Christmas in the Heart of Texas(9)
Christmas in the Heart of Texas
"Nothing forced or fake" might be the decorating mantra for Lisa and Jerry's home at Christmas. The stockings at the kitchen fireplace were made by Lisa's grandmother, as were the felt camels on the cut-cedar centerpiece. The old iron chandelier was scooped up at the nationally popular Texas Round Top Antiques Fair.
