Vintage Angel Tree Toppers

We braved the freezing cold yesterday and went to the auction....I think the high for the last few days has been around 15 degrees!   Brrrrrr!  

I bought three beautiful angel tree toppers for.....

Lace & Satin Christmas Trees

Some of you may remember the tree I made last year for our bedroom out of vintage wedding gowns....well, this year I decided to make two lace and satin trees!  One for each side of the fireplace!  

Decorating for Christmas on a Budget



Is your Christmas decorating budget getting tight????    I know mine is!   I found a very inexpensive way to add some touches of Christmas to our home for very little money....

Pink Elf on a Shelf

After a long,  hard search....I finally found an elf with some pink on his suit!   I guess one is all you need, but I sure wish the store would have had a couple more!

Cupcakes for Breakfast?

I love to set a pretty table for our meals...don't you!  I found some of the cutest cupcake dishes to match the cupcake theme in our kitchen! 

Santa Loves the Ballet

I worked some Christmas magic on this white cabinet that is in the entry way.  The other two walls in the entry way are decorated in a Nutcracker theme...but, sadly... I've used all my Nutcrackers in other vignettes.    So....I will have to make do with what I already have!

Christmas in Paris

Christmas in Paris...wouldn't that be wonderful!   Well....I hope we can go sometime, but for this year...going to the Powder Room will have to do...lol!   I have had a Paris theme in our Powder room for a couple of years now, and I'm still not tired of it.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

The "girls" are having so much fun decorating the tree in our bedroom!  Some of you may remember this tree from last Christmas....the one I made from vintage wedding dress's .....

Carousel Horse Christmas Tree

I had so much fun decorating our Carousel Horse Christmas Tree!   It is definitely for the "young at heart"....but, mostly for our 6 year old grand daughter that stays with us 2-3 days a week.    The white tree is on a rotating stand, so it gives the illusion that the horses are going around the tree.

Santa Loves "Milk" Glass & Cookies

I have been collecting Santa's dressed in white for a good number of years....I also collect pink ones too....surprise!  (to no one!)   I had these white Santa's on a pink tree in the family room last Christmas, so this year I wanted to do something different with them.

The Snow Lady & Bob

Meet Bob...our bobtail cat!  We named him Bob because he doesn't have a tail...never did!  Bob was jealous of the photo shoot that Sweet Pea had in the snow the other day, so I told him it was his turn today!

Christmas Sand Tart Cookies

We woke up to our first snow and it was beyond gorgeous!   We decided to stay warm in the kitchen baking some Christmas cookies...

Winter Wonderland

Let it snow....let it snow....let it snow!
 We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning...H measured 8" in a lot of places!   He is worse than a kid, the first thing he wants to do is go out and play around in the snow!  He is originally from New York and was raised around snow, but he's been in New Mexico 47 years and it's a BIG deal around here to see this much snow.

Shabby Christmas Stockings & Putz Houses

"The stockings were hung....."     I never met a shabby, romantic, victorian  stocking that I didn't like....so, over the years I have collected quite a few.  

Sneak Peek at our Christmas Tree

I wanted to share just a little "sneak peek" of the Christmas tree I have been working on today.  I like to look at each ornament and remember past Christmas's....needless to say,  it takes me a long time to decorate a tree!
