While the greenery isn't from my garden, the Nandina berries are

Each Dec members of the Home Depot Garden Club use Christmas tree trimmings the garden center saves for us. It's always a lot of fun...we bring goodies & mulled cider to drink and snack on and of course the store has Christmas music playing.

My 91 year old mother really enjoys this....she is working on a greenery basket for her hallway. In the background I am selecting greenery for my mailbox arrangement.



Here's momma's basket.....the poinsettas are live minatures, a gift to all the members from HD.


and here's the mailbox - two views...and no, the posts are not crooked, the photographer is





I hope all this downhome decorating stuff isn't boring to you. Thanks for looking.

What - Home Depot sponsors garden club and gives you trimmings and a gift??

Delightful decorating. It's a nice idea and looks like you were having fun. Pretty basket too!

You both did a beautiful job!
You have a nice HD...we don't! We have a great Lowes but HD is pathetic here.
Are you sure those posts aren't crooked?

Loving it all. Great jobs.

Beautiful work - both of you.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks ladies......and yes, our local Home Depot sponsores the garden club. They are a great sponser too. I didn't know if the other ones did the same thing or not......apparently not!

GaKaren - the posts are definitely not crooked, but the way the bank curves there at the driveway and the angle I was shooting from certainly make them appear so.

VE, there isn't much in your neck of the woods that is flat! And I sure hope you realized that I was teasing you!
I've got some pics that came out like that too...it's all in that so important angle!

You both did a great job! Love your country mailbox setting.

You know what's missing? Hmmm SNOW! Imagine how pretty that looks in snow! :>)

Very nice work ladies!

So, so pretty and what a perfect spot for it! Thanks for sharing vera!!

GaKaren, how right you are, and yes, I knew that you were kidding.

Muddy - snow does hide all the flaws and makes everything around here pretty. Snow is just something that is rare.....if we get an inch it's a major event and we love it!


Thanks Ladies.

Great job. Beautiful arrangements from you and your mother.

Boring? Never Vera. Enjoyed it all!

Thanks Ladies - Merry Christmas.

Vera, how lucky you are to still have your mother! Is that your mother in the photo? How's your grandson doing? Hope he's mending well! How pretty that mailbox is!!! I love rural settings. I agree, it would be gorgeous in the snow!! I will gladly give you some of ours (when we get it) to decorate all around your house and MAILBOX of course. I'll send it EXPRESS, overnight delivery! Interested?
