Vintage Bling





Merry Day!  I love taking vintage items and repurposing them for the home!
I took my vintage cookie cutters that I have collected whenever I find them cheap and added a little bling



With my painted breadbox and lavender it helps brighten up my kitchen!
My next project was to brighten up the corner of the kitchen
I found some vintage santas that were at my favorite Saturday stop The Pink House in Weaverville.  These were $3 each and I fell for them!  I love the faces on them.  Great deer and reindeer tutorials, recipes and craft ideas - Rae Gun Ramblings

Christmas at Cottage-Wishes



Welcome to my house: Di @ Cottage-Wishes.  I am so glad Jen decided to invite us all in!  If you haven't seen the tour you must start at her house!  Thank you Jen, love your book.

This year we are in a rental house for the holidays while our house is being built.  I found a few boxes of decorations, thankfully our stockings and a few ornamets were in those boxes!  We are living out of 4 rooms (kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom (2), one with laundry!  It really is working so I know we will be fine moving into 1500 sq. feet.  I really miss my craft and dining room.  So, come on into our rental.

 We decided to have a table tree this year, puppies and babies would just be to much to handle a big tree.  Besides the ornaments could not be found!  Hubby calls tree Tiny Trim!
I added my ladder, crock and favorite decorations in the living room corner

My grandsons love Frozen so, I added a snowman corner as well

This is the counter dividing the living room and kitchen

 On to the kitchen!


 In the corner of the kitchen is a sweet bookcase to hold my treasures
All these items we gifted to me and I love these sweet reminders of friends


My girls were in choir and I truly love the memories we share around the holidays.  When Erin was little she almost lit the person in front of her with her candle signing Silent Night during the candle lighting ceremony at Church.

My mom and grandpops were watch/clock makers-repair.  I always have a clock near by.

Our bedroom is small but holds our king bed and a few dear items

I would usually hang these on the wall!
"Mary did you know" is one of my favorite songs
I have a little Christmas in the corner



 




 Back to the kitchen pass through and were done
 I hope your holidays are full of joy
 That your family is near to you.
Thank you Jen for a heartfelt homewalk tour

The shop was dressed for Christmas
Isn't this wonderful for the holiday's



The art work was beautiful

 But the woven linens were the best...miles of handwoven goodness
