CHRISTMAS DECOR: Natural Sparkle

Someone help me!<br><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Please!</span></div><br /></div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /><br></div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />I have to admit I rearranged furniture a little this year to make room for the tree and accommodate my holiday decorations. Sometimes the 'stuff' in our house gets in the way of our Christmas decorating, but most of it looks better with a little Christmas touch or two and that very 'stuff' can become part of a beautiful holiday focal point.</div><br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br><br /> <br><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><br /><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtr5P0LrVYSCFIYu_g4xGbh-C6JIy0qazeEfEZ0dnNvnu53tqBIxDnyrzMdhYbOVNtC3rZDUSxEkUNtz_xzGpD2Zge4U3zHr8DichxMvLHkXOl8rnBrsQJCh4h6uegBWjFgDOJsLSfUBA/s1600/IMG_1031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtr5P0LrVYSCFIYu_g4xGbh-C6JIy0qazeEfEZ0dnNvnu53tqBIxDnyrzMdhYbOVNtC3rZDUSxEkUNtz_xzGpD2Zge4U3zHr8DichxMvLHkXOl8rnBrsQJCh4h6uegBWjFgDOJsLSfUBA/s640/IMG_1031.JPG" width="444px"></a></td></tr><br /><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><em>vintage trophy with holiday greens and berries</em></td></tr><br /></tbody></table><br /><br><br /></div></div><a href="http://yournestdesign.blogspot.com/2010/12/christmas-decorating-natural-sparkle.html#more">Read more »</a>
