Havin' A GREAT Weekend!

Saturday dawned bright and sunny and mild and I headed to our local garden center for boughs and berries to pretty up our front porch (what do you think of our PINK front door ~ my husband takes a fair bit of ribbing over that door from all his manly friends and just about anyone who sees it, really...poor guy). I've been on the hunt for snowberries this time every year for the past few and I hit the jackpot yesterday ~ bunches and bunches available for the taking (well...buying).
I even had my hubby out helping with the Christmas lights with just a minimum of grumbling ("This is what you consider quality together time????" - direct quote)...anyhow...I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hours of arranging, bow-tying(?), and lighting the place up in order to attract as much holiday attention as possible. Here are a few photos...


and, on a couple of happy Etsy notes, my beaded star ornament is featured in Friday Finds, Thoughtful Gifts Under $50 - THANKS and whooohooo! It brought enough shoppers to reach my 500th sale!!!! Yay! Thanks so much everyone!

A Vintage ~ Mod Christmas

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...
I must say, this little tinsel tree from the 60's has sparked my decorating juices for the holiday season! It's shimmery silver branches sent me on a hunt for vintage ornaments that would feed it's sparkly little spirit (and mine as well!) ...and there is a treasure trove to be found in some of my favorite vintage Etsy shops!
Be sure to check out these great shops and all their treasures this holiday season!
(ps...click on my little tree to link to the treasury it also inspired...Mod Xmas!)
