  • Just a shortie episode ( compared to most of my videos) to show you how we bring the loveliness of Nature into the house for our winter decor. It's easy, beautiful and costs nothing. This is the first in my December weekly series for the Christmas season.

    Love how you incorporate everything, even the peacock feathers! So beautiful! Everything looks so warm & festival, and you are right why should we just have flowers in the spring & summer! I make a potpourri at Christmas for family & friends that you simmer on the stove. You take 1orange(sliced), 3-5 cinnamon sticks, 1-2 sprigs rosemary, 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1 Tablespoon cloves, 2 tsp nutmeg. Fill pot w/water & simmer. This will fill your house will a wonderful, holiday aroma! Everyone looks forward to this every year! 🤗☃️

    I live in Montreal and since my daughter, living in California, can't come home this dreaded year I have sent her home made items from the garden . She has never had a Christmas without family and I hope it reminds her how much we love her. Love the tree.

I've never seen one with rosemary before. Here in Germany we make wreaths with fir and put four candles on top ☺️ It's called advent wreath and the candles are lit sequentially on the four Sundays before Christmas. Just made some with my grandma for a video, it was great fun ☺️

    Some years ago, I brought in a found bird nest for decorating...tremendous mistake. Had to have the whole house exterminated for lice and mites...talk about a mess. Won't ever do that again. Some kinds of greenery, etc., needs to be draped across a fence and debugged (water spray, and some other methods) before bringing into the house. I learned this the hard way. But, using nature for decor is still the best. Love it. The front door swag and chickenwire vine tree were absolutely beautiful

    This was so inspiring , Jeri. I have plenty of rosemary and holly to make something for Christmas.
    I've had my holly bushes about 10 years as well and it did take a long time to see the red berries.
    I thought it was because we had a drought the first year, but maybe not. I enjoyed seeing your wreaths.

    Merry Christmas Jeri. And thank you for the lovely gift of showing how you create such beautiful decorations for your home. These works of art are simple in the best sense of the term, easy to make, and free. The thing I always appreciate about your videos is that they are "real". You clearly LIVE with your creations. They are not "props" or pseudo antiques. They are real with the charm and patina that cannot be faked with chalk paint or other artificial surfaces that look so "cute" that they border on kitch. Your rooms are an extension of who you are and the HOME that you have created for yourself and your husband and that you share with us. Perfectly imperfect. Your videos are as comfortable and comforting as an old tweed jacket or flannel pajamas and large, loosely fitting cashmere socks on a winter day...a favorite book with a cup of tea or hot cocoa by a warm fire of apple wood in the hearth. I bid you peace, health, and warm fires with loved ones gathered in your home for your holiday season and throughout the coming year..

    Jeri, you must know more than I about it but there is probably no male holly bush nearby which is what your female holly bush needs to get berries. Watching you makes me miss my yard and garden. I have become a flower thief! Loved this video and look forward to the next.

    • @JeriLandersofHopalongHollow
      @JeriLandersofHopalongHollow  3 года назад +1
