Oh Christmas Tree

I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We sure did. We went to my sister's in law and on Thanksgiving Day, to my daughter's. My grandson and his wife were here and I enjoyed them tremendously!!

Today, I'm sharing our Christmas Tree. I saw it on display at Lowe's prior to Thanksgiving and actually bought the display. Since it was already assembled and "fluffed", I went ahead and put it up and decorated it.

Here it is with mostly new ornaments from the Dollar Tree, where they had so many pretty ones this year.

This ornament is three dimensional on both sides. So nice!!

This one is full of bling!!

Some came two to a set. Love these two above!

The angel wings came in pink, white, silver, gold.

I really like the new tree. It's not that much larger than my other one, but the greenery is more realistic. I plan to take my old one to the lake house. I have one there, but it's very small.

No shortage of reindeer this year, on the tree or in our yard!!

The gardenias are clip on, but I just have the hydrangeas lying on the branches.

I'll be sharing various rooms in the house, and will also do a full tour. If I can figure out how, I might do that on video then y'all can hear how southern/country I sound!! Hope you are getting the Christmas spirit, and in the mood to bring out some Christmas decor.

Have a fabulous week, everyone!

Kathy

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!

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 ...
