Hello everyone. I got my tree decorated yesterday and a few other things. I did the house in red and silver this year and I love how it's turning out.
We got a smaller tree this year so I could put it in this vintage galvanized bucket from Europe. I placed the trunk of the tree in a coffee can and filled it with water and then set the coffee can inside the bucket and placed stones all around to hold the tree in place.
Rosemary tree from Trader Joe's. You all know it's my favorite place for fresh flowers! It smells so good!!
Vintage grain sack rolls.
I used a mix of vintage and new ornaments and added some of my petite grain sack stockings that I won from Maria last year.
Vintage French laundry tape, tinsel, and twine grouped together in a vintage French pickling jar.
One of my favorite vintage ornaments from Germany.
I have many more things to decorate around the house, but I thought I'd show you a sampling of what I've done so far.
I'm making dinner tomorrow for our family, so I've been preparing for that as well.
I am so thankful for my family and that we are all happy and healthy!
What are you thankful for this year?
I hope you all have a beautiful and joyous Thanksgiving!!~
Sincerely,
Melinda
You are on top of things Melinda
