Have always loved robins and cardinals in Christmas decorations and swags are a true classic......Hugh keeps us all in the know so no need to worry about being a decorating pariah.....your mantle is Christmas perfect! never been to a Harolds, but I once bought a few things at a dollar store called Fred's!......Our Lindt snowman and teddy bear are under the tree as well as our very special first gift from dear friends......I am certain those lovely decorations are worthy of the most posh London townhouse.....never cared for stags heads at all!....Dianne
