Pink & White Christmas Continued….

Have I mentioned that pink is one of my favorite colors? So the pink holiday continues with a look at the hutch. Over the years I have collected pink houses, pink bottle brush trees but the best find was the pink reindeer.  

I like to leave the dishes peaking out and embellish with vintage jewels

Aren't the reindeer a wonderful find?

Jewels as tree toppers or as a present under the tree.

The reindeer is the star!

 

Delightful little houses…….

From our house to yours, hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

The winner of our Ramsign sign giveaway is Nancy @ Nancy's Daily Dish!!! Thank you to everyone that participated.

Pink & White Christmas

This year I banished the color red from my tree. I happen to love red, it is a close cousin to pink, one of my favorite colors. But there is not any red in the rooms the tree can be seen from. So this year I focused on pink, white, silver, gold or bronze.  It turned out to be a more cohesive look and flowed better with the rooms.

Every year we buy a tree a little too tall, so we have to lobe the very top off of the tree and there is really not enough room for a tree topper. This year I have a bejeweled bear holding court near the top of the tree.

Years ago I did paper cuttings to add to the tree. To me they are like icing on the cake, they add light and unexpected interest. At one time I had a whole heard of animals but they went missing in the holiday clean up one year. I keep hoping they will turn up, where oh where could they be???

 A little herd of menorah moose.

On the right you can see the hutch decked out with little houses and bottle brush trees. I'll give you a close up look at those a little later……

Despite taking about 30 pictures of the tree, I don't feel any of them captured it's true beauty and sparkle. And of course we are missing the wonderful smell.

Get Your Santa On

Last weekend I attended something extremely silly and very fun: SantaCon! To quote it's organizers SantaCon is a "non-denominational, non-commercial, non-political and non-sensical Santa Claus convention." Basically, everyone dresses up as either Santa Claus or one his merry elves, to play reindeer games, gathering in various spots around the city as the locations are announced via Twitter. Here's a few shots from the convention taken with my phone.

A Grand Central gathering.

Polar Bear Express underground on the subway. 

Convening in City Hall Park.

Santas' helpers and Santas in love. 

Festive footies.

Drinking eggnog.

So many Santas in one day, so so much fun to watch. It happens every year in different cities so keep it in mind for next year! Ho ho.

Henry at the Holidays

Remember Henry? He is my special garden friend wintering on the porch. He is back with a new look sporting evergreens and a little bit of eucalyptus for the holiday season. 

The pearls have been replaced with a snazzy red bow and he is still feeling patriotic, flying a small flag.

A friend to keep him company.

Another friend.

Henry will see you in the spring!

I think this Ramsign address sign would look great on the Cottage porch. Would you like one for your porch? They have several other great designs and colors to choose from.
