tick - tock ... a Vintage Christmas

Only a few days now...tick-tock. The entire month of December is often a blur, a flurry of activity... cleaning, decorating, baking, shopping, wrapping, parties, dinners, eating .... how do we do it??? Four more days....much more to do.

This post is the last of the pics from my house. My main tree was sized down this year, up on the table.... yep, my baby Bella. I even had to get creative and find a container for the gifts, or they all would be toast by now.

my vintage laundry tote holds the gifts in safe keeping

Only a select few ornaments graced the mini tree this year. I ended up with a clock theme for this table, and of course, I couldn't finish without a few of my extra special books.

I thought I would try potting my new mini tree in a pot of dirt..... it did help with stability, but not enough water for the newly cut fella (check picture at the end of post...no good, thank God I only need to make it 5 more days)

love my french birds...from my friend Teresa.

these clock ornaments were a great find this year.... fun. fun. fun.

love my clock parts under glass

and a partridge in a pear tree...

my before tree...lovely

this morning ... yikes, 5 more days...

where, oh where, have the needles gone... all over my table, that's where.

May your next few days be productive

... safe... and filled with good cheer.
