Let's Get Cracking....

Ok  I've had a week off and my decorating needs to get kicked up a notch or two.  In other words I need to get the lead out and start decorating.    My collection  of nutcrackers almost always finds a home on top of my corner cabinet.


One of my white pitchers with some peppermint candy canes inside and a winter scene trivet that belonged  to my mother.  These simple decorations will find a place in the kitchen.

The boxwood tree  is slightly decorated.   I think it needs some glittery silver ribbon .  Maybe a bow on top and a couple of bows  intertwined here or there should dress it up.

Our wreaths are hung on all the outside windows.  The spotlight is going in shortly.  Once the ground freezes its just too hard to place.  Next, the tree is coming in, lights are going on and ornaments hung.   I'll do my mantel next.

  3. I am in love with the corner cupboard! Is that old pine English or Irish? You look like you may have had floral training. I have worked off and on for 2 diffrent florist for 7-8 years.I am out of it now but it comes in handy.

  8. You've inspired me to hang a wreath up inside - can't hang one outside in my climate - it would blow over to yours in a jiffy! But, I can put one up indoors - thank you for the idea!
    The little nuttcracker collection is gorgeous!
