Vintage Winter Décor on my Hutch

Hi Friends,

This year I want to add a lot of red ribbon and berries. 

I always add pine cones and greenery into my winter décor, along with a few vintage collectibles.

This year, I also brought back a few of the DIY's projects I have made in past years.

In this cubby vignette, I brought back the Stay at Home sign I made last January.  

Using some of my alphabet blocks spelled out 'WINTER' and 'COZY'. 

On a small silver plate tray I combined the famous a Budweiser Clydesdale horses coffee cup with a string of beads, red berries tiny pine cones. 

Also I shopped my house and found a biscuit tin, Solitaire coffee tin. 

Also in this cubby, I added a deer antler, a blue vintage lunch box and red thermos. 

Another diy project a faux birch-bark candle sitting in an blue enamel cup. 

A vignette isn't complete without a vintage rooster from my collection.

 I decided to add a pewter mug I thrifted and stuck some tree limbs with fir cones to add some interest.

Here I added a few of my cigar boxes, 

using my vintage blocks to spell out cozy, and of course a few chickens, pine cones.

I really enjoy decorating my hutch this year for winter. Over all I think the hutch looks great! However, when it came to decorating the hutch I ran out of green picks. 

So, note to self for next year-- pick up more green Christmas floral picks.

Thank you so much for stopping by to check out what I have been up to, Until the next time....

Rustic Winter Décor - Transition from Christmas to Winter in the Den

Hi Friends,

Setting up my fireplace mantel first, get the creative juice's flowing for me.  This year I thought about bring out more of the red black buffalos checks and woodsy feel for the foundation of my winter décor.  In past years I've done red birds, snowmen, or icy, snowy winter with snowflakes.  

On the mantel I place two trees on either side that are sat in galvanized buckets.  That are cover with red/ black buffalo checked scarfs all of these items I bought at Dollar Tree.

I also added a few vintage bottles, pine cones and a milk glass vase with red berries.

In the center of the mantel I added this Baby it's Cold Outside, sign I crafted last winter, along with a few of my vintage canning jars.      

A thrifted cardinal plate from last winter, and of course the black/white and red/black checked ribbon and pine garland that I love to add to the mantel.

Also in the den I found a place for the cast metal candle holder, I thrifted this month, 

 A glass flower frog that was handed down from my grandmother, one of my cigar boxes filled with pine cones and greenery weathered sticks from my yard.

On one of the shelves in the den is a vintage blue lunch box to display my collection of glass door knobs, greenery a few pine cones and red berries.

On top of the Pepsi crate I placed a vintage white mug with a little greenery and red berries and an chrome plate pocket warmer with a red bag that I found in the trunk.

In the Pepsi crate I changed a few things, added a little blue bottle and a children's tea saucer and a little greenery and berries.

 

Over in a corner of the den, I placed wool blankets in the wooden "Black Label" box on top of the trunk, 

I also pulled out some of the games we play with the kids for time to time, some of the cold days in winter. 

I like this arrangement, I made up for Christmas, using a vintage tobacco box, some pine greenery pine cones and this very large hurricane chimney.

I thrifted the hurricane chimney several years ago and didn't know how to use it. I really like how this center piece came to gather. 

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you enjoyed seeing how I decorated my mantel for the winter months.

Until the next time God Bless You,

Taking it Down the Christmas Tree

 

Hi Friends,

It is always sad for me when it's time to take down the Christmas tree.  We put this tree up I believe December 20th and kept it nourished with water.  Where I live the air is so dry and we do have a fire burning most of the winter month, the tree was very dry when we took it down last Sunday.

Another one of our traditions, I like to fulfill is to leave our tree up until after New Years and then take it down over the weekend.  

However, this year we spent the  New Years weekend with my mother, and arrived home late Sunday night, just didn't get the time to get to the Christmas tree. 

So many wonderful treasured hand made ornament by my kids and grandkids

Looking at this Kmart box I got these made in America glass ornaments on sale for $1.77

Carefully wrapping up in tissue and packing up the new ornament from the grand children and placing my old collection of ornament away for another year.

 

I hate to see the tree go, but I also enjoy getting more space back in my living room

Thank you for checking in to see what project I'm working on today

May God Bless you and your family,
