Christmas At Our House!

I finally got some decorating done!  It’s always so much fun to pull the Christmas décor out of storage each year.   Lots of pics. to follow.

I added a few things to my table

an ornament shaped chalkboard that I embellished with buttons

Hung in the dining room

This turned out to be one of my favorite vignettes.  Inspired by my bird collection

this was fun.  someone gave me a bunch of (free) vintage goodies like old buttons, rick rack, etc. last week and I mixed in some of my vintage ornaments with them

Love the graphics on those buttons!

My mantel.  No one does reproduction vintage better than Cody Foster!  The cards are from my Nanny’s card collection. 

More vignettes

Angels and snowflakes waiting for the perfect Christmas home.

Like Debra, I LOVE paper whites.  Unfortunately I have to confess that mine are silk! 

Another one of “the girls”

    Your Christmas decor blends in beautifully with your home. I'm sure after the holidays come and go, there are still some decorations that get overlooked for awhile. I've done that before -- found Christmas decorations in March because they blended in so well. Happy holidays to you and yours. Tammy
