Christmas came and went and so did my Christmas mantel. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebration.
Our Christmas celebration was filled with family, love, and praises to God. Now, our mantel is filled with vintage new year's hats, horns, and noise makers.
I left the starry night backdrop from Christmas on the mantel. I bought a box of vintage new year's hats from an estate sale years ago and they are displayed on the mantel.
I've always said that new year's décor is perfect for my "style", because it is wildly overflowing with junk fun, and it's okay to be cluttered and messy when you're celebrating the new year.
The banner is vintage new year's cards.
I had a hard time coming up with anything wild enough for our hearth for new year's décor. I ended up using the top piece and the bottom piece of a silver and pink aluminum tree that I use for Easter and Valentine's.
Our mirrored ball may not be big and it may not drop, but it gives us a reminder of the dropping ball in New York.
I removed the Christmas ornaments from the trees and "threw" New Year's décor on them.
It may be wild, but you have to admit, it's festive.
I'm so glad you came by to see how we will ring in the new year.

Happy New Year, Laurie.
Oh my word, I need your organization and energy. I am taking my Christmas down as we speak, just taking a little break. I have such a mess, and then I need to clean. I can't even begin to think about doing anything for New Years yet. Your mantel look amazing. Happy New Year.
Looks great Laurie, I need some of your energy! Loving your mantle for the New Year, it's giving me a lift that I desperately need.
Happy New Year!
After Christmas, I just don't have the strength! :-) We spend a quiet New Year every year.
Hi Laurie:
I haven't had the chance to comment or blog since I've been working full time but I always love to stop by your blog and see what's been happening.
I have been enjoying Instagram. It's much faster and gives me a little creative fix.
Happy New Year.

So much fun! I love the vintage cards and will now have to make a banner of my own like that. Happy New Year!
