I love these log tea light pillars...click the pin for a tutorial!  I'm going to be trudging through the woods soon for my own logs!

How awesome is this whimsical mantel?!   I love everything about it...the barn door, the letters, the star, the felted wool ball garland...darling!

I hope you're taking some time to slow down and really enjoy this Christmas season!
