Vintage Heart Swap


Hey Girlfriends,
I hope everyone is doing well.
I have been debating for weeks now and have decided not to
do my 4th annual vintage heart swap at this time.
My computer has been acting up and
we have so many things going on here at home.
I just can't dedicate that much time to organizing and hosting a swap.
I am so sorry to all who were looking forward to joining!
And I sincerely thank all whom have joined me the last 3 years.
I hope you understand.

Some of you had suggested we do the swap in a few months.
I can do that, after all it doesn't have to be for valentines day.
Right?

Warm Hugs,

bottle brush trees, ornies and red plates adorn the window ledges


shhhh... kitten is asleep under the tree,
she is waiting for santa

Simple yet elegant feather wreath on the door


this lil guy stole my heart and had to come home with me!
{reminds me of my 3 grandsons - all blondes}


salvation army treasure

Huge snowflakes in the windows!


our guest bath is in shades of lavender
so I found some glittery ornaments to fill this iron basket
{I am thinking... more ornies }

I just adopted this precious snowman.

Vintage Oh La La

This year I put my vintage ornaments on my feather tree

I really like the way they look!


The tree sits on a table in the center of the parlor


It seems perfect for this 1800s victorian parlor


I usually fill this tree with pink ornies
but since this my first christmas here
I am forced to do things differently.
In the old house everything had its place!
See how I used these vintage beauties in christmas' past!

Wishing you a very blessed CHRISTmas sweet friends!

While the weather outside is freightful

Baby it's cold outside




Come on in and warm up



Let's have a cup of tea and sit by the tree

The birds will sing us a beautiful song


a piece of cherry pie with your tea?


Our stocking are hung


more treats with your tea


nibble nibble


while visions of toys dance in our head


candy cane ornaments


and red snowflakes too


birdies sweet songs make us feel warm inside


while snowmen remind us its cold outside


icicles sparkle from the tree branches



and cherries too


snowflakes we try to catch on our tongue



cherry stocking made with love from a dear friend

I hope you have enjoyed your time with me and my red cherry cottage themed tree
Stay warm sweet friends
Be Blessed
