Hello Spring!

 Yesterday was the first day of Spring,

 and even though I'm knee deep in projects

for the spring market in two weeks,

 I took a little break

 to put out a few spring decorations,

and look forward to this new season!

Merry Christmas!

Well, November totally got away from me!

Between the vintage market, birthdays and holidays,

I simply could not find time for one single post!

So, before the same can happen to December,

behold some Christmas decorations for this year:

And if I don't get back to you before the end of the year

(which seams likely)

Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year!

Post Christmas Mantel

Okay, all the holiday rush is finally over and I am starting to breathe again!

 I left a lot of things on the mantle from Christmas, like the window and churches,

even the snowflakes, but they look a lot different now.

 Just added some finials, 

 dried hydrangeas,

 and birds under glass!

Christmas House Tour: Dining Room

This year I decided to go with black and white for the dining room
in honor of my new black light fixture and newly painted black chairs.

White quilt, black tray with white cyclamen flowers, black and white napkins.

White candles in hurricanes, tied with black and white fabric and stars.

And little wreaths tied onto the head chairs with black and white ribbon.






On the Welsh dresser, I went with a simple nativity inside a cloche
and silver vases with white candles.





The other side of the room also gets a little Christmas flair.

Once I started to set the table for Christmas dinner, I decided to change 

the white quilt and traded it out for a black and white tablecloth:

 More food-friendly!

I also decided to add a bit of color with the red napkins.

And this was the first year we did a kid's table:
