Decorating for Christmas

I wanted to share some pictures of my friend Joy's house from savvycityfarmer http://savvycityfarmer.com/.  Her house was beautifully decorated for the holidays.


What a great idea for using a high chair to hold books.


I especially love her mantle.


Here is a cute display.


Simple greenery really created a wonderful farmhouse look.  I love seeing how Joy puts things together.  It's never the same.

Since I have been feeling the holiday spirit along with some creativity, I created some tree decor with bottle brush trees and thread spools.  I loved using the darker spools that still had thread on them with vintage jewelry as an embellishment.


I only had 2 larger thread spools and thought that they would make great looking trees.  I also used a miniature oil can for one of the tree bases.


I created three of the trees with vintage trim and vintage jewelry as an embellishment.  I found a few metal paper holder stands to use as the base for the trees.  

Merry Christmas.  Happy Holidays.  Wishing you peace and endless creativity!
