This is my first post and I'm clueless about what I'm doing...but ready to give it a shot.
Here's our family room mantel all decked out for Christmas.
It's a mix of silver pieces, Byer's carolers, and real greenery that I snagged (for free) from a local Christmas tree lot. The silver pieces are from auctions, ebay and antiques stores; the plate is from Replacements, Ltd in North Carolina; and four of the six carolers were gifts from my husband's aunt and uncle.

The plate was purchased at Replacements, Ltd while on a trip to Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina. They have a wonderful showroom with a countless selection of silver pieces, dishes and glassware. The holly lights were a purchase at Restoration Hardware years ago.
A scrabble Merry Christmas on top of the fireplace door frame.

Congratulations on your first post! Of course you know I adore your mantel. Everything is so well thought out. The snow you add to your decorations is the perfect touch and I am stealing your idea.
