A Little Christmas Tour

Happy Holidays Friends~ ~ ~
Come on in for a visit and share in the Joy of the season!

This is what happens when your in a hurry. Please tilt your head a little to the left to read Mom's Amazing Fruitcake recipe. None who have tried this cake have disliked it. It has very little fruit and lots of tasty cake so I am sharing the recipe with all of you. It's the easiest cake to make you won't believe it. I printed the recipe on paper and hung it from the stair railing for all to see as they enter through the front door. I'll do another post later so that you can copy and paste the recipe to your computer. How about for Foodie Friday, OK Gollum?

At the top of the steps is one of my china cabinets.
I love the vintage picture of the boy & girl on the swing.



This is new this year and I got it at
Fairy Freckles Studios. It would make a great centerpiece for a table also.
They have the greatest vintage plaques another is on the dining room buffet.



Ta Da, This is my thin white tree that was a gift from my friend Joy and I just love it. It fits so nicely in the corner of our small livingroom.



Love this picture of the tree top. My friend walked in the room and said "It looks like your tree exploded!" Kinda cool. I have had the little gold stars on the sticks for at least 20 years. The big silver ones are new.



These are some of my favorite ornaments.




Can you believe I got them at WalMart?




Sweet little sparkly tree. In my mind you can never have enough Glitter!!



The above picture is of the bottom of the tree. I really loaded it up with big elements to make it look wider. The tree is sort of straight up and down. I used a piece of purple velvet for a tree skirt.



If you look left from the tree the sofa is in front of the big window with it's lace curtains.
I have decorated the sofa table with greens and flowers and my Dept. 54 angels.
Day time shot on a rainy day.


Night time shot with the sparkly lights.


Do any of you collect Dept. 54? These angels have to be at least 25 years old.
They are paper mache.
I have set them on angel hair. It just seemed right.





Opps again. Too much in a hurry. Between the sofa and the tree.



Good thing this is the last shot. The buffet in the diningroom with another print from
Fairy Freckly Studios. Don't you just love it with the bottles I made? I love how it sparkles and shines with all the silver. I'm planning to sell these bottles and more after the holidays.
Do you think there would be much interest?
I am linking to Cindy's Show & Tell to share my Christmas tree.
Please stop by and visit everyone who is participating in Show & Tell.
I'll bet you'll see lots of Christmas decorations this week.
It so much fun to see what everyone is up to.
You can find them all at Cindy's Romantic Home.
Thanks for visiting and for taking the tour. I appreciate all of you and cherish the friendships I have made in the blogging community. Please stop by again and don't forget to leave a little message I really love hearing from you.~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
