Holiday Fun

Holiday Fun

Thanksgiving has come and gone and we have been having fun around the house.  

My sweet hubby bought me this really cute dish filled with succulents and holiday accents.  I added the vintage snowman topper.  

In the kitchen, my Tiffany has been busy.   She got to work making dark chocolate spoons, peppermint spoons, and snowflakes.  

We like to use silicone molds to make are goodies. 

Oh, and she made Teddy Bears!!!

And of course our spoons!

Next, we plan to make our macarons!  

Coming up more holiday decor.

Holiday Decor Part 2 - A Stocking Post

A Stocking Post

I have seen these beautiful stocking post on the internet and I decided that I would love to have one, so my sweet husband went to work. He made this using a 4X4, a post cap, and knob.  The base is made from 3 layers of wood that have been routered.  He added a baseboard that he also routered and then I went to work painting it.  I decided on white because it matches my family room decor and because I want to use the post year round for other things such as wreaths, flowers, etc.  

He added 4 hooks and then it was my turn to decorate it. 

Then I added some ribbon. 

Nest some stockings and a bow around the top. 

I love how it turned out and I am looking forward to using it in other ways around the house throughout the year. 

A very special thank you to my wonderful husband for making this for me. 

Update

And then we added fairy lights!

I will feature our family room decor again soon in a post while I share our holiday decor. 

Happy Decorating,

Sofa Table

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I love to have our home fully decorated before that day.  I will be sharing my decor as I go along and today I am sharing my sofa table decor.  As you might remember my sweet husband made me a simple sofa table.  I wanted something simple to use behind my sofa for layering my decor during the Holidays.  

I used the fairy lights to add sparkle to the table and my cute houses. 

I love my vintage teal bottlebrush wreath. 

The houses light up and I totally love bottlebrush trees!

I also used my vintage pink ceramic Christmas tree.  I was so tickled when I found this piece at the market in Wimberly Texas several years ago.  

It is so beautiful at night with all the sparkling lights. 

Here are so close up of some of my vintage things. 

I have a set of three little angels, circa 1960.  

I simply adore these vintage little snowmen also circa 1960.  

Here is my white and blue angel. 

Isn't she the sweetest! 

Here are so close ups of my not so vintage things that I used on my sofa table.

I love this metal cake stand from Target.  It is really one of my favorite things. 

My new house from Cracker Barrel. This was a gift for my Birthday from my sweet daughter. She gave it to me super early because she wanted it to be displayed.

This is my other house from Cracker Barrel which was a gift to myself. 

This is the center of my sofa table 

I love how it turned out. 

Thank you so very much for coming to visit.  Please leave a comment and let me know what you think and be sure to come back by to see more Holiday decor. 

Hoping you are enjoying decorating for the season.

Tiny Wired Fairy Lights and a Fairytale Dress

Tiny Wired Fairy Lights and a Fairytale Dress

Those of you that follow my blog know that I love this dress and my dress form.  Recently on Pinterest I saw some examples of ways to use those new tiny fairy lights and one example was with a beautiful dress.  I thought hey, I have the dress and the dress form and all I need are the lights.  Today I got my hands on a set of the lights and I was so excited to get back home and put my fairytale dress together with my new fairy lights.  

These photos were taken at night so they are not as clear as I had hoped. It has been raining fro days now but I will try to get some photos when the sun is shining again. 

  

I pin the lights between the layers of fabric and I followed the scallop design on the bottom of the dress.  

I love how it turned out and I love the feeling that it gives our bedroom.  I am hypersensitive to light but I  love accent and mood lighting.  

I used a small crown, vintage pearls, and my vintage fur that I purchased while living in South Korea.

Soon I will be sharing my holiday decor including these cuties that I recently found at Target. 

These amazing little pink reindeer are porcelain and are perfectly vintage styled with glitter and tiny ribbon bows with bells on them that actually jingle.  

Tis The Season!

More decorating coming soon...
