Some Christmas tree and more

I always enjoy decorating a fresh tree for Christmas. This year we bought a very nice full tree from the local boy scouts. I put the lights on with out help and most of the decorations, I do let the kids put up theirs.
Before adding all the decorations
I made this for our pup


I made this out of a round wood circle from the craft store and scrapbook paper and bows already made with sticky dots on them.

Made the wooden ones a few years ago....can't wait to get some new decorations this year on clearance.

I love these and wish I bought more they were only 3 for a 1.00 at the Christmas Tree store!
I made this from a magazine article....its just scrapbook paper and double sided sticky tape with a stamp in the middle, it does take some time to make.
I found this in our basement....it seems old

Christmas time

Love this...my mom gave it to me

Theirs not to much room to add a lot to this little retro table. I'm thinking of painting this someday not sure only paid 10.00 for it at a yard sale, the wood is in great condition.

I'm going to post more photos of the tree and more tomorrow.

I used alot of blues and silver in the dining room.



These photos were taken by my new Nikon coolpix my hunny got me......such a surprise, I have more dining room pictures from my old camera I'm going to post as well





I feel like we couldn't of got a better tree, its not as tall as are last years but its perfectly shaped. Hope everyone had a very merry X-mas and happy holidays to all.

Christmas Harvest Table






I was really excited to decorate my harvest table for the first time. I used a simple red metal tray to place the trees and the vase with the bulbs, which needs more but I'm running low on bulbs. I put the biggest one on a Christmas cake stand. I added the fresh boxwood to the white pitcher and placed it on a silver round tray. I found the vintage milk glass candy dish at a Savers for 2.99. I wrapped a few "fake" gifts with natural paper.



Here are some pictures without the milk glass.....I need to buy more extension cords to plug in the tree.

What to do with all this stuff?

My man helped clean out a storage unit for this guy and he told him to take whatever he wanted and he did, I came home (this was a few weeks ago) to seeing all this


This chair is huge, the wood is in great condition but the upholstery was not, so I took it all off outside while it was still nice out.


This is a small side table and although the paint job was awful ts a nice piece of furniture.



I love this style with the legs showing....


Here is the server I love its perfectly sized for small spaces


Some beat up picnic table benches

These chairs are solid wood, and a little bit different, but I think some paint would make these work

a simple desk and a chair, also we got a old medicine cabinet and Its lovely, I'll take pictures soon.
