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.

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently.  But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better.  I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final.  I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk  about it quite yet.  But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me.  I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"!  Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never  happen.  ...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...

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 ...
