Simple Vintage Christmas

I was too busy with school projects, papers, and finals to pull out the many bins-full of Christmas goodies this year. So, I only decorated small spots and cubbies in the house. Plus, Grandma and Grandpa will have a big tree up for us this year so the kids are all good with that.

I always like to change things up a little each year using decor I already have but in a new way with a few extra finishing touches I pick up in local shops for inspiration and motivation.

The woodland theme with mushrooms and snow and branches was inspired by a display at Gatehouse this year. Those stripey mittens were my grandmother's when she was a teenager and bring a warm feeling to the snowy table. I dig the addition of my gnome Santas this year to my winter wonderland icy, blue and white theme I usually put out for January. The neighborhood kids that come over especially appreciate that my lamps are wearing hats. 

Yeah, being the stiff and steady sentinels they are, once a year even lamps have to get their crazy on.

Merry Christmas!

Amy's Christmas

Since I wasn't doing my own Christmas tree this year, it was a nice treat to be able to do someone else's. Amy has great taste in color. She bought a ton of new embellishments such as jeweled ornaments, butterflies, dragonflies, flowers, giant ribbon and toile  for her tree this year all in gold, brown, purple, green, and persimmon. It turned out lovely. It might be one of my favorite trees I've ever done.

Repost: Twilight Inspired Christmas Postcards + Doll Update

These are a part of my Twilight inspired series I'm calling "Little Unreliables" which includes all of the Twilight inspired dolls I have made so far (and lots more to come there too!) I painted each image on a wooden plaque which I then had printed onto postcards with a cute, corresponding Christmasy/Twilightish phrase.

The left side of each of the following pictures is the front of the card and the right side of the picture is the back.

"Jacob with your nose so bright...

"won't you guide the dog sled tonight?"

Edward Cullen

"I saw my Twilight Mommy kissing Santa Claus."

"With Jasper...

... all is calm, all is right."

Edward

"Oh, come, let us adore him!"

Alice...

"She knows if you'll be bad or good,

so be good for goodness sake."

"Bella says,

"All I want for Christmas

is Edward's two front teeth."

*Each package contains 12 postcards and 12 envelopes.

*They are multi-packs so you will receive 2 of each of the six designs you see here.

*The postcards have a beautiful glossy finish for the print on the front and a matte finish on the back with the text.

*Each card will not contain the copyright watermark on it

Have a special set of Twilight-loving friends and family that would get a kick out of these cards? Then bounce like a snow bunny over to the shop and snatch up a batch or two before all of the Christmas elves grab them for themselves....

Doll Update: I am still working on the HP inspired dolls so they won't be in the shop in time for international customers to purchase them in time to arrive for the holidays but I am hoping to have them in the shop by Monday so that US folks can grab some in time for Christmas.

Happy Holidays!
