Mixing it up a bit....

at Christmastime,
my heart is tugged in many different decorating directions....

I love my primitive 'stuff'...
but
I also love my Old Fashioned,
1940's ~ 1960's
ornaments and decorations too...

so I have been blending the years for my own look...

in my little studio

sits an antique wooden trencher,
it's patina is worn smooth from years of use...
in contrast, I placed a small silver tinsel-tree in it
and draped a garland of pink glass beads on the tree.
then I tucked in faux greens, berries and white twinkle-lights...
and lastly,
I found an old photo of a sweet old farmhouse in beautiful sepia-tones,
with three farmwives standing outside of their garden gate...

see?
...not too bad, huh?

I can get the best of both worlds and love all of it!!

Hoping you all are enjoying your own way of celebrating
with the things you love!
