~little christmas vintage car~

hello friends, thanks for hanging in there with me!

November was market mania month and now we are right on into Christmas….

I wanted to show you one of my favourite little vignettes this Christmas.

I have had my eyes out for a long time for a vintage truck, red or green or white, to use at Christmas. Haven’t found one yet {let me know if you find one for me!}

But I did come across this vintage car from the 50s, and well, it is green and white and has red taillights. That works!

The plan was to tie this tree on top of the car, as if we were on the way home from the tree farm, but it just didn’t work with this car! The tree just would not stay on top of the car.

 Which is kinda what our tree looked like last weekend by the time we got home, hanging off the back of the van!

So I added a vintage shiny brite and created a little tree farm vignette instead. 

Yes, that is my chippy aqua door you see in the background, love it so much I decided just to incorporate it into the Christmas decor this season!

Sometimes the little vignettes are the most fun to play around with!

 Hope your Christmas plans are going well, I’m off to finish some shopping and decorating, then hi-ho, it’s on to the gingerbread men

I love decorating with vintage ornaments, and am really enjoying all the creative handmade ornaments that are showing up this Christmas. I'll be showing you a few more of the vintage themed ornaments I made this year very soon! Promise!

shiny vintage ornaments, isn't this a neat way to display them? I also like them heaped in a big ol' tarnished silver bowl.

 I just went out clipping more greens and holly, and tomorrow we plan to cut our tree and do some baking.

'Tis the season!

This year I'm using some of the same "props", but changing it up a little, so I'll post some updated photos once I'm done, it involves cool rusty funnels and an old red toolbox!

Hope you have some fun things in store this weekend!

~mantles and mercury glass~

i started off the season with the mantle all decked out with greenery like this

it looked great.....for a while

but then it dried out and started dropping needles everywhere.....

and because i am lazy/busy/don't like vacuuming efficient

i decided to change it up

Target had the best tinsel this year, thick and luxurious

so i added white tinsel, which i love with the white frames and silver accessories

mercury glass candlesticks

cute glittered bird - how do you like her unusual perch!

and shimmery silver ornaments tucked in

simple and maintenance free!

and here's a peek at my other mantle

the nativity in all its simplicity and truth
