Christmas Views and Snow!!!!


Here are a few more views of Christmas. I added some mercury glass bead garland to my new Pottery Barn piece.



Maybe you remember the old window frame I picked up at last months Ventura Flea Market?? I got some silvery snowflakes and embellished them. Then I tied one to each frame. (Click to make larger)



I added some trees and a white picket fence to my glass enclosed houses.





Snow in Southern California??? I don't think so. My friend Joan went skiing, and brought me back a cooler full of snow.

It made my snowman very happy, as well as me. It has been so cold here lately, there is still a trace left.

We can drive for 2 hours and we can go skiing. We can drive for 20-30 minutes and go to the beach. That's California!



Have a great Friday, and a wonderful weekend!

Everything looks so nice, Rosemary! I always love seeing photos of your home. And how fun to have some snow---she is a very thoughtful friend. We don't get a lot of snow here, too, so it's always kind of exciting when we do. We also aren't two hours from skiing, OR a beach! Lucky you!! :)

Hi Rosemary, everything looks wonderful. Your frame with the glitter snowflakes looks great, but I just love the under glass vignettes.
What fun snow for your snowman. Linda

If it wasn't so late and I wasn't so 'decorated out' I'd drag out those window frames I'm hoarding and do something like this - they look fabulous Rosemary, such a great idea. Love the glitter things available now, especially real glass glitter when it starts to age around the edges and get a bit tarnished....kinda like moi!!!!

Thanks as always for stopping by - always enjoy hearing from you. We've no snow to play in and I've no friend to haul it down from the Blue Ridge Mts. so will have to be patient.

Happy Christmas to you and yours.

Have a wonderful weekend!

That's so cool that your friend brought you snow! How fun! Everything looks so pretty! If it weren't for the earthquakes, we'd be in California cause I love the weather there.

Hi, Rosemary, that snow is too funny! I see you are a busy girl too & are decorating up a storm. I think I picked up the same mercury glass little trees from Kohl's that I see in your post below?! I stopped by there after seeing what others have found & they were having a great sale. Bought a few little things.

Merry Christmas!

Rosemary, you said, "We can drive for 2 hours and we can go skiing. We can drive for 20-30 minutes and go to the beach."

We can too! =) We can ski in New Hampshire, or go to the beach here at home...EXCEPT we can't go to the beach wearing our bathing suits or we'll become frostbitten, unlike you lucky people in Calif! lol

You won my giveaway!!! Please leave your email on my blog and I'll get back to you (I won't publish your comment/email address).

I love how you put the house inside of the apothecary jar! I will have to do that next year. So creative.
