~Christmas Tour of Homes ~

Well, it is ALREADY December 10th and I cannot believe it! I have always said this month goes by quicker than any other month of the year! I still have so much to do!



BUT, today alas, I am hooking up with Rhoda at Southern Hospitality for her Holiday Party! Please go over and check out her blog, because it is marvelous!! But also the other awesome bloggers who have linked up!!



So, what are you waiting for? Come on in!














This is a "Just Because" photo!! I was taking pictures outside and happened to notice sweet Bella watching me through the door!













My Santa ~ please excuse the flash! I got him a couple of years ago at Art.com. It was CHEAP!









The tree from the door as you come into the house...



After I painted my dining rooms walls the WONDERFUL Rosemary Sprig color from Benjamin Moore, I decided to use pinks in here which I really love! Looks great against those green walls. My wreath is just a Hobby Lobby boa wrapped around a Styrofoam ring. I LOVE that! And OF COURSE bottle brush trees galore! LOVE'EM!!










CUTE!! I found the trees and the plates at TL Maax....LOVE ME SOME MAAX!




Wreaths on the backs of the chairs~~





Of course my rabbit! But let's look a little closer.....What is that on his arm???





Oh my gosh!! LOVE THIS TINY STOCKING!! I got this from Dawn at
The Feathered Nest!! I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this!! I don't think I can bear to pack it away after Christmas! It will probably stay on the rabbit year round!! It is glittered and has an itsy bitsy jingle bell on the toe! SO ADORABLE! Thank you Dawn, for being so dang talented!









Is that a pink dragonfly? Yep! He has the Christmas spirit too! I'm just sayin'...
















Well, that's about it for me today people! I am already late getting this baby posted!! Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!! I pray for health and happiness and blessings for you all!!

  1. Oh, I love this so much. I had seen some of your touches, but seeing the whole thing is a double WOW! And you're right, Lou Cinda, that little teeny tiny stocking is SO cute. I loved seeing the feahter wreath, all the bottle trees, your big tree, and your lighted wreath on the door. And of course that cute Bella! Love the wreaths on the DR chairs, the swan filled with greenery, the dragon fly, Santa... all of it!

    XO,

  4. Ironically, I just made a wreath for my daughter's friend and used exactly the same ribbon as in your first photo! We must be twins!

    A lovely home, obviously decorated with lots of love.

    Love your decorations and love your pinks! I'd love to do that but I'd be before the firing squad! I like all those bottle brushes, too. Where does everyone get those? I never see them! And I love your bunny and teeny stocking...keep it out all year!!

    You have a lovely home! :-)

  7. Reading about your dragonfly reminded me I bought a package of Christmas Butterflies at Michaels back in October ~ I need to get those out! I know I've said it before, but I love that Santa picture. I should really look for something like that for next year. I'm a big fan of pink, too, so I love the bottle brush trees and your feather wreath. Very pretty!
