Old Sewing Drawer Decorated for Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We sure did.  My daughter and her family ate with us yesterday, and we at with them today.  She lives nearby so that makes it so much easier.

 I have been busy decorating for Christmas.  I've done all I plan, except for the tree.  We use a small tree now, and I'll probably get it up tomorrow.  I'll be sharing everything for the next several days (maybe weeks)!

 I was anxious to decorate the old sewing machine drawer I bought recently at Queen of Hearts. 
It sits on the bookcase in the dining room.  I removed the fall decor, and added 2 large styro foam snowflakes, a garland of red beads, two bunches of silver grapes, some holly and pine cones, and a Christmas card from last year.  I love the way it turned out. 





The door I distressed stands behind the bookcase.  I added some burgundy ribbon to the burlap wreath, and hung this little snow man stocking.
This is one of my favorite spots to decorate.  I'll be back soon with more decorations to show you!  I'd love to see what you have done.  Leave me a comment, and I'll pop over to your place and return the favor!  
I'll be partying at
Be sure to stop by!  You'll be glad you did!

    What a great idea. I love the sewing machine drawer and how you've filled it full of holiday pretties. I'm going to borrow this idea for sure.

    Such a lovely idea. The old sewing drawer is gorgeous in design.
    I think it makes a perfect vignette for decorating. It is all decked so beautifully,

    What a pretty vignette in the drawer! We went to an architectural salvage place and I stood there with a $5.00 drawer in my hand. Should have bought it!

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. ...

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 ...
