Displaying Holiday Cards
We love receiving holiday cards from family and friends. It’s the time of year to catch up on people’s lives and each and every card is opened with great anticipation.
Instead of putting all the cards into a bowl or basket, we like to hang them where they can be seen.
The butler’s pantry, which sits between the dining room and breakfast room has the perfect window which looks out to the northern part of our property. In order to get to the kitchen from the front door, you need to walk through this sweet room and therefore, placing the cards here makes perfect sense.
Ballard Designs sells this button garland, called Marianna Button Garland in a set of 3 – 9 foot sections for $35.00. The wafer-thin buttons are made of capriz shells and are softly iridescent.
One 9 foot section fit perfectly around this small window.
A small hole punch to the corner of the card, add string and it is ready to hang!
This location is also the perfect place for my Santa/reindeer folk art balance toy.

Just a reminder that any words that are italicized bring you to the source. If it is a product on Amazon, please note that I am an Amazon Affiliate. If you purchase something through my website, I receive a small (very small!) stipend, which doesn’t affect the price you pay at all. My goal is to make sourcing the items easy for you. Thank you for your continued support.
Love, Love, Love this. I just put mine in a basket.
