Christmas is finally here!  Just in case you still need a few ideas, here’s what I scoured off of Pinterest this week.

Wreaths

This simple wreath could be constructed with just a few spare parts and ribbon from the tack room.  I love it. Idea courtesy of splendidsass.blogspot.com.

This example doesn’t even require “clean” tack. The rusty stirrup adds oodles of rustic charm.

This wreath even makes baling twine look good! Idea courtesy of horsecountrychic.blogspot.com.

While not technically a wreath, I am in love with this image of Christmas foliage in tall boots. Idea courtesy of savvysouthernstyle.net.

But my all time favorite find this year has to be the CARROT WREATH! What is better than a wreath that your equines can eat after the holidays?

Door Decor

It is a muddy, disgusting time of year for us horsey folk. So why not use those lost shoes for a little decor? Idea courtesy of sjarmerendejul.blogspot.com.

Gift Wrapping

I happened across this idea and just thought it would be fantastic for horsey gift exchanges. Two gifts in one? Score! Idea courtesy of equestrianstylist.com.

But above all else, just enjoy the holidays. Sometimes getting caught up in the minutia can be a bit… overwhelming. Merry Christmas!
