While in search of more holiday gnomes, at Home Goods, Bud found a new santa for me....a santa fairy. One kind I didn't have in my collection. He's pose-able, so I placed him on the fireplace mantle with the elves. And speaking of elves, I went to Michael's and purchased a few items to make an elf wreath. The wreath is on the fireplace brick, just above the mantle of elves..

Of course, I had to bring out the "Believe" that Bud carved years ago...

For a few days, a couple of hours a day, I have been busy with my craft brushes also...I bought some red glitter glue and have been 'painting' the red vases with the glitter. They are now filled with artificial velvety poinsettias, on our Christmas present...a new dining room table and chairs that was delivered Tuesday afternoon.
Looking through the vases from the "other side" of the table...
Love it all. That Santa with the fairy wings is really cute and your wreath is adorable. The elves on it look like the ones that I remember having around when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteThose vases are beautiful and look fantastic with the poinsettias in them.
Thanks Ann. The photo really doesn't show how bright the red glitter is.
DeleteCongratulations on that new table and chairs, a lovely addition to your home. And what a beautiful fairy Santa. Never heard of one before, but now I'm one of the elite! :-)
