Snowmen Christmas part 1

The snowmen Christmas tree in the living room. I wish my pictures were better.

This is on my tree near the top. I got this at a yard sale years ago.

This is my fancy snow lady. Isn't she sweet?

Another snow lady. She is dressed in a brown hat and coat.

This is a antique. It was on my father's tree when he was young. It is over a 100 years old. That is priceless to me.

This is another antique, also from my father's tree as a young boy. Another priceless piece.

One of my snowmen sitting on a chair with a plaid deer.

My dry sink that I got at a yard sale for 5$. As you can see it is well decorated with snowmen.

This is a close up of the bottom. I love the two making a snowman.

I hung the ice skates on the door with some greens.

My cute little Christmas mouse. Everyone needs one of these. He is so cute.

I made this wreath at work, then I bought it. It goes so well with the theme of snowmen.

  This is another priceless scene. It was also on my father's Christmas yard when he was a small boy. The log house and the celluloid animals and the cast iron pump are all over 100 years old. I wish I could hide the wires better. Just love this.

A snowman with his bear sitting on my rocking horse, which I got at a yard sale, the horse that is. Under the horse is a old snowman hat.

This rocking horse I got at a antique store. It was never used. It was used for display.

Another yard sale rocking horse, I used to display some of my snowmen. More pictures to come later.

Gingerbread Christmas part 2

My Gingerbread tree in the eating area of my kitchen.

My green cheese slicer and spice grinder, also decorated with gingerbread.

I did a cloche out of a cheese cover. 

The exhaust cover above my stove, is all done in gingerbread, greens, lights and other things that match the theme.

This is the side of exhaust cover. The cranberry garland that you see in the picture, I dried.

Another view of the stove, and the garland around the cabinet. It has orange slices and a cranberry garland around it, also my grandmothers cookie cutters are on it.

A close up view of one of the cookie cutters

A garland above my kitchen sink.

The next couple of pictures are above my kitchen cabinets. They are decorated with greens, lights and all kind of gingerbread men.

This is a little arrangement I did in a tin.

A little tray I got at a yard sale. I thought it was too cute to pass up. So I  put  in it but what else, but more gingerbread men. This is the end of my gingerbread kitchen for Christmas. My next post will be of the living room and the snowmen theme.

Gingerbread Christmas part 1

I buy these old kitchen items at yard sales and decorate for Christmas. My kitchen is done all in gingerbread, for Christmas.

This is another one of my yard sale finds. And I decorated  it also.

This is not a yard sale find. I bought it at a antique sale. I just had to have the little spice cabinet.

The green box that you see in the picture, I got at a yard sale and it was brown, so I painted it green and antiqued it. I usually have vintage dishes in it, but changed it out for my gingerbread people. It is sitting on my kitchen window.

I really like this little spice cabinet I got at a yard sale. It was blue and had different knobs on it. I painted it white and distressed it. So for Christmas I decorated it.

Also got this long basket at a yard sale, and put some greens and a gingerbread boy in it.

This is on my window sill in the eating area. It is a swag with apple slices and orange slices, cinnamon sticks and gingerbread men.

Arrangement for my table. It is a carpenter box that I got at a yard sale, so for Christmas I fill it with gingerbread men greens cinnamon sticks apple slices and orange slices. And of course a doily.

The shelf with my vintage green kitchen things that I collect. I add gingerbread men and greens to this for Christmas.

My other shelf with more vintage green. Also with gingerbread men and greens. The gingerbread book that you see, I bought it at a antique auction. It is 1943. I only bring that out at Christmas. It is so fitting for my theme.

This is my island that I redid this past summer. It was an old desk that I got at a yard sale. I painted it white and distressed it. It is in my kitchen.

This basket is under the island, filled with what else but more gingerbread men. This is the end of the first of many more pictures of gingerbread men. I will be posting more tomorrow night.

Victorian Christmas

I made this victorian stocking at work. This is the second one, because I sold the first one right away.

This is a close up of the top.

Victorian cones/tussie mussie

This is a close up of one of my Christmas cones. It has the white tree in that I bleached.

Another of my Christmas cones. This one is with music paper and also a horn.

I made this cone for my work.

This is a close up of the Christmas cone.

Altered Birdhouses

One of my altered birdhouses. I started with a plain birdhouse, and papered it, then I started to embellish it with a key and this cute little door knob I got at a yard sale. It was so cute, I was wondering what I was going to use it on, well now I know. It was made for it. Then I added flowers, feathers, buttons, a bird and fringes. The bottom is a candle holder. It is embellished front back and sides.

My second birdhouse I altered. I got it at a yard sale for 1$. I also papered this one. I painted the roof pink and the trim celery green. Then I started to embellish it. You name it and it's on their. It's very shabby. So far that's all the birdhouses, but I hope I can find more to alter.
