The One With The Christmas Decorations

I didn't get it together enough this year to do a blog about my Christmas decorations during actual Christmas time.  But, no matter.  My decorations are still up, so we can still have a looksy!

This is my largest display.  It's in my dining room and takes seven years to set up.  Or what feels like seven years, anyway.


It's so much fun to see all the new things I've collected over the year and find places to snuggle them into my regularly scheduled Christmas vignettes.


This is a vintage hand lettered sign.  I hadn't heard of Nesselrode flavor before.  So, I looked it up.  Sounds like fruitcake in ice cream form.  Grotey.  But the sign is ever so dreamy.


These are the only vintage glass ornaments I have.  They are my favorites.  I want only my very favorites, and I want them to be displayed so that I can see all of their gorgeous details really well and individually.  This setup works pretty well for that.



 You'll have to excuse the lighting in these photos. NY is a dark place in the winter.  We hardly ever see the sun.  Something to look forward to once May rolls around.

This is my garland of vintage Christmas corsages.  I'm in love!


The awesome set up that the husband put together in the fireplace.  It makes me feel vindicated in my hoarding of Christmas tins.


The felt icicle trim is new to me this year. I love the way it looks on my mantel!


My growing Christmas honeycomb collection!


Season's Greetings to you and yours!
