Christmas Vintage Glass Ball Vases

Pin It







Where to put those little sprigs and twigs I keep bringing in the house? The fresh scent of evergreens... I took the tops (the metal hanger part) off of some vintage, silver glass balls. They immediately rolled over. So I added some grain. Just a 1/2 tablespoon to each and they stood upright at attention. Then in went my fragrant clippings. The sweetest Christmas decorations. I feel a bit like a kid again.









There is so much sparkle going here when I put them in a silver dish. The lip of the dish is tarnished but the inside is polished. I kind of prefer this two tone look.









I had thought about setting them in snow or large crystalized sugar, but I'm sticking to silver and the bright light this reflects. Instant mercury glass vases for 5 cents each.

Shabby Whites and Romantic Grays

Stunning vintage, chippy white-gray double doors for sale at the Design House last weekend in Leesburg. The wreath is just the right size to compliment the doors. Would you repaint this? I like it just like it is chippy white over gray.





Such a sweet little bird and the same chippy white and gray colors.




I love ruffles and wool and flowers. Sheep have two out of those three things and they eat my flowers from time to time. This is a 16 x20 painting I did to go with white decorating. My lambie is center front. She is a border leicester and has the curly ringlet wool.

More white ruffles on these amazing winter cabbages. Nature has lots of ruffles!

A photograph from early spring when I could not get enough of linen and whites. I still have a yearning for that combination. So very romantic!

A real wreath with dried flowers for only 69. Stunning and it was large, too!
