"Share the Joy" Holiday Party

Bella Dreams is having a Party!

A "Share the Joy" Holiday
Decorating and Craft Blog Party!



The party is an all inclusive fabulous fun trip
 of anything Christmas!
So be sure and head on over after your visit.
Names of participants are on the left side bar.



Last fall I shared my "Holiday Cupboard"
that is in my family room downstairs.
I rescued it from my flea market space a few years ago.
It holds whatever the season brings
 in kitch and cottage-y fun.

Vintage white pottery vases of all kinds are my staple.
Although, for this Christmas, many of them have had to
find temporary homes elsewhere in the house.



Putz houses, paper and chalk churches, old candy tins,
and nativity lambs all live together in perfect harmony!











This is one of my favorites,
 a "Sees" candy promotional sleigh.

And look who's driving...
a flying squirrel, in goggles, no less!







Tiny top shelf for paper houses.









Plaid tray with dog






Nativity set lambs.
 Oh, you know I just love these little babies!






And vintage children's Christmas picture books.








A Stack of painted white suitcases tops it all off.



Christmas is such a wonderful time of year.
 I've decorated with new eyes
and a fresh perspective this year,
and it has been such fun!

Love to each of you,
and the best of Christmas wishes!
Debra

p.s. I'm a little behind in visiting everyone,
I hope to catch up with all of you this weekend!

  7. Debra,

    Your amazing, I kinda like my small crowd...I can barely keep up with them.
    Love the luggage, Ralph Lauren did that in his Beverly Drive store in Dallas, the Bushes neighborhood. He also painted wooden barrels bright white and stuffed them full of Hydrangeas.
    Then painted wooden ladders and hung them horizontally from the ceiling, gorgeous displays.
    Your cupboard is just precious.
    I am decorating with different eyes this year too. Shedding the trends.

    Stay warm!

  8. Debra,
    You can move all your things right into my house 'cause it would all fit right in. Everything I love is in your home. Beautiful.

  18. Your cupboard is filled with the most delicious things! I really love the suitcases on top, I've been thinking about finding some for the top of my armoire in my bedroom. Extra storage too!

  19. Most of all I LOVE the white cupboard but, after that... the suitcases on top are such a great idea. The sleigh with the mouse & goggles are cute. I have a thing for lambs but, had never thought of using nativity lambs grouped together! Thanks for the ideas! Merry Christmas! Charlene

  22. Love your cupboard and everything in it. Makes me happy to look at it. Thanks for stopping and your sweet comments. If you were talking about the white and red tree it actually is new, well new a couple of years ago. There is a shop out here in the country that is very rustic and I got it there.

  25. Everything looks just lovely! You and I have the same decor taste! And guess what, I found a little chalkware lamb at the Flea on Thursday! She let me have it for a dime. I was beyond tickled. LOVE your colors, so pretty!
