You have seen this chalkboard several times, but I just recently realized that I never shared how I made it! You first saw me use it on my Christmas mantel with my music page wreath hanging in front of it. Then it came back out again for my Valentine’s mantel. But for now, it’s place […]

Rhoda is having a Christmas vignette linky party over at Southern Hospitality and it just turns out this little area on my hearth is my favorite vignette this year. What’s a vignette you ask?
