Ohhh I love boxwood!
Little boxwood topiaries~ love them even more.
There's something so fantastic about leafy green bits
A wreath or little potted plants or even boxwood garland.
Love.

I placed a trio of them on the sideboard
with a Joyeux sign that my daughter is making
(it's not finished yet but I am loving it)
and a couple candles

A wee rusty star to the top of one of them
and a couple silver ornaments bring a little Holiday cheer.
and a quick and easy vignette for the sideboard
a china hutch or nearly anywhere.
You will be seeing lots more of these cuties
I am loving them!
