One Simple Decoration...

One simple decoration.
Brings joy and peace to this holiday season.
The angel is a metal yard stake that I simply did not want to set outside to rust.
Her metal post is way too boring so I merely took some graduated sizes of ornaments and stacked them on the metal post.
Now it is sitting in a lovely large vase in the dining room.
I not only love the simplicity of this decoration I love the jewel toned colors and the shimmery silvery color of the angel as she watches over us.
I like to think this angel is reminding us to stay calm and enjoy this holiday season for all the reasons it truly represents and not the commercial overdone frenzy and stress we sometimes get caught up in.
May each of you take time to relax and enjoy the simple things.
Happy Holidays...
