It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Some more not so great pic's I'm sharing on my Christmas decor, but like I said on my last post it sooo hard to take good pic's on one good foot :-( oh well I hope you get an idea how it looks, these pic's don't do the decor an justice, but I hope you find it pretty....




This is a close up of my tree...








Look close see the ballerina she spins....




I love to collect Christmas ornaments but sadly this year I was not able.....




I made this mantle swag, it's really beautiful, but sadly my pic's don't to it justice ;-(




I added lights to the swag....




Pretty sparkly ribbon, flower and Christmas balls, I already had on hand....




A close up...




My pretty stockings, I have had for years and still love them...




Here is another one.....




My dining room center piece...








Details on my free beautiful chairs, I just love the tie backs ;-)




Love this yummy pink silk fabric....




Well that's it for now hope you had a good time....
If you want to view more pink pretties please join our hostess Beverly at how sweet the sound, just click on my side bar and get whisked away....
Till next we meet happy decorating...

A little Christmas!

Hello friends, most of you know I took a fall and I have been babying my poor ankle, but I wanted to share some pitiful pic's of my dining room dressed for Christmas, sorry for the poor pic's but it's sooo hard trying to be still and steady on one foot, but hopefully you can get an idea how it looks!




My centerpiece is simple, but elegant...




Notice my pretty host and hostess chairs, found them while on vacation in Florida for a great deal, only 300 bucks for two of them, woot woot what a score...lol....I just love them and the fabric is a pretty soft green silk....




Now these pretty caine back french chairs, were free, yes you read it correct freeee wooooo weeee my moms friend was moving to Florida and could not take them with her and ask me if I wanted all 6 of them and how could I refuse, the other two are waiting for me to get them reupholstered...




My little tree on top of my buffet, I decorated it in a candy theme...




The dining room table is a french vintage table that was also a gift this summer from the hubby ;-) I have been wanting a french dining table for a long time now, so I'm soooo over joy with my new old table ;-) funny how it all blended well together, some things are just meant to be...




In this pic you can see the french pretty chairs I had the upholstered in a pretty pink silk, notice the beautiful curvy legs on my dining room table, soooo pretty! I really love how my dining room is turning out.
Hope you are all enjoying this special time of year~

Holiday blues!

Hello friends, I hope your having fun decorating for this wonderful time of year! It's a time to be happy and thankful for all that our sweet Lord has giving us! And with that being said, I'm thankful to be alive you see my friends, I took a
bad fall from my attic, yes you read it correctly I fell from my attic and thank God all I received from my fall is a busted ankle and tons of bruises! And ohhh my the pain was beyond anything I have felt in my life, at the emergency room the doctors and nurses told me to play Lotto cause I was one lucky Chica!! Lol




Another thing I'm thankful for is that I had already decorated my home for the holidays, but never got to start christmas shopping...
Ohhhh well all in good time, I'm just happy I lived to tell this story...
Happy decorating my friends!
