We got our tree on Friday and got it set up and decorated today. Since it's in the ken (kitchen den), the decorations are minimal in keeping with the small space: white lights, Moravian stars, clip-on lanterns, and candy canes. I have my giant wreath hanging in the window. It's a grapevine wreath covered in vintage ornaments and cheap hobby store picks. Each year I add to it. I love looking at it; every inch of it holds a surprise.This year we went with a live wreath on the front door, adorned with a simple bow.
A pair of small, girl's skates are draped over the back of a chair.
My all-time favorite Christmas movie is White Christmas. Last year I got this 11x17" poster as a Christmas gift and framed it this year in a simple white frame which I decorated with a red and white glittery rope.
And dear boy Gideon got a Tiffany blue neck scarf for the Christmas season.

ReplyDeleteHi Dawn, sigh what lovely inspiration here, I've said this year I am going for very simple decs, don't you think that's a hard look to get right though? you've succeeded! I absolutely love the big wreath, I would really like to find one like that, I am having enough trouble finding a small one..

p.s. I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving, sorry I didn't get round to coming over and wishing you some blessings
I saw a pair of vintage ice skates last year for $20 and I himmed-and-hawed whether I should've gotten them. AND OF COURSE...I've regretted it ever since. Pretty decorations and I love the fresh-real wreath!

Your house is looking all cute and Christmasy. I love the wreath that you keep adding too. That is such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI'm slowly decorating and I'll probably slowly show my progress because it's such a busy month.
I can't believe you wrote about "White Christmas". My other favorite is "Holiday Inn". I usually cry watching both of them.
