3 More Days!

Can you believe it?  All the planning, all of the decorating, baking, cooking, gift wrapping...........To think that it will all be over in just a few short days!  Today I thought I'd share with you a few Christmas views thru out our home.
Everything looks better under a glass dome, don't you think?  I picked this ornament up a year or so ago, and just love the vintage feel to it! (though it is new)
You've probably seen my little curio cabinet before.  I really enjoy changing it out with the seasons.
 Bottlebrush trees.  (love!)
Vintage flower frog and a vintage post card, plus a bunch of faux greenery.
 Jelly jars (both vintage and new) filled with a few of my favorite vintage ornaments.



And an adorable little house!
Now for a few whimsical ornaments on the tree...........
 My aunt made this adorable little angel.  Doesn't she have the sweetest face?
 And dog lover that I am, I adore this little doggy angel!
 I had originally purchased the above ornament for a gift, but loved it so much I decided to keep it myself!!  It's a doggy snowman!
 You can't really tell from this photograph, but this cute little dog has a bone dangling above him!!
 Now this little guy makes me smile each time I look at him!  See what he is?  A S'more!!!  And since we are avid rv-ers, check out his hat, and his little blue retro trailer!  Cute, cute, cute!!
 And last of all, I will share with you a few shots in our sunroom.  Aren't these poinsettias pretty?  Usually we just buy one at the most, but I thought it would be pretty to fill our wire planter with them.  Can you believe that I have since killed all but one of the plants??!!  And I actually think I have had a pretty green thumb!!  So next year it will be faux for sure!!!!!
 I brought my little angel in for the winter.  Isn't she cute?
And my concrete dog got into the act with a little fresh greenery wreath.
Oh, we had some visitors to our backyard this morning.


What a treat it was to see!
That's it for now, hope you are having a great day!

  5. I love your shelf Donna. Those bottle brush trees are so cute. I never see them around here. Love the poinsettias in that stand too. Mine isn't doing all that well. The stems seem really weak. Some broke off and just stuck them in a vase!
