It’s Christmas crafting time! Today I am joining my thrifty chick friends for our monthly craft challenge. This month’s theme is ornaments. I love making handmade ornaments, as they add so much warmth and personality to any Christmas tree. Vintage and Victorian style ornaments are my favorites and I have made many different ones over the years. Today I am sharing a little tutorial for some charming DIY Victorian style Christmas ornaments.
Merry Christmas! Today I am excited to be joining eleven creative bloggers for the Christmas Home Tours hosted by my dear friend Angelina of Petite Haus. If you are visiting from From House To Home, or if you are just stopping by today, I am very happy to share my holiday home with you!
“It’s Simply Christmas!” Embracing The Beauty of Simple and Elegant Old World Christmas Style
Merry Christmas! It is has been such an exciting and festive week here on the blog! Yesterday I offered “A Warm Holiday Welcome” to my readers with a mini-tour of my music room and a first look at the vintage and French Country Christmas touches I have been adding to our home for the season. Today I am joining my dear friend Marty of A Stroll Thru Life for the Christmas Home Tours 2018 featuring 30 bloggers sharing their gorgeous Christmas decor. If you are coming over from or if you are just visiting today I am thrilled to have you!
This year I was craving more simple holiday decor that I could decorate and put away without much mental or physical stress. I decided to do less is more, but also to focus on using decor or creating vignettes that are really elegant and beautiful. I also wanted to create a vintage French or old world European Christmas feeling and ambiance. As I started decorating I focused on things that are “simply Christmas” to me.
