It is beginning to look like Christmas around my house. Our local Christmas festival was today and I am decorating the tree tomorrow. I like decorations but I never want my home to look like Pee-Wee's Playhouse. LOL! This is a short post to show you a few items I have made or bought in the last several weeks. I hope all of you are enjoying the holidays as well - share a favorite decoration you have made or bought. I LOVE Christmas.
I bought an old black purse, one just like my grandmother used to carry. The thrift store is full of old purses. I glued a small frame on the front (no glass) - leaving the top open with no glue and placed a Christmas card in the frame. I hung it on the wall and filled with flowers. I used a rubber band to connect the 2 clasp so it did not open to wide. It really gives a vintage feel. After Christmas I will put some other flowers and a picture of the family. It will work for all seasons and all holidays.
I filled my Tussy Mussy (Yes that is what it is called) with poinsettias. Just a little reminder of Christmas on the dinning room wall.
The above picture is the Christmas frame wreath I made for the front door. I was really pleased how it turned out.
The plant was a gift and I made it festive with Christmas picks and a couple of white candles in Dollar Tree candle holders. There is also a vintage candy dish on the table.
My favorite purchase is my Charlie Brown Christmas tree. I made quite a scene at Hobby Lobby when I discovered the 50th Anniversary tree. Peanuts is my all time favorite and our family always said it was not Christmas till a Charlie Brown Christmas aired. It plays the theme song. I am soooo thrilled.
Not only did I buy the tree, I found the - For Unto Us A Savior Is Born- wooden sign to put in front of the tree. I can just hear Linus explaining to the peanuts the true meaning of Christmas. This little tree has made Christmas 2015 one of my favorites.
