Frosty's Top Hat

I haven't taken my Christmas down yet. Not because I didn't want to but my Joe wants me to leave it for awhile. So...it is still up:) I am going to slowly replace some Christmas with some winter decor and hopefully that will make him happy:) I did set a new table though. It is COLD, (as it is everywhere right now) and we have snow on the ground and yesterday got freezing rain. So, a "frosty" table seems appropriate. So we begin with Frosty's top hat!

 Which sits on a Frosty cake plate.

I gathered 2 napkins in a ring of jingle bells, berries and pine and added a snowflake.

 I also used my snowman flatware

 mixed in with my black handled flatware. I love the checked tablecloth as a background for this table.

 These little top hats are ornaments that I found at Cracker Barrel years ago.

 Love how they are decorated.

 I added a snowman runner

 and surrounded the snowy candle holders with a white and a red berry ring

 Here we are at night.

 These salad plates are some of my favorites.

 The stack is my plaid chargers, an embellished white dinner plate and the snowman salad plates.

 These snow ball votives light up the cake plate.

 I wasn't sure if I had showed you this snowman that I got this year from CTS. I love him!

Thanks for stopping by.

~~~A New Welcome~~~

We are in that time between Christmas and Spring. I get a little antsy to change things, decor wise, so start moving things around, it is the domino effect:) Here is what is on the credenza now. I love this lamp, found it years ago at a little shop at the beach!

 This is the vase that was on the winter mantle. I redid what is in it. The candle holder mimics the leaves on the vase.

 This is a miniature tsonso chest. I have 2 saki bottles on it and that is a candle holder in front.

 Just some greens and sticks in the vase.

 Another of my pottery switch covers here. It is a weird coincidence that we had a 4 button switch in the old house in the foyer and the same thing here!

 The mirror that I got last year/

This is a candle holder, there is an LED votive in there:)

~~~A New Winter Wreath!!!~~~

 Hello! Today I wanted to share my new "winter" wreath! I made it with mostly things I had on hand, then added faux succulents!  I wanted something simple that would carry me for the few weeks til SPRING and Easter and bunnies etc.!!! Sorry fpr the background but my work station is in the storage area of the basement. I will share that one day soon:):) I always make my wreaths on an easel. It makes it much easier to see for correct placement. I started with a grapevine wreath and the first thing I placed was this piece. Then I cut a fern apart and added fern fronds all around this center piece.

 Next was some pods that I had.

 I also added some pieces of eucylyptus that I had...

 and the faux succuletns.

 I had 2 of these pod picks that I liked and placed at the ends of the wreath, top and bottom.

 There are different ways to fill a wreath: fully, all around, along the top, or along one side.  For some reason I am always oriented left to right so when I do a wreath on one side it is always on the left side.

This God awful looking thing is my glue pot. It has seen ALOT of use. I have foil under it to protect whatever surface I am working on. Now that I have a good work station, I will fix this up a bit:):) I didn't realize how awful this looks til seing the pictures. Why is it that sometimes we don't see what is right before our eyes????

 These are called glue pellets and that is what I use in the glue pot.

 You could also cut up glue sticks if you can't find the pellets. I swear, once you use a glue pot, you will never use a glue gun again. This is so much eaier and faster and puts more glue on a pick. You have more control, I feel. I have had this one glue pot for about 15 years now!!! Forgive the stick that is in there in this shot. I fished it out after I took the ictures:):)

 Here is the wreath all finished and on the front door.

 I love my black door cause everything seems to pop against it.

 I am very pleased with the result and won't tire of this. I have seen real and faux succulents being used all over blogland these days. I am looking for a terrarium so I can make one for in the house. I may also go get some more faux ones and do one in a trifle bowl!!!! Doesn't that sound interesting??? Have a GREAT week my friends. Thanks so much for your visit. Please leave me a comment so I know you were here. I TREASURE your comments. XO, Pinky
