This year I gathered the box of my mother's vintage ornaments in bright reds and greens and added them to my vintage kitchen Christmas tree. I think this is my favorite tree in the house this year. Many ornaments were given to me as a child so this has been dubbed Grandma's tree.
I have to give the usual props to my hubby because I told him what I envisioned for this little tree and he made it happen. He put the tree in one of my old crocks and placed all my red rolling pins around the base of the tree.
I placed all my candy cane decor above the tree to tie in the candy cookie theme.
The vintage Santa face was my mother's as well and I think it is my favorite of all the decor I have of hers.
I hope you enjoyed the first tree in my annual home tour for Christmas. Next up is my real tree for the year in a snowman theme.
This is so cheerful and pretty Elaine. I always try to think of something different to do with my Christmas décor, but I can never seem to get through the season without my cheery red decorations. The Santa face is just adorable! What a sweet remembrance of Christmas with your mom :>)
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious tree and memory of your grandmother and mother. You know I love color and all that red and white speaks to me.
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas
So cute! I need to find me some vintage items to do the same. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteElaine, I just adore your vintage ornaments on your kitchen tree! I love how you used an old crock for a base. That Santa face is a real treasure and a great remembrance of your mother!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute corner! Love the Santa mask. When I was a child, my Grandpa used to wear one looking just like that :)

Love that kitchen tree with all the vintage ornaments. That whole nook is just beautiful. I love the vintage Santa face, too. Everything is more special knowing it belonged to your mom. It still surprises me every time you mention your husband helping you decorate - he is the only husband I know who does that! Brian wouldn't know how to decorate if it bit him in the butt, lol.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love how merry your decor is! patsy
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! So festive and I adore the Santa hanging - - he's so perfect
ReplyDeleteI bet every ornament tells a story . . .
ReplyDeleteI don't know where to start except that you and I must have been sisters with different mothers! I LOVE the way that you decorate!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting to Motivation Monday!
