Welcome
to my Holiday Home.
I
like to have little snippets of Christmas all over the house like this little
vignette on my bookshelf
There
are three decorated trees in the living room, each one differently themed. We call the first one the Southern Belle because
it is dripping in cream pearls and has beautiful pink magnolia blossoms spread
throughout. The second tree is the toy
tree covered in tin toy soldiers, blocks, tops, postcards, etc. The third tree is the silver tree. It is also dripping in pearls, love the
romance of it all, but these pearls are brighter, whiter, and iridescent. Of course it’s covered in silver and glitter
and bright shiny objects. Last year when
I was participating in swaps I received a few new (to me) ornaments to go on
this tree. It was nice to discover them again when decorating.
I
would love to have a large tree this year, but with the addition of a second
dog it’s still easier to have smaller trees that are on top of tables then to
have one large tree.
One
of my favorite decorations is this silver Santa
Thanks
to Julia for hosting another Hooked

Donna at Funky Junk Interiors for their holiday tours as well.
Merry
hopping!
I just love those vintage pipecleaner Christmas trees. There is something about them that just makes me think of visting grandparents around the holidays. Whenever I see them at garage sales, I snatch them up.
Hope that you have a wonderful Christmas!

It's fun to have smaller, themed trees! I like that as well as big ones, we have one of each! And although I'm not into Santas, that silver one is one of the best I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing!
