Christmas Copy Cat

Happy Weekend Everyone!

One of my favorite link parties is Debbiedoos' Copy Cat Challenge, where we take an inspirational image from a magazine, book, Pinterest, etc. and then try to "copy cat" the look. 

This time, I chose an image from one of my favorite Christmas books, Merry and Bright , a Country Living Publication that came out several years ago. It's full of wonderful vintage ideas  for decorating with a Vintage Christmas.

I don't have a lot, but Red Transferware is always a staple for my Vintage Christmas decor.

And of course a little glittered Bottle Brush Tree

This is just an easy little "copy cat" with a lot of charm.

I'm posting early since Monday is The Marketplace

over here at Common Ground.

But run by Debbie's and get your Copy Cat on in plenty of time

 for her fun party this Monday December 10!

 Have a great weekend!

Vintage Inspiration #117 Gifts from the Heart

Time for another Vintage Inspiration. I know this month will just fly by...and I know you all feel it too. There were so many wonderful links last week, I could feature all of you. Today I want to share one outstanding post that just personifies the joy of giving at Christmas.

Syliva from Sylvia's Simple Life shares her wonderfully made
"Gifts from the Heart".

If you don't know Sylvia and her beautiful blog, then you'll want to take this opportunity to visit. Each post is an amazing experience, and you feel like you've spent a moment just sharing her world. Here are a few photos from her post from last week, each one makes you feel like you're flipping through the pages of a magazine. The following images are some of her yummy recipes that we might gift to special people in our life. 

Enjoy...

Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, Sylvia!

Top Three from Vintage Inspiration

Hi Everyone, 

here are the top three from last week's party. 

We had a great turnout,

 thank you so much for joining in on the fun. 

My sweet friend Julie from Idyllhours, found herself in a vintage ornament dilemma, would she "simplify", or would there be just "one more tree". Julie has a stash of vintage Christmas that will make your head spin...these amazing pink beauties just have to be admired!

I'm always inspired with Kate's decorating and photos. You'll want to see all that's going on in her amazing Christmas Kitchen from Kate's Place. Bread boards and Plaid wrapping paper are just two of my favorite things!

And Trisha from Glass Slippers is dreaming of a vintage Christmas with her wonderful vintage ornaments and Christmas decor. Love this little vignette with a great scale and bottle brush trees!

Thanks so much for joining in last week...so much Christmas fun!

Hope to see you Thursday morning for 

Vintage Inspiration

Hope you're having a wonderful week,

xoxo,
