HOLIDAY VIGNETTES....

A winter storm has settled upon the area.

Today is a good day to nestle by the fire

and catch up on some

last minute holiday knitting,

and if time allows ....some reading.

Since today is such a 'Winter Wonderland'!

I thought I would share the

rest of my holiday decorations.

'Fairy Land'

Nestled on top of my living room secretary desk.

I always decorate this piece of furniture with my

fairy collection and beaded garland.

I didn't put out all of my fairies this year.

I suppose I should get them from storage ....I think that the little

ones left out are feeling very sad.

I think I will go fetch them after this post.

This is my table where I usually display my crystal

candle sticks and mercury glass.

Instead of storing them away for the holidays ...

I try to incorporate them into the decorating.

I add lots of glittery accents, pearls and sparkling garland.

More glitz and glamour!


The beaded ornament ball sitting on a candle stick is one that I made last year. You know the old trick ...taking a styrofoam ball, adding sequins, beads, and pearl pins. I wanted to make more, but this one took awhile. Perhaps I should devote a little time throughout the year (next year) to make a few more?



My 'Glam' ornament ball!



I decided I needed some lighting on the display. I found these lights at 'Big Lots'! I think they are just the perfect ones. Lighted stars that change from white to blue!



Evening is the best time! That's when everything just sparkles!


My entry table!

This table always gets decorated

with my angel collection.

It's all so Magical!

She may look vintage ....but, she's from one of my favorite stores TJ Maxx!

I love to use lots of glitter and glitz!

Last, but not least ...this little guy! He is so ugly ...it just makes him downright cute!

See ...he's really tall, has short arms with big hands and a really big nose! You just gotta love him!

WISHING YOU A VERY MAGICAL HOLIDAY SEASON!
