Christmas Spirit

Just wanted to pop in and let you know that

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!

Just in case you didn't know

I just found this beautiful cream and white tree at our local Goodwill store
for $5.00. That just immediately put me in the Christmas spirit. 

 I saw an idea on Pinterest to make candle holders in old zinc canning jar lids and I intended
to do that, but for now I decided just to throw in a tea light with some glittery mica.

Truthfully, that may be as far as I get until after Christmas. Candle making sounds like a
great idea to do on a cold and blustery January day. I have never made my own candles
so it should be a fun first time ever craft.

I am not ready for Christmas. I am farther behind than ever. ONE gift has been purchased
and that was a small one. HELP! lol

Are you ready?? Ready or not..
here it comes!! 

Blessed White Wednesday ~

Once in awhile I print out sayings on vellum and

then wrap the vellum around my white candles.

I made these a couple days ago.

Merry Christmas to all of you. May

your blessings in the new year be more than

you can contain and may they spill out on all those around you!

Hugs~

White Christmas...

I started collecting these vintage houses and bottlebrush trees just before they became really hot and the prices shot through the roof and I have accumulated quite a stash. As you can see I concentrated on collecting mostly just white houses instead of all the colors. ( I do have a few pink ones as well)

I have some displayed here on my antique buffet, others on a windowsill and a few just sitting here and there with my other pretties. I bought the large mica church shown in the last picture for a song and I just adore it! I think the cheapest house I purchased was for 10 cents at a garage sale...love those bargains! Blessings!
