A few photos of my not-as-decorated-as-usual home. I only unpacked what was white, or gold, or silver or sparkly. Oh, and the box that was on top of all the other Christmas boxes that had a few red and lime green ornaments. Those are in the kitchen and I'll show you those another time.
But for now, here is my sitting room (it's really the living room with the TV but this is where I do ALL my sitting!). The big tree is in another room but I like to sit in the dark and watch the blinky lights so I put a small tree in here.
This little tree has the pearl garland that I posted about earlier (you can read about it here). And the little mittens - they were mine when I was a wee, little lass.
The small bookcase is like it usually is - I just added a few touches. Lazy, I know.
A new wreath, made by moi.
And these teeny, tiny houses - also made by me - are teeny, tiny! My daughter and I were going to whip these puppies up before her cookie party but these turned out to be not-to-be-whipped-up-in-a-hurry type of craft. Took me 3 whole days! But too cute not to be finished, ya know.
The biggest house is only 4 inches tall and I cut the church steeple wrong so the steeple turned into another house. Sorry folks, you can't go to church in this little village!
I'll post some more little vignettes of my holiday house another day. We are celebrating Christmas this Saturday so there are things to be done.
So merry, merry Christmas and happy, happy holidays!
ps - I'm going to try to link up to Sherry's (No Minimalist Here) 'Share the Decor' party. One of my goals next year is to play with others more often! Step number one before actually joining a swap or going to a gathering with other bloggers!
