Christmas Tour with the Nester

I'm joining in with The Nester

 for the Christmas Tour of Homes

These are just a few photos of our Christmas Tree

in our Living Room.

I do a more traditional religious theme

in the Living Room and Dining Room.

Hydrangea and vintage Shiny Brite ornaments

 with vintage silver tinsel garland

decorate this tree with glitter stars.

This year I used cream, browns, gold and silver as a color theme.

This is the mantle with hydrangea and greenery

 with twinkle lights.

And this is the Dining Room buffet

with my glitter paper Church and paperwhites.

And the Dining table with a vintage goose decoy

 nesting in the large French metal basket.

Hope you enjoyed these few photos,

come back later in the week for more.

Have a wonderful week!

And Christmas Blessings,

Debra

Meet an Old Friend

I have an old friend that lives in my family room,

He's a quiet unassuming little fellow.

My parents bought him for me when I was just a baby,

as he had been gifted to others years and years before.

I brought him up to the Dining Room where the light is better. I'm so glad my parents didn't repaint him or change him. He was given to me again back in the early 80's. I didn't remember him, but he had been kept safe in the loft of my Dad's garage workshop. I'm so glad that we were reunited all those years ago. He has been a joy to have, and each time I see him I think who might have climbed upon his little sturdy body and ridden off into the world of their imagination.

May you remember lovely images

of your childhood Christmases,
