Christmas at Shadymont

I finished some of my Christmas decorating over the weekend and will link to Tabletop Tuesday hosted by our dear friend Marty.  Thanks again Marty for inviting all of us over. 

Be sure you stop by and join in the fun.  You'll see some awesome ideas for dressing your home for Christmas.

This is a shot of the mantle.  Don't you love the butterflies?


This is a corner in the dining room.  My plate rack is all ready for Christmas.
  
Here is a close-up of the acorns.

A shot of the dining room table.  Excuse the color.  The reds are much deeper than they appear.  The green glasses belonged to my MIL.  Does anyone know anything about these glasses.  I have a feeling they may have been included with Laundry detergent or something like that.  They have no markings and are tall, slim cylinder type glasses. 


This is another view of the mantle garland.  The butterflies are from Lowe's.  They come 4 to a package for about $5.00 I think.  I love they way they dress up the garland.

This is my favorite display of all I have done so far.  This is on a chest in the family room.

This is a little niche in the hallway that can be seen from the foyer.  Just a collection of Christmas items.

I hope you have enjoyed this little tour of Christmas at Shadymont!  Come again soon!

    Beautiful Christmas decor. I don't know a thing about the glasses but they are truly lovely. I do remember when I was little and a prize of some sort would be in a box of detergent. I think gas stations also gave away free stuff with a fillup.

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale.   Consignmen

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They can all be seen
