Well, I have finally decided to throw caution to the wind and decorate my orange and yellow house with red and green this Christmas. This radical move came about because of my (admittedly somewhat desperate) desire to demonstrate the reasoning behind my vast and inexplicable collection of red, polka dotted mushrooms. So, I have several gnomes, who have graciously agreed to play the part of elves, lots of pine cones, some little forest-y type animals, and– voila! We have a magical “Woodland Christmas”! Well, actually it’s more of a “Deadly Poisonous Mushroom Christmas”, but I like the way it turned out anyway.
Enjoy, and have yourself a merry little Christmas!
I chose this chandelier because it had tons of space to hang junk on!
I made my mushroom tree topper out of that old trusty stand-by, the famous toilet paper tube, and a paper bowl turned upside down.
I didn't have a Christmas-y tablecloth, so I used wrapping paper down the center of the table. My kind of clean-up!
I cut the icicles (on the mantel) out of sparkly wired ribbon. It was a nightmare. I recommend doing it with either crepe paper or regular paper dipped in glitter.
I love the little elves on swings-- I just got them at an antique mall here in town.

I have been collecting pixie elves over the past two years now, and your pictures are giving me ideas on how to display mine! Love it!
