I am going to start with the vignette I created on the antique chest in this little hallway and on the plate shelf. My mantel is really very basic this year and I will share it soon.
I used everything I had on hand except I bought a few new very cheap basic bottle brush trees. The larger ones are vintage that I purchased last year.
I used these little figures from days gone by last year on my mantel and thought they would be fun to use in a different setting this year. A little batting for snow and we have a winter wonderland. Well, almost.
I bought this little lighted house years ago and can't believe the light bulb hasn't burned out yet.
I just added vintage and new bottle brush trees among the ironstone on the plate shelf.
You are more than welcome to display this button, but it does not have a code box so you will need to add a link, too. Thanks.

Thanks for hosting, Kim. After a full day of cleaning floors and decorating I am glad to sit back and visit lots of links. The majority of our Christmas decor is finished, but I ran out of daylight for the rest of the photos. I shared some vignettes that are throughout our home in the Homespun Christmas party today.

Hi Kim! Thanks for sharing your plate shelf and dresser vignettes with us. I love the little reindeer, I think it's my favorite. You make it look so effortless, changing things up from year to year. It's something I really struggle with. I'm still working on my mantel, but hope to have something to link up tomorrow. There are already so many, many beautiful mantels and vignettes linked up! Thanks for hosting and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI too can't believe it's Dec. already. I love your Winter Wonderland vignette. Bottle brush trees are one of my favorite Christmas items. I have a set of three houses like that. I want to put them in my living room. Even though I am pretty much finished decorating I have not been able to find that container. Guess I'll give it one more look see tomorrow. Thanks for this fun Christmas party.
Hugs,
Jann
Beautiful vignette - I love all the white. Thanks for hosting!

I haven;t photographed my mantle yet. Hoping to do so tomorrow and then I can hook up with your party. Better late than never huh? :)
Me and Suzy at Worthing Court just made reservations for 4 days in Atlanta in January for the gift mart. I so hop we can all get together and have dinner while there. xxoo
