START OF DECORATING

I have done a little holiday decorating today.

This plaque I found in a free pile at a yard sale quite some time ago.

It had two holes, one in the top and one in the bottom where it must of been nailed to a wall.

I just love the wee little child.

I added some brown tulle, some rusty little bells around the top and a piece of ribbon for hanging. An organiza bag filled with surprises, acorns, little pinecones, ornaments and more rusty little bells. Finished off with a bow made from vintage sheet music.

(don't be afraid of the bear, she won't bite)This image I found looking around at some of my favorite blogs, it was a free image to use.

My Figgy loves sheep so I figured I would embellish this image for her to use in her new wooden item she will be using as an advent display for the holiday.

I think she will really like this one!!

I have used some of the items I purchased awhile ago, see this blog post

I shredded some of the red and green tissue paper, antique dictionary pages and vintage sheet music for the nest. I used the candycanes I embellished with my own vintage lace and trims. The nest has some of the following; a vintage green nightcrawler metal holder, vintage wooden

blocks, two antique wooden spools with grey wool.Pine cones and pipberries.

Aunt Ida's croquet game balls.

Lastly a pheasant.

I hope you have enjoyed my nest and my other little decorations.

The tree has made it on to the porch.

I will put that up in next few days.

Thanks for stopping by.
