A Pretty Little Christmas

dsc08984.jpg
My lovely friend Heather at Pretty Petals is hosting a Pretty Little Christmas party. Please feel free to join in!


I'll take you on a "tour" of my Christmas decorating around the home. I didn't put as much up this year as last, but there's still lots of pretties to feast your eyes on!

My pink feather tree greets you as you enter, along with the delicious scent of a Cherry Blossom candle...

The candle glows and picks up the sparkle of one of my Silver Bella projects "Christmas Pageant" taught by Teresa McFayden. That photo I used inside is my family way back when Mum was that little girl in the front left!

As you step into the lounge room, check out my little Christmas village, sitting on a bed of tulle snow, bordered with vintage feather trim "snow"

The teeny tiniest vintage house I bought from Pam Garrison

And one I made in Charlotte Lyons' class at Silver Bella.

(little Peace embroidered ornament also made at Silver Bella)

My mantel is covered in vintage feathers that belonged to my grandmother. I love how they look like snow! Beneath them hang my collection of beautiful stockings and stocking ornaments made by my friend Kathy at
Shabby Roses Boutique.

These little snowmen above and below were purchases from my recent trip to Vintage General in Savannah. Looooove the little guy's pipe above!

Divine Merry Sign made by super talented Donna of Under the Red Roof.

Ice cream ornament I purchased at Silver Bella, I couldn't resist this! Made by my sweet friend Analise of
Sugar*Sugar

dsc08975.jpg
My gorgeous friend Andrea of
Velvet Strawberries made this beautiful star ornament for me, she knew I love pink and green, it's just perfect!

dsc08951.jpg
This stocking takes pride of place ALL year round, made by your Pretty Little Christmas party hostess with the mostest, and my sweet friend,
Heather

dsc08937.jpg
Gosh all these talented friends who make the most wonderful ornaments! This one is another to add to that amazing group of pretties ~ I got this from beautiful
Holly at Silver Bella. Is it not one of the most adorable and unique ornaments you've seen?

dsc08935.jpg
Hand painted beauty was one of many eBay purchases a few years back (sorry I can't remember the seller's name!). That gorgeous vintage pink/aqua/white ornament behind it is from the lovely
Kitty who spoiled me with gifts when I visited her daughter Heather last month!

dsc08934.jpg
Speaking of being spoiled, the glass slice of cake ornament was also a fabulous gift from Heather's hilarious friend Stephenie!

dsc08970.jpg
Santa looks so sweet there! Another Savannah purchase, can you believe he didn't get damaged in 8 plane rides?! PHEW!

dsc08953.jpg
Ooooh don't you just love vintage glass ornaments? These were a Christmas gift last year from my friend
Kathy. I could stare at them forever!

dsc09007.jpg
Beautiful repro glass bead candy canes and picks below were items I couldn't resist from Andrea at Silver Bella!

Leroy has his own little tree that he decorated himself, and he made the angel topper too!

My favourite is at night time, the tree in our lounge room ~ that I actually kept ONLY white, clear and silver.... yes, that's feather trim all round too!

Hope you enjoyed my pretty Christmas as much as I enjoyed photographing it and sharing it with you!


Have fun checking out all the parties!!

  30. So many pretties around your place. The best thing is that they aren't pretties only they are happy memory keepers too! The Heather boot, the Theresa book, the ice cone (well I think that must be something fit for your Christmas!). I love the tree of Leroy. He has inherited your decorating talents! Enjoy these special days before Christmas, I hope that Leroy is on the mend and that you have time to enjoy!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Indeed I did enjoy my visit!! I just love each and every touch you have done to your home and Leroy's tree just could not be any sweeter!!!

    I am going to have to get me one of the dove ornaments. I have seen them all over blogland and now I MUST have one!! tee hee.

    Merry Christmas Natasha!!!!!
