We do not have a fireplace so I decorated the tops of my armoires. On this first picture, I intertwined white lights into grapevine and put in large Christmas balls.
This one just has lots of glittery stuff in it, and some white bally things which I loved. They were little wreaths from the Dollar Tree I cut in half. I got the glittery stuff and the balls from a nice shop in town after Christmas. The last 3 or 4 years, I've just asked Shane for $$$ to shop the sales after Christmas.
Fun Fact: Our first year of marriage I decorated our garland and our Christmas tree with citrus fruit slices. Lemons, Limes, & Oranges tied with Raffia. I wanted to top the tree with a Pineapple but couldn't make it sit still without my help.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love all the glitter, and I sooooo love the oversized ornaments! Great job!
I love the idea of decorating with fruit! Thank you for sharing your garland. We don't have an armoire, but next year, I may decorate the top of our bookshelves too!
WOW! I love how full and luscious your garland is! And those HUGE ornaments! I have a few of them! Aren't they the BEST! You did an amazing job!
I knew I wanted to tell you how luscious your garland was, and then as I read the other comments I see that I'm not the only one who felt that was the perfect adjective. Just beautiful!
Love those "Whoville" ornaments! Wherever did you find them? Do tell!
When I went to China and checked out the Guangzhou gift ware show, I saw lots of those beautiful, glittery "feathers" you used. LOVE that look :)
Very cool.
How did you cut a Dollar Tree in half?
Thanks for stopping by "Choose Joy". I love your garland and all the lights. I don't have a mantle OR any cool armoirs, but try to do what I can with what I have. Anyway, if you look back further in my posts, my father in law passed away just Saturday and he was an Oliver man. This was a spray at his funeral. It even had Oliver christmas bulbs in it! I like it that many of my decorations have meaning! Stop by again. Carol
Will you come do my fireplace? That looks awesome!
