Teal and metallics, a great holiday combination...

I just love the color teal and copper together, especially for Christmas decorating.  It reminds me so much of the beautiful desert southwest, and using  metallic copper, gold and silver just adds that special glitz for the holidays.  The pictures below are ones that I either found on Picasa, Z Gallery, two of my own, or other Internet decorating sites.  I particularly love the metallic glass bulbs hanging from the second level. I'm seriously contemplating trying to make them for the cathedral ceiling in my great-room, which I normally never have decorated in the past years.  My daughter and I have been going to Home Goods about every 3 or 4 days, they are constantly putting out new decorations, and they have so many unique beautiful items.  I don't know about anyone else, but it seems as though the holidays are coming so quickly this year, so...I think starting next week, I will begin putting up some of our Christmas decorations, and hopefully, to have them all up including the tree before Thanksgiving.
