Decking the Halls... And Everything Else

Yes, we've decked the halls...

and just about everything else!

 

We are set!

 

This tree has all of the

vintage pink ornaments,

which I wrote about here.

We had one of these cutie old

Santa's when I was a kid.

I'm sure it is older than I am.

 

Which is getting pretty old!

Ha!

He's either faded red

or was originally pink!

 

This tree we found on clearance at Lowe's

last year.
A Martha Stewart, pre lit tree.

35.00!

 

We pulled it out of the box

assembled it in a few pieces

and VIOLA! Instant Tree.

 

We decided to only use gold, silver,

 & white ornaments since the
branches are flocked in gold glitter.

I kind of like it!

Last year we had a

real tree in it's place.

 

 Speaking of real...

I got out the clippers

and used some natural

green again.

Why not use what you have outdoors?

 So, I snipped off a few branches

here, and few branches there....

  And made this...

 And a couple of these....

While hubby hung some wreaths on the

windows....this one was in the

"before flufffing" stage!

This mantel has been a sore spot

in my home...I've written about it

 before.

Probably, lamented, 
is a better word! 

It used to be brown.

 

My hubby painted it this past

summer thinking I would be

happier with it ivory.

 

I was not.

I tried to hide it under the
greenery.

Didn't work too well.

Maybe next year's
Christmas post
I can brag about
the NEW mantel
in it's place.
 

And here are a few baubles on

our new wreath,

found during the same

clearance sale last year

as the tree!

 

 

And last but not least,

here is something pink I found

while shopping this week!

 

What won't they

make in pink now?

 

A feminine tool carrying

caddy...except I think

I had a vision for it being

used for crafty stuff!

 

Linking to Pink Saturday!

 

Ho Ho Ho!
