Decorating in silver and white {and sprigs of green}

Sharing a few more photos of my Christmas decor that I finished up yesterday. I purchased two bundles of greens from *the big box store* for $5 each {in the live flower section} and it really went a long way. This is a very long shelf in my kitchen that my daddy made for me years ago...out of oak...I painted it white a couple years ago , but we won't tell anyone. :)

This chair also sits in my kitchen and I love decorating it for the different seasons.
I picked up a few of the paper ball glitter ornies at Pottery Barn this past February on clearance for little of nothing. I love them. They are so pretty and sparkly.

My beautiful Joyeux Noel cone that I found on Etsy. I put some greens in it and then added a vintage sprig of berries.  {It still has the original Japan label on it}

My basket prettied up for the season.

I still adore my vintage silver ornies and try to pick unique ones up whenever I can. I purchased a few of the mercury glass trumpet ornies at Pottery Barn this past February on clearance for peanuts.
Sorry there is glare in this photo. The lighting has not been good at all so I had to use the flash.

A cute little sleigh that I found at Hobby Lobby a few years ago holding a vintage SILENT NIGHT ornament.

I picked up two of these linen stockings at the sidewalk sale this past summer. $2 each and they are monogrammed with *S* on the points of the cuff. I think it was meant to be. This hangs on my bathroom door.

A little fake charlie brown tree in my living room.



Wings and stars that I created that are also sitting on my long shelf in the kitchen. Should have got a photo of the whole shelf. oops.



Love my zinc pots and tart pans from Belgium. These are sitting on my windowsill also in the kitchen.
Hope you enjoyed your mini tour of my home decorated for Christmas!!

Some recent finds and around the house

Oh my goodness!

It is sooooo hot here. Supposed to

hit 102 degrees today with a heat index that is

much higher. I will be very thankful when the heat lets

up as it is hard to do anything at all in this weather.

I have been mostly staying indoors except for yesterday

when I ran off for a haircut, pick up a prescription and to

buy my hubby some food/drink for work.

Looks like another day of pretty much the same so I

have been paying bills online , a little laundry and

staying inside! Our little air conditioner is working

it's heart out. We ususally run it at night and then turn

it off during the day because it stays pretty nice in here

with fans etc., but I haven't shut it off yet today from

last night. Just too hot!

Remember the antique booth I went to several weeks

ago and got my french items? I also purchased these two

candles in the same booth. Aren't they pretty?

My favorite corner and lampshade again

some of my old dried hydrangeas in a birdcage

Last week I headed up to the antique mall where I

used to have my booth and spotted some sidewalk

sales so I stopped back at them on the way

home. There is a very nice upscale home store and

that is where I purchased most of my items including

the dried lavender laundry sachet above. It is a nice

large size. You throw it in the dryer for a nice

lavender scent...haven't tried it yet. :)

I also found this burlap pillow cover for $2.00!! Can't beat that. Now I just need to get a pillow form

for it.

Then I picked up two linen stockings with the initials

*S* on them. They had probably half a dozen or so

and they all had the same initial.

I hope you are having a good day today and if you

are in the midst of a heatwave like we are please stay

inside and be very careful if you do go out.

Also, please say a prayer for my hubby and son who

both are working in this awful weather.

Blessings~
