Since I've done nothing really creative but decorate, I thought I'd share a few pictures as my way of wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
I filled my lantern with Shiny Brites this year, I love it so much at night when it's lit. Not sure how I didn't think about doing this before now!
I also filled an old tool chest with them, and it also glows wonderfully in the evening with the little lights all reflecting. I saw something recently where someone had made ornament holders out of little old oil cans, so I immediately had to try it, as I have a few. I love how it lets me highlight my vintage bells.
My cocoa station moved and expanded this year.
This guy just makes me laugh.
I wanted to do something with this precious old baby shoe.
A festive scene in my village
A corner of my kitchen. The snowman usually hangs outside as he's a lantern, but I'm enjoying him inside this year.
Hubby and I went to the Napa Valley for the day Saturday, and there's a store in St. Helena with this T Rex skeleton taking up most of it. We assumed it was a reproduction they bought for god knows what reason, but no, it's REAL. And available for 3.9 million if any of you are in the market for one.
His name is Roosevelt and he's sporting a sexy gold tooth. We were pretty tempted - if only our house were bigger.
I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday season with your families.
Thank you for sharing these lovely images/creations :) and believe that only in America you could find a T-rex just hanging around in a store lol. Holiday blessings to you and yours XXX
ReplyDeleteOh Terri I really enjoyed this post ..... I got slightly distracted for a while looking up 'shiny brites' …. Now I know :)
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so magical and quirky.... The cocoa station made me smile and I'd quite like to live in the lit up village!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

Hi Terri,
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed having a peek at your beautiful home decorations - the cocoa station is even better this year (even though I'm no longer on the cocoa I'd still love one in my kitchen!) and the Santa mugs are fab. I do so love your vintage style from that tiny adorable little shoe to the old tool box of shiny baubles and I love the term Shiny Brights, I've never heard it before but it's perfect to describe them! And wow, the dinosaur is definitely something I would want if my house was big enough - there's something fascinating about old bones, I've collected many over the years but found nothing that big in our local forest unfortunately!
Thank you so much for you visits to my blog and your kind supportive comments throughout the year. I hope you and your hubby have a wonderful Christmas and I hope you manage to sneak in a teeny bit of creative artiness over the holidays - your mojo is looking good if your home is anything to go by!
