French Cottage Christmas Basket
Welcome to Cloches and Lavender, Christmas is right around the corner. Today, I’m taking part in a Christmas wreath door hop set up by Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home. If you’re coming here after visiting Jann at Have a Daily Cup, welcome. I love Jann’s style with warmth and always many vintage pieces.
I am so honored and excited to be a part of this hop and to share our door dressed for Christmas.
Our home is French/French Country Cottage style, I wanted to keep it rustic. I purchased this basket last year from Ballard. I have been wanting this piece f or quite some time, so when it was on sale last year I grabbed it for a great price and free shipping. Who doesn’t love that?
I love this for its classic look and it allows me to have the option of not having your ordinary wreath all the time. Filling the basket with assorted greens from the garden center adds a natural feel that I love for Christmas.
The addition of birch branches, a deer antler and a few pinecones add character and charm to the simplicity of the greens. I carried this throughout our front porch this year and I’m loving it.
Be sure to come back for a visit when I show our front porch at Cloches and Lavender. I hope this will give you some inspiration to get your front door ready for Christmas and to welcome friends and family.
Please make sure you hop over to visit Welch House to see her pretty and simply door idea.
Your Ballard basket looks lovely on your door filled with greens, pine cones, branches, and antlers. This looks wonderful for Christmas and you can leave it up for winter as well.
Thanks so much Paula. If everything stays healthy I will keep it up. Beginning to visit everyone niw.
Have a great week
What a gorgeous arrangement. The touch of the bells and antlers is perfect. May your days be merry and bright!
Thanks Laura, yours too
Cindy this basket is wowsie and I love the greens and antlers and bells you put inside. It looks so pretty against your black front door. I might have to check out Ballards for a basket like this. I would like something like this that I could just change out the inside and not have to be fussing or storing a bunch of front door decor. Happy Tuesday. Have a great week.
Hugs,
Kris
Thanks Kris, I use it for every season now. So worth the money, it’s gorgeous and very well made.

Thanks very much. I have enjoyed using natural elements this year
Cindy, you had me at free shipping! 😉 What a beautiful arrangement. I love baskets on the door. They’re a nice change from traditional wreaths. Can’t wait to see the porch!
That’s why I love it. I still use wreaths on other doors around the house but love this on the front door
That’s a beautiful basket. So unique and adaptable to many seasons.
Love your front door!! That basket is soooo cute and so perfectly styled!! Looks amazing!!

I have been eyeing up that Ballard basket for awhile and it’s so nice to see it styled so beautifully! I love how yours turned out – so pretty! I also love your gorgeous door!

Thanks so much. Ballard has this on great sales during this time of year. It was great hopping with all of you.
I DO love a rustic basket, and yours is perfect filled with those evergreens and nature goodies. Happy Holidays, Cindy!
I love your pretty basket, and you have adorned it beautifully! What a warm welcome for your guests! Merry Christmas!!!
Your basket door decor is the perfect mix of rustic, classic and elegant. I love how you used the branches and antlers to one side instead of the center which is what I always do. I never would have thought to do that and yours looks so pretty. That basket is wonderful!
Thank you so much for joining the hop. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Amber it was fun. Thanks for having me.
Cindy
Love, love your basket! It really has unique style. And like everything you touch it’s beautiful!! Thanks for the sweet shout out!!
hugs,
