Hi Friends,
I've got my Christmas décor put away. I do leave out the greenery, pine-garland and the natural pinecones for the next couple of month for Winter Season.
***
For this winter year season décor, I'm using thrifted vintage snowmen, natural pinecones, snowflakes, and of course handmade frosted pinecones and a touch of icy-blue throughout my Cottage Home.
***
Starting with the vignettes in the hutch. I just took out most of the Christmas sparkle and added in more greenery sprig from a thrifted faux-pine garland I took apart. I brought out my handmade white pinecones, (I just used a little white paint on pine cones I had collected overtime.
The felt Snowman head and vest was a thrifted find to- use on a Christmas Champagne bottle I think.
This super cut DIY pipe cleaner elf figurine I Thrifted a while back Love it!
I took a box of Snowflake from DT and blue wash them to have a blue tint

In the green bottle cubbies, I have added "The thrifted the Ozarks Plate"
added a few pinecones and sprig of winter greenery, and this super cute Thrifted
Vintage Japanese Elf or Santa ?

A super cute Milk-Glass vignette in the Hutch
I moved a few of the 'Cobalt Blue Vicks' jars into this vignette. I water-downed a little blue paint to give the white snow flakes a hint of blue. This is my favorite Winter vignette so far.

Not quite done with vignette in the entry room, it needs something, but I'm not sure what needs to be added

So until my next post......
May God Bless You and Your Family.

My favorite was definitely the milk glass and blue cobalt--a combo that I love here, too. I really like the blue tint on the snowflakes; makes them show up a lot better with all the white. I had to smile; one time I added pale green paint to a baggie of fake snow in an effort to make shredded lettuce for the dollhouse salads! Took a LOT of stirring! I finished 2 Christmas arrangements this a.m. to bring to the old parsonage for storage for our 2023 Christmas church bazaar. Gotta buy the greens and flowers when they are 70-75% off; stretch that budget! Clutter outa my house into someone else's! Gotta do it when the spirit moves me; more fun than the never ending housework!!! Al is bringing home a pizza for lunch after errands; had to clear craft clutter off the kitchen table!!!
