Merry Christmas To All!

Yes, Virginia, Kathy DID do some Christmas decorating!  My living room is very low-light so I apologize for the poor photos.  I tried changing the f-stop and I tried using flash and concluded it is a good thing I don't make my living as a photographer because I would starve.  You'll just have to trust me that it looks better in person - LOL!

The angel chime is a project I did a couple of years ago.  I scored a bag of vintage plastic angels last weekend and another candle chime yesterday at The Bins so there is another one of these in my future.  The one I found yesterday is an orange and black Halloween theme.  Who knew!

The jewelry tree and the renovated Putz houses are new for this year.  The little houses were in rough shape when I found them but I dampened them and clamped them down with clothespins and got them straightened out.  Glittering and decorating them was great fun. The pink trees are Magpie Ethel goodness.

Another project from Christmas past.  The triptych was estate-found this year.  I actually got two of them and decided to keep both for my Christmas decorating this year.  I like the way they "ground" the little vignettes.

I hope you are all enjoying a "sparkling" Christmas!
