Hand-Crafted Christmas Village on the Mantel

 Hi Friends,

Thank you for stopping by 'My little Colorado Cottage', today, I'm working on the Mantel 

This Christmas season I'm setting up my Christmas Village on the Mantel.

The first of December I shared Past Christmas Village Vignettes and a few glitter house patterns I found on Pinterest.

Today, I'm showing off a couple of glitter houses that I made this season.

*****

For a little whimsy I made some stars from silver pipe cleaners

*****

I had the craft star it was originally green I just painted it white and added silver glitter

*****

This Glitter House was my first pattern I tried, fairly easy I did add the chimney and a awning over the door

*****

The second house turned out larger than I was expecting and decided to turn it into the local grainery or granary 

*****

As I have mentioned the ceramic shops I purchased from Wal Mart as a craft.

I also brought out my small collection of 1940's 'Transporation Glass Candy Containers' to the Christmas Village.

 My first try at a cardboard Glitter House

I love how my mantel turned out. I've really enjoyed the hand-painted shops and now I loved the hand-made glitter houses I hand-crafted this season.

I want to thank you for stopping by 'My Little Colorado Cottage' I hope I can encourage you all to just step outside the box when crafting and have fun.

Until my next post....

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Thrifted Christmas Treasures - Decorate with Me

 Hi Friends,

Today, I'm getting out my Thrifted Christmas Treasure I've found this year and incorporate them into my vintage decorating for the Holiday season!

All year I have been picking-up jiggle bells when I see them

A year or two ago I bought a white tree for a $1.00 at 'Dollar Tree' and today I'll be incorporating the thrifted bells to adorn this white tree.

also, a couple of weeks ago I thrifted a grab bag of very small bottle brush wreaths so I'll be using them also.

cute little plastic Angel

this little wreath had two tiny brass bells and gold twine wrapped around it

Because the white tree is on the high boy in the guest room I dug out these super cute cake or muffin picks I thrifted I think 2020?

a couple more cupcake picks a plastic Santa and a paper angel. In the ironstone dish I have a frosted bell with a glass ball/dinger made in Japan

Cute little tree I think.

Thank you so much for stopping by  'My Little Colorado Cottage', I'm slowly getting out my seasonal décor, so please check back to see how my Christmas home decorations are evolving this season.

May God Bless You and Your Family this Holiday season,
