Believe


Can you Believe that Black Friday and Small Business Saturday are now behind us.

I am still trying to wrap my brain around the fact that it is going to be December SOON.

It's time to start planning all of the dinner parties, luncheons, company get-together's and gift buying.... and then there is New Year's Eve to consider...



don't forget to make your bar sparkle
... or that extra special one-of-a-kind hostess gift.




my buggy...
yes... full sized, Antique, horse drawn buggy... sits in the middle of my Barn. 
It is always so fun to make it sparkle.




you should see my suitcase after this weekend....
crazy! fun! Someone.... me...needs to get my butt to the Barn and refresh.
On the home front....Home Tour Time.

For all of you who have come to the Holiday Home Tour that I host every year, you will remember that I go a little over the top. 

I feel like I need to put on a show.... after all it is not all about the tree... it is about seeing how Christmas can be displayed in different ways in other peoples homes.  How mixing Vintage collections in with your own Holiday treasures can be magnificent. You also see different paint techniques on walls, floors, doors and kitchen cupboards... and then you take all that inspiration and go home and create.

Over the top!!


I always start with clearing all the table tops and mantels.  Clean. Clean. Clean some more.  Then it is all about a vision and props... bringing out my special vintage collections... moving things around..


this is just a start...props, collections...moving things around the house to achieve my vision... after taking this photo, I moved the book and added a vintage table top candelabra that lights up within the tree.  It looks fabulous and will look even better when I bring out my garlands and ornaments to decorate the tree.

this is just a start....

below is a picture of everything that was once on the table tops... now, a new home for them some where in the house.  I always say.... you have to make a mess before you can create.
You can't create anything new without first dismantling what you have.

Beautiful photos lady!! Would you still have the serendipity christmas ornament? If so - can I buy from you? What about the 3 off-white bottle brush Christmas trees in the first picture? I would take those as well if you have them still!! As always - everything looks amazing and I'm sure your home will be all that and more!!! Thanks!!! Robin Wilt

Robin
Of Course you can buy them!!

Thanks for the separate email... and by the way, I dropped them at the post office yesterday. You should have your special package by Friday.

I wish all my blogger friends shopped this way.

Layer it on. Change it up.

Time for a refresh. Have you ever looked at an area in your house and thought I am done looking at that mess.   Or maybe it's just time...
