I’ve tried to decorate for Christmas a little bit more this year. I’ve also had a lot of fun making my own decorations from what I already have on hand. My Mom handed down her Mother’s lovely (and very breakable) cake plate to me, and I loved displaying the Christmas ornaments in it. I also used all of my glass vases that I had to make a little Peppermint and Santa Claus display. I love any holiday decorations that you can eat. For the dining room I made a Christmas Card Holder to display all of the Christmas Cards and Pictures from friends near and far.

My mom also made this adorable Christmas tree, it looks perfect on the kitchen table. She also gave me the cutest Snowman Spoon Rest, a great start to a new collection.

We also found a new Star for the Christmas tree, and cute Stockings line the stairway. Thade is hoping that Christmas will get here sooner rather than later.
