Winter White Mantel

After putting all my Christmas decor away, I was trying to come up with something still wintery to adorn my mantel with. I brought back out some architectural pieces that I had put away while I had my Christmas village and bottle brush trees up. Then I added some lovely vintage post cards featuring snowy scenes and a frosty tree and snowman. I love this old post ~ so versatile!




I bought this frosty tree at a Christmas craft sale of a friend of mine and I bring it out every year and can leave it up for several weeks!



Pine cone candle under glass.



Serene winter scene.



My sheep painting isn't very wintery, but the colors were right for the look I was going for!

I'm linking up for the first time in quite awhile to the White Wednesday celebration over at Faded Charm.
Don't forget about my giveaway too!! Plenty of time to get your name in the hat!!!

Christmas All Around the House!

It was such a good feeling to finally get some cleaning done and get the last layer of white dust off of everything after our remodel project!! Then I could really dig into my Christmas stuff and work on some vignettes! I try to put at least a little something Christmas-y in every room! I put this fun basket together on this wonderful old chair in my dining room! You can see a little peek of all the snow we've been getting out the window that looks out onto our deck! We got about 10 inches Sat. night and all day Sunday! Now it's gonna get real cold! Yuck!
This vignette in my kitchen is my favorite that I put together this year!! It features all my Santas--most of them vintage! I also added a cute pair of child's skis and a sweet little tree with some prim Santas and quilt piece ornaments!

My favorite is the bobble-head candy container next to the boot with the tree in it!


I found the string of toy wooden beads and thought it would make a cute garland for this little tree! I can't take credit for making the little quilt ornaments. I bought them at a craft sale years ago and use them every year!


This table sits next to my Santa vignette in my kitchen.


I framed this old illustration I found in an antique children's book ~ perfect to keep out all winter long!

The little sheep are new--and totally cute!



The hooked wool tree in the silver sugar bowl was a gift from my friend Katherine from last year! I love it!

I love post cards with birds and have several!


I've had this old German print for a few years now and I love getting it out every year! It reminds me of my 2 girls, one light and the other dark haired! It hangs in my living room and is such a sweet vintage image!


Added a couple items to this vignette in my bathroom. A sweet little tinsel tree and yet another vintage post card featuring sweet little birdies on a branch!

My next post will feature my tree and some of my favorite vintage ornaments!


Thanks for stopping by and hope you come by for a visit again real soon!!
