Here is the view when you stand in my living room and look into the dining room. You can see my white garland that hangs between the rooms that is hung with vintage ornaments (it is held up with fishing line).
If you look to the left you can see my china hutch. Last year the top was decorated with snowmen, but this year my forest of vintage trees has grown and is sprouting on top of the hutch.
The white plastic tree plugs in and a light inside rotates and the color changes from red to green. This tree and the pink ornament tree were new finds this year.
If you turn around you will see this little vignette living above my dining room window. I was about to ask Tom to hang a long shelf above the window, when I realized my window coverings actually made a little shelf. The line of vintage trees were up there lickity split!
In the first picture you can see a peek of my kitchen. I love to decorate my kitchen windowsill.
The little garland is from Into Vintage. I especially love these silly cans of Can'd-Ice that I found this year. The grinning snowman make me grin right back at him.
A few more snippets to come....
I really love the window in your kitchen above your sink, I had one in my previous home and loved standing doing dishes and watching the deer, snow, kids playing and the changing of the seasons. Now I look into a wall, it drives me crazy.

The white garland with antique ornaments is gorgeous. You have such a knack for display.
I wish I had saved a few of those Can'd Ice cans. Of course, they are cute. Why didn't I see that instead of the rusty, leaky cans I threw in the trash?

That white garland is so pretty! I've been wanting a white tree to show off my vintage ornaments, but no room for another one. You've given me an idea for next year! Now, to hope I can find some white garland on post-Christmas clearance...

I've been anxious for this post. It's always so much fun to see your holiday displays. Your vintage tree collection is just divine and that garland above your doorway is brilliant. Bring on more home tour posts!

Wow...you weren't kidding when you said you had a huge collection of vintage trees! Love the way you displayed them.They look so cute on your window covering too!
Leave it to you to find the coolest spots to decorate :-)
Thanks for sharing Snippets #6
I might do a little re-arranging with my trees now!

Can'd Ice! What will they think of next? :-) Every little nook and cranny is so charming. I love that little glimpse all the way back into the kitchen in your first pic -- vintage Christmas as far as the eye can see!
PS Thank you for the shout out. Merry Christmas!

I have to ask, what exactly was canned ice used for? I have never seen it before! Thanks for showing more of your home all decked out in vintage finery. Can't wait for more!

Where do I start? I love it all! That garland is stunning, and I love the Christmas tree groupings, and I love your kitchen window! I've decorated my kitchen window also. I can't believe how far behind I am in visiting-- your Christmas theme posts are so great! It's been so much fun to see what you've been up to.
Hugs,
Jill
