I have been wanting to decorate for Christmas but decided to hold off until after Thanksgiving. It's been hard to do that, so I added a wreath to a dress form in my dining room to help soothe the decorating urge.
It's the perfect wreath for this dress form.
I recently added a cement cherub into my dining room. I found these two at an estate sale and decided to keep the one on the left. It has a pedestal for more height and the aged patina is extraordinary.
I have been so busy keeping my space at Carriage House Antiques filled with vintage Christmas. Christmas sales have begun in the store and we are focusing the specials on certain items each week.
The Shops at Ridgefield are having their Holiday Open House this weekend of November 29. I stopped in last weekend and found this awesome pixie tree and vintage beaded ornaments at Vintage VanBorg.
All I did was add a vintage receipt holder to the bottom. Love it!
I bought this fabulous Victorian bassinet from Steeplechase Antiques in Barrington. I had been eyeing it for sometime and when the price was right, I had to have it! I'm fooling around with evergreen decor and wreaths right now to decorate it out in my sun room. It is the perfect amount of chippy and rust.
Here's another angle...
I'm still fooling around with this door also. I had bought this door a few years ago and couldn't let it go. Recently I found this super cute Santa picture at Warehouse 55 and decided to put the two together. I'm still working on it but I like it so far. It pays to hoard vintage tinsel. I can't wait to incorporate it into my Christmas decor.
I was looking for the most delicious pumpkin muffins at Fresh Thyme Market today but they didn't have them. Chocolate muffins would just have to do. While checking out, I began talking to the lady behind me. She was buying pies and a beautiful orangey potted mum. After I checked out, she handed me the mum and said, "Happy Thanksgiving!" I was so touched and thankful that I gave her a spontaneous hug and she happily hugged me back. That act of kindness brought a tear to my eyes and warmth to my heart. Bless her for her kind actions. May we all do a random act of kindness to bring some small joy to another's life!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
Happy treasure hunting! Get ready for Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.
