Hi loves....we welcome you to Estelle's
and are so glad you are here today!
How is the decorating going?
I have a few more items to place here and there,
but for the most part....the house looks and feels like
the Christmas season!
We even have temps down into the 30's!
Now, I am LOVING the pinecones
I painted last summer specifically for
the tree this year.....a fun little DIY PROJECT.
They are snowkissed with a touch of sparkle!
I am going to do more of these next summer...
it was such a pretty touch of nature addition!
I also purchased a new tree skirt
in a fur trimmed ivory cable knit....Mae loves it
for a little nap under the tree.
I love the way the mantel turned out
and I am waiting on a new wreath to place on the mirror....
then I will share what we came up with for our woodland theme!
This was another little DIY that turned out so cute....
just simple, yet festive!
Do you love snowglobes as much as I do?
Father Christmas in snow white......
he now resides on the hearth.
This may be my favorite new purchase of the season...
this gorgeous print...I may have to just keep this up all year!
And, to think it was on clearance....it's stunning!
Just a side note....I no longer burn candles because of Mae Mobley,
but I did purchase seasonal scents that I maybe will use at a later time
and out on the patio!
The details and colors of this print just are so beautiful......
So, with the foyer complete and the tree all dressed in her finest,
we move on to the dining room....
so much to do...it's a happy time though isn't it?
Gift wrapping today...how about you?
It’s beautiful! Every single photo is beautiful! I loved the little tree in a jar. That would be something I could do with the quads. I’m going over there to spend the night.
ReplyDeleteI tend to use bags instead of wrapping. Easier on my arthritis....
Thank you Linda! I told Miss M she should do the little snow jar with Luke...such an easy and sweet project...inexpensive too! Have a lovely time with the quads!
DeleteIts all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI am working on the Christmas Tea that I am hosting tonight at my home! Glad I'm already decorated! I just need to do a bit of cleaning, table settings, and getting the tea things out!
How wonderful Deanna...I simply cannot wait to read all about the tea!
Deleteohmygoodness. I am finding that a visit to Estelle's is as addictive as
ReplyDeleteLindt's chocolate truffles.
I have accomplished much today because I haven't been on the computer until now.
yesterday morning I had my morning coffee with you. and at 1pm I looked up from
EVERY Christmas post I think you ever did. actually I only got up to 2012.
I have more to look forward to. I snapped out of my addiction to eat a late lunch!
little adorable Luke had put on a presentation at 4 years old where he played every
part! his stuffed animals all had starring roles too. it was too delightful!
you make Christmas come alive just like my little mother always did.
I always thought of her as the HEAD ELF! LOL. XO♥
I simply love your comment Tammy...how endearing to remember your Mother as HEAD ELF...beyond precious! I am so happy you found some joy in the posts....I love it so much when people share their family and their life adventures...stay warm and happy!
DeleteAre you not burning the candles because of Mae's past seizure issues? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteLove your posts! Wishing you the mostest Merry of All!
Hi Tobe....yes, I no longer burn candles since Mae's seizures nor do I use any sprays or scents that may subject her to a comprimised breathing. The specialist did not feel this contributed to her seizures, but I am taking no chances since she is well again. Hope you are enjoying a merry Christmas season!
DeleteThank you for sharing your home with us...it is truly inspiring...ever since I watched "Heidi" with Shirley Temple, and she gets a snow globe for Christmas, I have LOVED them!...Enjoy your cold weather...over here in Pensacola I do not think we are getting the snow...just the cold and rain...which is fine...Blessings!!
