This is our vintage '59 aluminum pom pom tree in all its' glory - doesn't it look so much better with all of our antique 40's and 50's glass ornaments on it and with all the presents under there? So much better than the lonely tree photo I posted on my Christmas day blog. We love it. If you look close on there you might see the little hand made teddy bear ornament that my hubby made when he was a little boy...so cute... I told you guys he loves Christmas too!
This is our snowwoman statue figure that stands about 4 foot tall that stands guard in the family room. I got her at Kirkland's home decor store a couple of years ago after Christmas at 75% off - I think I paid $10.00 for her and two woman tried to buy her off me as I tried to make my way out the mall with her. She's awesome.
This is just a little "scene" I set up on a shelf over the sofa in the family room. We love those Jim Shore collectible figurines and this is Santa in his sleigh with 2 small aluminum trees and some berry garland. I've also got vintage bark cloth framed pieces out on that wall and some awesome paint by number pictures from the 50s out there. We wrapped one of them with red foil like a present for a backdrop piece.
This little guy is "Frosty" that my hubby made in a ceramics class when he was 8 years old and I cherish him. Look at how detailed of a painter he was even at such a young age...isn't he adorable?!
This is a cute little shelf in my dining room that the hubby repainted for me that I keep most of my cookbooks on.
This is our art decor china cabinet where we keep some of our favorite treasures year around and where we put out little snowmen and some vintage shiny brite ornaments still in their box. Oh, and that clock? I love it and I love the sound of its' chime and I got it about 10 years ago at a garage sale for $8.00.
This is out in the family room. See how all out we go?! I got the rug at an after Christmas sale and put it in the shot for the picture and it will be there next year for sure. I got the couch from an ad in the local paper and love it as its' 84 inches long and in awesome condition, we got the 50's lamp from a garage sale for $15.00, and all the Christmas pillows from World Market after Christmas a couple of years ago. I'm so proud of the way it turned out for the holidays.
I made this wreath after collecting vintage ornaments for a couple of years and it makes me happy every year to pull it out and put it in the family room.
This is the top of my china cabinet in my dining room that the hubby bought me for our 5th anniversary.
Cardboard house I found at Marshall's this year and just had to have with the cute bottlebrush trees.
Out in front of our house. Got most of these decorations from garage sales too! I know you find that shocking, right? LOL!
This is on a cabinet in our living room and I love this sparkly Merry Christmas decoration that I found at a cute local vintage shop. It fits perfect here and on top of this cabinet are the gold beaded deer that I made.
A pair of these plastic stand up Santas stood watch out by our front door to greet our holiday visitors! Who wouldn't love that face?
Close up of greenery swags I made to hang in the doorways between our living and family rooms. I LOVE these vintage pixie elves. I put them everywhere I can as they are so retro!
This is our Jim Shore nativity scene; the real reason for this season!
Well, this is just a little walk through some of our holiday decorations, as I forgot to take pictures of the bathrooms with their Christmas shower curtains and towels (yep, I go all out...) and the bedrooms with their comforters and greenery but it was all so nice and I was so proud to share it with you; I hope you all had a blessed and happy Merry Christmas and to all my friends that are reading this and who I got to spend time with over the holidays, we love you!
