Rosemary,Ironstone and a Christmas mantle

November 25, 2012

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Can’t believe how fast the time is flying! Today I wanted to share my mantle.As with the rest of my Christmas decor I am keeping it simple.

I added a bit of silver and pine cones.I kept my ironstone pitcher from my fall mantle and added another for my fresh Christmas greens.

I am really enjoying my simpler look this year!
My inspiration comes from this beautiful magazine! Love the simplicity! I am anxiously awaiting the December issue! I am always inspired after reading this beautiful magazine!

As I was reading this issue I noticed a rosemary tree.I have never seen one but was determined to find one for my home this year.I love the scent of rosemary too! I was wondering where I could find one.A beautiful blog I enjoy reading and follow is Alabaster Rose Lifestyle. Melinda shared a rosemary tree she found at trader Joe’s ! I was thrilled to here this! And today while I was out I stopped by and picked one up.Did I say how much I love the smell of rosemary! One of my favorites next to lavender.

I just added this to my ironstone tureen.I may have to replant this.But for now it works.And fingers crossed it will survive.I don’t have much of a green thumb when it comes to indoor plants.And this is really meant for outdoors but can handle the inside for a bit too.Any suggestions of how not to kill this are welcome!

    Your little rosemary tree looks cute, but don’t look to me for suggestions on keeping it alive! I’m no green thumb, either, when it comes to keeping indoor plants alive. Your white and silver decorating scheme is very fresh looking and will take you well into the winter. Well done.

    No suggestions here but did want to say how beautiful it looks in your tureen. I had one last year but it did not live long. I enjoyed it though while it lasted. Your mantle is gorgeous. I am really enjoying the ‘simple look’ that seems to be very popular this year. I am keeping it simple this year, also. Deb

    Everything looks lovely. One year I bought a rosemary topiary in downtown Houston and drove home – it was 100 degrees and the smell in my car gave me a huge headache. It was lovely though!

    I’ve been looking for a rosemary tree, too. I’ll have to check out Trader Joe’s. I love that you put yours in a tureen. Looks so pretty and Christmasy!

    Hi Anne, when I was at Lowe’s I saw the rosemary trees and I came very close to buying one but I managed to kill the last one I bought real quick. :(. Love the fresh greens in your ironstone pitchers. I use my pitchers for flowers all the time. They are my favorites. I think it’s the white with the color that makes it just look so fresh and clean. I just started on my decorating today. I need to get busy and finish as there are lots of blog parties to join. Have a super great week Anne. xo

    I love your new Christmas decor this year! Your mantel is elegant and serene dressed in simple silver and white. I, too, am waiting on the December JDL issue. Can’t wait to get it! I love it, but just wish it wasn’t so expensive.

    Hi Anne, no idea on the rosemary but it is a heavenly scent indeed. I am just crazy over that magazine, Jeanne D’ Arc. I was just talking to some gals today about how mesmerizing we find the photography in that magazine. I agree. It’s a great read with a ton of eye candy.

    Hi Anne,
    Love your vignettes and so happy you found your Rosemary tree, I find them every year at the holiday season at almost all my local markets, as well as lowes.

    Thank you dearly for gracing your beauty over at my place, it is always great to meet and see new faces and best the comments they leave. I am so going to enjoy getting to know you so much better.
    I too love JDA magazine Jeanne d’Arc Living is the force behind why I create the way I do in JDA style, it is a breath taking inspiring magazine and I never tire of the look and all it inspires.

    I am waiting for the December issue as well, the November one had a lot of holiday Christmas and the December will even be that much better.

    Hope to see you soon,
    Xx

    I saw one at the grocery store before Thanksgiving. Since we were going to be gone, I decided to wait until this week to get it. I hope it’s still there, especially since we won’t have a full sized tree this year. It’s my MIL’s table that’s in the way, next year, we’ll have room.

    Your decorating is really lovely! The TJ’s rosemary tree is wonderful! I remember seeing those last year and wanting one. When the holidays are over, I’d put it In a pot of soil and give it sun exposure. We have two rosemary plants outside in the ground currently and they are strong – last almost all through winter! My paper whites I keep near a good lit window, but never in harsh direct sunlight. I can’t wait to see them bloom!

    I adore your darling bob haircut in your profile pic 🙂

    Your rosemary tree in the ironstone pot is a perfect decoration for winter (and the rest of the year)! I love all white at Christmas, but I usually have to put pink somewhere…I just can’t help myself!

    I was excited to find the rosemary myself this year. I bought two for my kitchen table and love them. The only note I have about them is what I read on the instructions enclosed. It said to make sure to water them everyday. It said once they begin to dry out, then there is not much you can do for them.

    Love your beautiful mantel. I tried to go simple, but not sure I succeeded. lol

    The rosemary bush looks perfectly at home in the tureen Anne.
    Rosemary grows like a weed here in Australia and is very hardy and drought tolerant. I hope yours does well too.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
