Oregon.


Here it is displayed on the mantel.


Another garland was fashioned from strips of fabric, tied together. Driftwood, small rocks, feathers and shells were gathered from the beach. We simply tied hemp string around them to make ornaments.


Several pieces of driftwood delivered a happy message.


The perfect topper for a Christmas Beach Tree.



It was so much fun to create our own Christmas decorations and it made the season all the more jolly.
