I know for some it's still to early to decorate for Christmas, but I just couldn't help myself.
Here is the little table in my entryway.
My husband has been collecting nutcrackers his whole life. Those are only a few of the many, many nutcrackers that we have. I put together the branches tonight - I mod-podged some candycane stripe wrapping paper onto a Libby's can (cookies coming tomorrow) and stuck some floral foam inside. I bought the branches at Michael's in 2006 but hadn't found a use for them. I stuck those into the foam and then put some tinsel in to cover the foam. When I have some more time, I'd like to go back and hot glue everything together and neaten the tinsel.
I made the Let It Snow cross-stitch banner over the summer - it's so cute!
That's the pot of a little table-top tree I have. I don't love the brassy finish, so I used some metallic taupe paint to make it more my style.
Half-way done, you can see the difference in the colors.
Ahh, much better - and so cute all lit up!

I love little Christmas trees - I have a set I usually put out on the counter - very fun.

What a cute little tree. I have been very tempted as well to break out the decorations early with all the neat ideas I keep seeing in blogland.
ReplyDeleteMy son keeps picking up nut crackers and looking at them. I asked him about it and he said they just intrique him.
