Christmas Time Is Here...Oh Dear!

Wow ~ before we know it Christmas will be here.  It's been a whirlwind of activity around our place.  Due to the recent Texas ice storm, the Holiday Home Tour was cancelled and rescheduled for this past Saturday where hundreds of people came through our home.  I hope my style and my design conveyed that you don't have to have a McMansion nor do you have to spend a fortune in order to create an inviting and personalized environment for you and yours.



As a token of appreciation for having my home on the tour, I was presented with this beautiful architectural rendering of my house created by Shelley Minnis.  Thanks Shelley ~ I will treasure this forever!

Then on Sunday, I was honored to have Hilary Walker from Our Style Stories, drop in for a visit as she did a photo shoot and style story for her blog.  I hope you hop on over to her site and take a look at my home as seen through her eyes and her beautiful photography. 

Additionally, while Hilary was here, we had a cozy conversation that's up today on her site as a podcast.  Be sure to listen to it here.  Thank you Hilary for our wonderful time together!     

I'm so glad you decided to stop by during this busy time of year.  Hope to see you back here soon.  :) Dana

Christmas Baubles and Such


Funny how the most simplest of things can bring delight if you look for the beauty in them.  Over the years, I've collected vintage beads, baubles and ornaments.  I pull them out each year to bring a touch of Christmas to each room.  I think these glittery vintage Christmas balls (a flea find) are so pretty sitting on an old ironstone platter amidst silvery mercury glass garland.


Twinkly lights reflect off the glass beads and make everything seem magical!



Frosty, vintage snowflakes on vintage Limoge china ~ so regal. 


And a footed crystal bowl holds randomly collected one-of-a- kind ornaments.  Each one is like a unique piece of jewelry. 

It really doesn't take much to add a bit of Christmas to a space.  Simple little touches like these are subtle hints that Christmas is drawing near.  Happy Friday to you ~ hoping your weekend is filled with  splendid things!  XO
