A friend of mine, who I have to say I've never met but we've become great friends through the miracle of the Internet, has proven to be a big decorating inspiration to me. She lives on a ranch in southwest Texas, in a lovely rock home that has been her family for many generations. She is wonderfully talented for using indigenous materials to decorate her home. The photos I'm posting due her no justice, but I've had a downloading malfunction so bare with me.
I tried to copy her idea this year by taking a large, shallow, wooden bowl and placing antlers, leftover pine sprigs and pine cones in it with a ribbon garnish. She used fresh apples and pine cones, which I think is a better idea.
My version of my friend, Shawn's, centerpiece - I like hers better |
I used an old Hereford Association trophy to make a floral display and added ribbon for the holidays |
I gathered rosemary from my backyard and made something to hang over the door so my husband can complain about it every time he walks in the door. falalalala |
I am sparing you anything made with bandannas or barbed wire.
And I would love to hear ideas you have as well!!!

Yes ma'am. You said it.
We have ALCO, should we drive to Alpine... :/
You are doing better than me. I have a Christmas tree, thats all. And I just haven't felt like getting very creative this year, being the state I'm in and chasing after the boys.
Those are good ideas though, I'll keep them in mind for next year.
Love the antler idea! I surely have enough of those hanging around. I wonder why one man needs so many antler sheds? ;)
I placed a santa hat on the deer head that hangs in my living room, attatched a big, red bow to a rope, which I hung outside. And that was about as far as my creativity went! Other than a tree and nativity of course. ;)
I love this post! And your blog! It's nice to know I'm not the only one out there who lives on a ranch in the middle of now where!
