Christmas is in the House!

Christmas is in the house!

My tree in our family room. Lots of old glass balls, Shiny Brites and tinsel

One of my favorites. A glass ornament made in Germany

Can't decorate without my birdcage

Pink and white Shiny Brite

Burlap stockings with a special silly gift for each one. :)

 

 Another favorite

Of course I had to pull out my vintage Christmas cards. 

They are just too cheery to keep hid in a box!

An old door to display my cards

 

The top of my fridge

 

 One of my favorite old tablecloths

  

Help! I can't get out! Must Deliver Toys!!!!

 

A lovely couple taking a stroll in the snow.

These salt and pepper shakers belonged to my sister's

mother in law. I'm sure they are at least 50 years old.

Dining Area

 

 My dining room tree wrapped in handmade vintage songbook trim. 

Lots of handmade paper cone ornaments. 

Another favorite that I will leave up for awhile.

 

A mix of old and new displayed on a tray and sprinkled with old shredded paper.

I made this nativity scene over 25 years ago. My cousin Peggy owned a ceramic shop.

It was such a fun project. Unfortunately the three kings got broken. It is still a lovely set.

 

 I love this.

 

The reason for the season. I really do love my Jesus.

 

One of my special angels. She has a porcelain head. So sweet.

This one is about to fall apart but she is still beautiful to me.

An old nativity scene made of plaster. The barn is cardboard with lovely print on the inside wall.

I think I paid $5 for this. I love it!

 

I know I have post this ornament before, It is a couple of years old now. 

One of my favorites. 

The pretty girls in the ornament are a dear cousin and a beloved aunt of mine.

Holy Night.

All is calm.

All is bright.

Hubby's Bathroom

 

This old red firetruck belonged to my brother-in-law.

Hauling home the Christmas tree

My Bedroom

The tree stands in an old hatbox surround by old boxes of Shiny Brites.

Nativity Scene in the hall.

Common Bathroom

 

 Natural swag made from pine bows, pinecones, and glitter stars

 

My old Brachs Chocolate Covered Cherries box. A sweet memory of

my Grandpa Pollard who used to share his favorite candy with me when I was

a child.
