Welcome to Fox Hollow at Christmas
I’m really excited to share our
Cottage Christmas Holiday Mantel with you.
It’s a little different this year.
We’ve got snowmen, a frosty garland,
candy canes and lots of ornaments.
Come See!
This frosty head Qt is the star of the show.
I just love him!
He got left in the box last year.
(I’m hope he doesn’t hold that against me?)
I went a little crazy with the ornaments..
I can’t help it.
I love the sparkle & shine!
I mixed my most treasured, vintage Shiny Brites in with the not so vintage ones and added them all over.
My tea stained rag doll has her very own little tree
and the newest seat in the house.
I bought this sweet little chair in Bandon, Oregon
a few months ago and I’ve been saving it for Christmas.
I just love the vintage, ticking stripe fabric.
This is our first Christmas since the
Fireplace Makeover and it’s a real treat
to get to decorate the hearth!
I might have went a little overboard?
Oh well!
I’ve actually been holding on to
a few things since Summer
and the vintage, RC Cola Crates
are also making their debut 
Jim and I picked the crates up at the city wide sale that was held in Myrtle Point over the Summer. Jim got some scaffolding, so we
were both very satisfied with our prizes!
It’s fun finally getting to use them.
I just knew they needed to be filled with ornaments.

So happy and beautiful, Shannon. i love your color combo too.
No way! I am in love with your mantel! I don’t even have words to express how cute it is! I love that snowman, that chair, the colors. You knocked it out of the park. I tried to work my Coke crate into my mantel, but no such luck. I should just copy what you did! Lol
Oh Shannon, I just LOVE the combination of red and aqua for Christmas, and you nailed it! So pretty, the mix of shiny with frosty, and cottage chic with homespun…so much to gaze at and enjoy!
How cute, Shannon! Love the red and aqua color scheme. So bright and cheerful! Just makes me smile.
Shannon, you outdid yourself with this one!! This is spectacular! Love the red and white, with the pops of blue. Everything looks so fun and festive! You made me smile!!!
Shannon your mantel looks FABULOUS! I love every inch of it!
This is so pretty! Love the colors and creativity

Oh, Shannon! It’s beyond perfect…so pretty and vintagy. I love the snowman head…he’s the start of the show for sure!
I love every inch of it! The colors, the sparkle, the left behind snowman
. It’s beautiful. Oh so pretty!!
Debbie
Oh my goodness!! I love the colors!!
I love everything!!! Beautiful job with the decorating!!
Jenn~
This is terrific! I love the ornaments mixed with the white and silver. So pretty!
Holy moly I love it all so very much!! I was swooning over your tea stained doll & the chair she was sitting in… And I scrolled to see that the chair is new.. I just love it. The RC cola crates…my goodness. My parents would always buy the RC cola & we’d have it on our camping trips. Nice job!
OMG … this is the cutest, happiest and most creative Christmas mantel ever, Shannon! I love it. The vintage Shiny Brights are awesome. And, I love that you mixed red and aqua together. I want to spend Christmas at *your* house!
So cute, Shannon! I love the doll with the tree on the chair. Just darling.
Oh, how sweet! I love all your little cute things and the colors you’re using!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia
Such fun colors and so much great bling! The little rag doll on the ticking chair is my favorite! Everything is beautiful!
I love everything!! The colors are so very happy and cheerful! Your snowmen are adorable and every little detail adds so much! I say there is no such thing as “overboard” at Christmastime!!!
Michelle
THAT is one of the sweetest, happiest looking mantles I have ever seen. It reminds me of smiles on children’s faces and puppy dogs with wagging tails- xo Diana
What a fun, bright, happy mantel, Shannon. Love it!
I’m sure you had a lot of fun putting it together.
Mary Alice
A really fun, happy look. You did good!
Shannon – your mantel is adorable! I love it all! I love the blue and red together – I have lots of it this year too. You did it soooo well!
Brenda
such a happy place! i love the color scheme!
To the no-reply comment blogger
The wall color is from Pittsburgh Paint and the shade is “Aqua Fiesta”.
PS-Just a reminder, if I did not respond to your comment, it is because I couldn’t.
Love the aqua and red. Everything is darling!! I have the same tall tin snowman with silver tinsel buttons! He looks cuter with your things!!
Karen
WOW! Love all those colors! I really like the white frame decked with candy canes! Hmmm…wonder if I can talk my hubby into buying a fireplace just so I can decorate the mantel!
First of all you can NEVER go overboard with Christmas spirit! Love
your fun colors. I am a big fan of Frosty and all things snowmen!
I love aqua and red for Christmas! Such a fun mantel!
Love the festive colors, Shannon! Thanks for the Hump Day eye candy!
xo Heidi
Shannon, it is gorgeous! I always love seeing your holiday decor!
Take care,
Trish
Shannon,
I am in love with your mantel! Every detail speaks to me in some way from the color scheme to the red and white gingham garland. The snowmen are adorable and the doll on the chair is precious! WOW!
Very pretty, Shannon! It has such a fun look to it. Besides, if you can’t go overboard at Christmas when can you! ; )
love love love the aqua pops with the red 7 white palette! Everything is so cute and you have such a knack for putting things together in unusual ways. Refreshing, different and delightful!
Jenna
How flipping cute is that chair with that tree and that doll and the touches of aqua. Like Debbie said it’s you and that makes it all so loveable.
Bliss
How beautiful! LOVE the color combination of the red/aqua and white! Love all the little details and string of candy canes!
Yay! I’m finally getting your emails! Love the aqua with the red…it’s one of my favorite combos. Your Raggedy Ann takes me back to my old business Threadbare Creations. I used to pump out raggedy anns and vintage-dressed dolls like clockwork. I saved a few raggedies, but they’re all boxed up.
Shannon, this mantel is fantastic, i love the colors and the touches with the snowman and the candy canes in the jar. Just beautiful
Cynthia
It’s all so pretty, but the rag doll is my favorite. I also like the color combination you are using.
You did it again girl, made me drool! lol! My favorite color combo in all it’s Christmas wonder. Love it all! Not too much for me. The chair and doll are so sweet. I did my mantel entirely different this year with a candy theme. Doesn’t hold a candle to yours. Thanks for helping to make my morning start out bright and cheery!
Hugs,
Jann
p.s. I would love if you would share this with Share Your Cup Thursday.
this is the prettiest EVER!!!!
Shannon…this is gorgeous! Lovin’ the vintage vibe and it’s beautiful against your aqua wall. If you can’t “overdo” it at Christmas…when can you?
Kelly
I so love this!!! LOVE IT! As my daughter says when it comes to crafting, you can never have to much, especially when there is Christmas involved! I am a big fan of overstated and more is better when it comes to holiday decorating. Love all your little Shannon colors mixed in there!
This is beautiful, Shannon. I love the colors that you have chosen, and your mantle is picture perfect. Megan
That is a whole bunch of sparkly cuteness right there, Shannon!! I love it!!
Holy Moly Shannon! It’s soooo pretty! And not overboard – JUST RIGHT! I love the combination of colors. Awesome! Makes me feel so Christmas-y!
It’s so, so fun and festive Shannon! I just love all the color and the red and aqua works beautifully together. Well done!
Vanessa
Shannon, I love your Christmas colors!!! They look so fresh and happy! Your mantle has a darling whimsical look! LOVE IT!
This is so pretty.
I agree, the red and agua looks wonderful together.
TFS.

Christmas is looking wonderful at Fox Hollow Cottage

I’m loving your color combination! So cute!
I could be in a vintage Christmas candy store looking at your mantel! I love it’s fresh look and bright colors.
Love that color combination! And love how your blog is all decked out for Christmas
Shannon,
Wonderful and FUN look you have here…great colors!!!
Blessings,
Linda
Love it!!! Merry and bright is a description that comes to mind!!
Of course I love your mantel because those are the same colours I used on mine! I love red and turquoise together. Your new chair and crates are having a right proper debut and I’m sure they are proud to be surrounded by such pretty vintage ornaments and sparkle everywhere. Love it all!
Love the color combo! It’s perfect….all of it! Love the RC crates, too! Might have to ‘steal’ that idea.
Wow! I think it’s gorgeous!! Love all the colours and the ball garland. Pamela
So pretty and I love all the color! Fun and stylish with so much great character!! Love the RC crates!!
So fun and colorful – love it!
Shannon!
Overboard is a good thing at Christmas! Love your color scheme – perfect for an aqua loving gal like you. And I want that RC crate – would go perfectly with my coke one!
Ho, Ho, Ho!
Kelly
Love the colors! I love red and aqua together anytime! I also love the little white “furry” balls that you put in with the ornaments! Too cute and whimsical!

I love red and aqua together. I decorate in those colors, too. (In fact, the color of your room looks just like the color of my room.) The candy canes are a great addition. I might have to add a few to my decor. Thanks for the idea!
It couldn’t be more playful and vibrant ~ I had to go through twice to see all the festive touches you packed in that space ~ truly fabulous job, Shannon!
It is just gorgeous my friend!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
OXOXXO
