Christmas Open House

While in South Georgia over the weekend, I not only browsed through the thrift shops, I went into a "high-end"  interiors shop.  It was absolutely gorgeous.  They were preparing and decorating for yesterday's Christmas Open House.  I didn't dare become too obvious with my trusty cell phone camera, but I did snap a few shots for you.  I will be linking to Marty at A Stroll Through Life for Tabletop Tuesday.  I hope you enjoy this little taste of Christmas.

See the pretty tabletop display below.  I love the pottery pieces and the lamp.


The picture doesn't do justice to the bookcases.  They were gorgeous.

I will be using the idea of the wreath on the mirror in my home this Christmas.  I bought the hooks today, so I am all set.  Can't wait to decorate, but am trying to wait until after Thanksgiving.  Do you notice the Merry Christmas tucked into the greenery on the sofa table?  So pretty.


This Christmas tree was one of the flat ones with only clear lights and the bow.  It was so elegant.  The ribbon is about a foot wide.  Gotta try this too!

This chippy table reminded me of Kim at Savvy Southern Style's work.  So pretty.

See, now I have carried you along on my visit to this wonderful shop.  I will be back in that area next week, and I most definitely will visit them again.  Hope I can get a few more pictures to share with you.

    That was a nice little tour.

    Do you need special hooks to hang a wreath on a mirror? I'd like to try that too.

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. ...

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 ...

Decorating Slump

I have absolutely had the hardest time deciding on how to decorate the dining room table for Thanksgiving.  I am not satisfied with anything I've done.  I'll show you the latest in a long string of 'tries'. Anyway, this is the latest try.  I bought six of these chargers at Dollar Tree, at $1 each.   I layered with this dinner plate and salad plate purchased from Wal Mart several years ago. I stopped there.  No decision yet on silver, glassware, or placemats/napkins.    I have the drop cloth/burlap runner I made last week on the table. I brought out this lovely cake stand bought at Good Will for $4.99.  It is centered on the runner.  I like the contrast between the leaded glass and the runner.  I placed the arrangement I made a few weeks ago on top of the cake stand. I added the two white candle sticks with white candles, leaf garlands, 2 small ceramic pumpkins around the cake pedestal, and stopped. I have to decide on ...
