As most of you know, I am in the midst of packing up my home and moving into a new one. So, my tour is going to be some highlights of Christmas past.
The top photo is on a section of my front porch between the front door and the garage. I used the big letters and a wreath of live greenery for the O in JOY.
One of my all time favorite wreaths is this simple artificial greenery wreath with a red transferware plate wired to the center and a big red bow.
In the entry inside, I love this wreath made out of cut outs of vintage Christmas cards and mounted on a round cardboard wreath.
Another JOY with a large bell in the center.
A vintage window frame tied with bells and all off white items mixed with mercury glass items.
I love this Happy Holidays sign painted in candy cane stripes. The poinsettias are in a large wicker snowman's hat and an assortment of Santas adorn the other side.
I love garlands anytime of the year....
and Christmas pillows...
and runners....
and Christmas houses in jars....
and handmade ornaments....
decor made with vintage spools and tart tins...
and a Coca Cola bottle painted like Santa.
This arrangement is in honor of my Mom who loved pink - so I have this little vignette of pink items I know she would have loved....
always love my red crocheted flower garland made by the talented Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage
little vintage red truck hauling the tree....
adorning my lampshades....
and my precious Bella.
But, the most important part of this blessed season is to celebrate the birth of our Lord.
Merry Christmas!
I promised next year I'll have a tree up and I'll do better at home decor for the holidays.
Be sure and visit each of the blogs on the tour.

Oh, Judy! Everything is so fun.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I have never seen a coke bottle painted like Santa before.
If I wasn't finishing packing and cleaning the house for Lulu's sitter, I would decorate my lampshade in the living room. I can't believe I never thought of adding touches to it for Christmas.
So hard to decorate in the middle of a soon to be move. I love seeing your Christmas touches from years past. Especially the vintage table runner. I may have to make one of those for next year.

ReplyDeleteSo cute! Thank you for sharing! I love those little bottle brush trees and those vintage style cloth ornaments....
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas décor is wonderful, Judy. The wreath with the red bow is pretty, and that dish looks like the red transferware? I've always loved to see the words, JOY at Christmas time, so your red words caught my eye. The mercury glass items look wintery, and I love the pillow "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas." I do wish it would snow here sometime. The red crocheted flower garland is very charming, and is it just me, or do they look like red roses hehehe?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing highlights of your Christmas' past, Judy. Hello there Bella! Are you getting into the Christmas spirit too?
love, ~Sheri
It all looks wonderful Judy! I know how busy you are this year! Love the homemade ornaments and the banners! Wishing you a great week.
