An Easy Holiday DIY Project With Lots of Sparkle...

Happy Tuesday Everyone!  I hope you're having a great week so far
and that you're enjoying your holiday shopping and decorating.  I 
finished with all my decorating this past weekend, including the tree.
I wanted to share with you an easy DIY project I came up with that I 
am crazy about.  It all started when I saw this strand of faux pearls strung
on wire and I wanted to put them to use in a project.  So I decided to 
wrap them around some two foot garden topiary frames that I had.
To add lots of sparkle and bling I hung vintage chandelier crystals
that I have had kicking around for awhile onto the wire.
I LOVE the way they turned out!

Here are the finished products!







This was just so easy once you have all the materials.
Hope you enjoyed it.  If you have any new Christmas decor projects you 
did this year I would love to see them.  Leave me a comment and will
stop by to check them out!

Enjoy your week!

Delightful Place to Check Out...



I recently found the most amazing shop, on line.  It is such a fun place to 
meander in and get some heavenly ideas.  It is call 
Provincal Home Living out of Australia and is 
definitely worth the visit.







They also have a blog that I have now placed on my sidebar.
It is here if you want to take a peak.

I hope you are all enjoying the holidays.
And, you can always leave me a comment
and let me know what you think. 
I'd love to hear from you.

A Little Holiday DIY...

I hope everyone had a terrific turkey holiday!  Hard to believe it is
now time for holiday decorating.  I wanted to share some diy
decorating ideas with you.

This is just so easy.  Any clay pots will do.  These vintage pots are so unique.
You can do this in any kind of wire carrier or even just a tray of any
kind like silver, wood or wicker.

This is a great alternative to traditional garland.  I love the use of natural
greens and berries.

These beautiful faux berry wreaths make lovely place setting tags
or use them to drop down over candles to add a beautiful bit of 
color and detail to the base.

Love the use of natural branches, berries, burlap and wool
throws for a warm holiday table setting.

And how cute are these wine bottle toppers!  Just a wee bit of 
sewing, a vintage bauble and you have a very memorable
hostess gift.

I'm hoping to start my own home decorating this week.
I will share with you as I get it completed.

Have a wonderful Monday everyone!

Holiday DIY...

How are you all doing with any holiday DIY?
I have a couple projects lined up.  Here are my raw materials.

Lots of sparkle and vintage style.


And all this greenery too.

This is a project I would LOVE to do!   A vintage sparkling brooch wreath.
 I found this on Pinterest but I could 
not find the original site it was pinned from.  SO gorgeous!
I think I may have to just figure this out.  :)  I'll let you know
if I do!

Have a great Friday everyone!
