Decking the CAGES....

I bought a couple of birdcages

last month...

 

 

and thought I would deck them out for Christmas...

everyone is feeling Merry...

 

 

some music to tweet along to,

they are Dreaming of a White Christmas too...

 



 

a pair of reindeer

are bedding down in this giant cage...

 



it covers the top of the armoire...

 



 

I am a little behind in finishing decking my halls,

we decided to do a couple last minute projects...

 

and you know how last minute projects are,

they always take longer than expected...

:-)

 



 

I hope you are basking in the Wonder of Christmas....

Decking the Halls...

Today was the day,

the day I toted

 all the Christmas boxes downstairs...

 

 

I am intoxicated by glitter & sparkle,

and tired...

on Black Friday,

  I went to the final sale of a favorite retired antique dealer...

 

this tweet birdie bowl

was among the goodies

 I brought home....

 

I put it to work,

holding baubles and hooks...

 



it is time to fluff curls

and sprout wings...

 



I have the pink balls on the tree,

but there is much more to do...

 



 

even though my tree came pre-lit,

with mini-lights...

 

 I added a strand of C7's

 

I read this as a tip on Pintrest

and love the result,

it gives the tree that extra pop...

 

 

I am always

Dreaming of a White Christmas....

Unboxing the Tree...

I unboxed my new Christmas tree today,

that is as far as I have gotten...

 

 

the holidays go by so fast,

sometimes it's nice to linger...

 

I am smitten with my new tree,

and could almost just enjoy it plain,

unadorned...

 

 

fresh and pristine as the first snow...

 

I have learned many of you are looking for a flocked tree!

I bought mine at McLendons Hardware

a small Northwest Washington hardware store chain.

but those pink balls,

are calling...

 



as if,

this wasn't all enough goodness

for one day...

 

the mailman delivered

the new David Austin catalog today....

(don't forget to order your free catalog)

 

what to do?

 



 

am I going to TRY

to take it slow...
