{ouuu I love the pink lights}




Our christmas tree!
Shabby vintage theme!
White, silver and pink ornies, ivory and pink pearl garland,
lots of baubles and sparkles!


My sis made me this pretty rose stocking!
Thank you Suz!



My new vintage looking ornie!
I collect snow baby ornies!
They are so darn sweet!
Of course our cherry cottage has "cherry ornaments"!
Yes Yes Yes!
This one is one of my favorites!
** A sparkley slice of cherry-yumminess **
{I need to get more pictures of our cherry christmas kitchen!}

Our guest bath...
Come on in and powder your nose!
I love this room!


I love love loooove my vintage shiney brights!
Next year all of these will be on our tree!
I plan to do a green tree with all my vintage ornies!
I can just picture it in our newly decorated frontroom

This lil guy makes me smile!
One of my favorite shabby stockings!
I painted this nut cracker back when I first started taking tole painting lessons!
Mannnnny years ago! :-)
Ouuu don't you love this feather wreath!
3 sweet resin santas { I painted these too}
These cute spindle santas are some of my favorites!
I painted them back when our home was very country-ish!

My santa collection!
I painted them all!
Three wise men!
I painted many years ago on paper mache cones!

Don't look at the ugly light fixture!
I have an antique chandelier to replace this with... one of these days!
This is the dinning room light with handpainted ornies and glass icicles hung from pearl garland!
I love it!
Dinning room curio cabinet has a touch of shabby chic christmas, with silk roses and handpainted ornaments!
My favorite santa..... I painted many years ago!
As you can see our cottage is an eclectic mix of Christmas Treasures!
I have more pictures to take and more to show you.
