I found the big snowflakes at a Flea Market this fall. You can certainly tell that they were vintage by the old yellowed price tag and the mellowed, creamy color of the glitter.They were a dollar each. I wish that I had bought all twenty of them instead of just ten. Isn't that always the case?
Kept it simple on the mantel with herbs and chalkboard pots. The stockings will go up this week.
Mr. CG just got the mantel up recently and it doesn't have a finish on it yet. Just picture it stained or painted, k?
This is the second year I've had this nativity. I found it new in the box at a garage sale. I just love it because there is a scripture verse on each piece. This probably will get a little greenery and lights around it before it's all said and done!
Dining room buffet and chandelier adorned with greenery and sparkle.
More silver and greenery.
The hutch in my kitchen is decked out in traditional red and green. Along with some velvet deer that I bought last year after Christmas.
These Santa mugs are dated 1960 on the bottom. We don't drink out of them but I love 'em anyway! Next to them is my Mother's pitcher. I remember having Iced tea out of it as a child.
lets see i love the button garland, the greenery and silver that is dear to my heart.... actually love it all.. wishing you happiness and joy!

Everything is beyond beautiful, Tanya. So inspiring, too, and creative. Best is the button garland you made from your Mother-in-laws Mother's buttons. It all looks so cozy and warm. And then there are all the white things, and the red dishes, Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! xoxo Lidy
