~ Christmas in the Living Room ~

Hello Friends…

Time for some Christmas in the living room… our favorite room this year.



The tree corner.





I brought out all my goodwill firkins and placed them on my shelf with stars, pine and fake fruit.





My Meijer's Charlie Brown tree. Plays the song. I love it!



Reindeer from White Sheep Farms. Snowballs by me.



Goodwill Santa.

Good will wreath, Santa and wall box.





The Living Room Christmas tree…



This whole display was a major building process that took a while to get just right.

I made the Candy Cane’s and dehydrated the oranges. The garland is coffee stained cheese cloth. One large package that I cut length wise down the middle so I had two long pieces. The doors I have been collecting for a long time. I have 12 now and intend to build a wall in my basement like Kendra did.

Goodwill gourd! The best kind!



Frosty intently watches over the tree to make sure no Primcats climb it. LOL!  The Tattle Tale in the tree helps too. (by his arm)

I really hope you all enjoy this tree as much as we do. It’s much more primitive than I’ve ever done.



The over all effect is just wonderful in the living room. It glows and makes me smile!!!! Mr. Primcat and I just love sitting here staring at our beautiful tree.

I have also decided that I have no intention of taking it down after Christmas. I will remove the candy canes and add some other natural element in their place and leave it up well into the new year. Probably until February. I intentionally didn’t Christmas it up for this purpose. I really wanted something that could weather the winter as decoration and not just Christmas.




To the opposite side now…





My critter shelf with my handmade snowballs.







All from the goodwill… Rocking horse, Folk Santa, tree and crock.

Finds from The Old Brick House in Waynesville, NC

Hello prim peeps.

Remember I posted that when I was in NC I found a cute little Prim shop in Waynesville called The Olde Brick House. Probably not because it was way back in July. I'm a little late! Oh well! I just came across the pics!

Well, here are my goodes!

3 little blossom Bucket sheep! I’m a sucker for a tiny blossom Bucket. lol!

 
Bahhhhhhh!


A very grungy bonnet. This is now in the living room on the chair on the hearth. I did not like it with Lecia's Bonnets. Her's are so much better.





  


Lastly the set of keys. Hung them up there too. :)



I love all these pieces and I will definitely go back to this prim shop again.

Until next time…
