A Romantic Mirror

Hello everyone!

I don't know what the weather is in your hometown, but in mine, it is downright mild and warm!  It feels like it's Spring outside (minus the pretty flowers and green grass).  I've even got allergies right now too.  Who knew?!  

But, I'm not going to complain about it because it really is gorgeous weather and who doesn't like that?  So, what if I won't be getting a white Christmas and I'll be wearing short sleeves during the day?  This is the south afterall!  

But enough about that.  I wanted to share a new gorgeous mirror that I picked up at Hobby Lobby the other day while it was half price.  I have been coveting this mirror for some time and I finally got the nerve up to buy it!  I decided to hang it above my fireplace (where everything new seems to go at first).  So, that meant a few changes to my Christmas decor as a result.  This may be the 3rd time I've changed this mantel this month.  But whose counting?  

Well here she is in all her new finery.

I almost didn't want to put the pom pom wreath on it because it's too pretty to cover up.  But, I did.  It is Christmas and I do love my pom poms, don't I?  

Speaking of pom poms, did you notice my new pom pom garland?  Well, it's actually called wool felt ball garland but it looks like pom poms to me.  I love the daintiness of it.  

I found it on Etsy and decided it wouldn't compete too much with the stockings so I used it on my mantel.  I really love it!  

Now, back to my new mirror.  Here is a close up.

It's huge and very heavy!  I decided to just prop it up.  I didn't use any greenery next to it because I didn't want to cover up it's curvy lines at the bottom.  

Now, I know I just had the cow picture that my sister gave me hanging up here before Christmas. But don't worry, it is hanging in another nice spot in the house.  I will share that another time.  I wouldn't dare part with it!  

This mirror is a hard color to describe too.  It's more of a champagne cream to me.  I love how the edges of the scroll marking are darkened too for contrast.

Oh and one more good thing happened recently!  I finally got my slip covered sofa delivered to replace the upholstered one they sent out by mistake last time.

Now, I can relax more about this sofa since this one isn't being returned.  I am anxious to get another one now to replace my old sofa.  

Well that is about it!  I hope that you are winding down for Christmas like I am.  It will be here next week!  I'm ready to start the fun stuff now like baking and looking at Christmas lights.  

Thanks for stopping by.
