Did everyone have a good holiday? We were surprised, and delighted, to have a white Christmas! My mom's flight back to Florida was canceled just in the knick of time, so she could enjoy the rare winter wonderland here in Dallas.
Before I start packing it all away, I'll share a few more little vignettes around our home. These goodies that I made up for Maurie's clients were so cheerful, and fun to put together.
I just couldn't resist this sweet alpine tree the other day, with its half price tag :)
This amazing pine cone was given to me by a friend. I have never seen anything like it!
Some instant art, made with ornaments from the dollar bin.
The silver trays in our bathroom, always a favorite of y'all.
Baby Reindeer and his Little Girl ended up on the mantel this year.
Turned out it was a little too cold to sit out front this year, but we were ready!
I hope your holiday was cozy and warm, wherever you may be!

Andrea, didn't you enjoy that wintry day yesterday?! We even made snow ice cream last night...yummy!!! It was so nice to eat in the dining room, taking in the beautiful scenery. It was the perfect backdrop for Christmas day! All of your decor is beautiful; and the silver trays...love 'em! All of your plaid accents make such a pretty vignette. Your vignettes are great!

What fun that you got to experience a white Christmas! I'm sure you had a wonderful time with your family. Thanks for your sweet comment ... and, you're right ... it's wonderful to be able to visit all of our holiday posts throughout the year whenever we feel a bit bummed that our holiday decor is packed away. I'm so glad to have found your blog, too! The last few snippets of your holiday hoome are gorgeous ... love the framed art you made, and, yes, I always love seeing the silver trays! Happy New Year ... look forward to seeing many more of your inspiring posts!

Andrea, thanks for sharing these last glimpses of Christmas 2012. I love them all, but especially the tartan ware. I have a few pieces myself. One of the projects today is fix the shelf they sit on and put them all back.
