Lots of stuff to share...



Hi, all!

I am finally getting into the Christmas spirit. I am a late bloomer, so to speak. It usually takes me until mid-December to get around to decorating, so, I'm actually ahead of the game this year. Okay, to be honest, I haven't ACTUALLY decorated yet, but I DID get a too, too cute pink flocked little tree at Michaels yesterday. It's PINK. AND flocked!!!! So cute...Oh, and it was 50% off!

And it has lights!!!! FUN!!! Now to decorate it...

I went thrifting with miss Tiffany this week. I got some GOOD stuff!!! A whole tub of yummy colored glass balls for $1.50. It did include some stinkers, and the lady at the thrift store wasn't interested in keeping them, even though I told her I would pay full price for the rest, so into the donate-to-the-thrift-store-pile they go!



Don't those colors make you happy? Although, the camera doesn't do them justice. The light, faded green ones are my favorite this year...



I also found another white cabinet to line with wallpaper for $3.99. Remember my $1 cabinet? I think this one will go to my mom for Christmas.



Here's a stack of yummy sheets and pillowcases...


I forgot to take a picture of my favorite find of the day...my flocked deer. OH. MY. GOSH. So adorable. It is now too late, there's no light whatsoever, so, I'll take one soon. And, I'll show you what I did with them. My favorite wreath evah!

I have been a busy little elf, crafting away making these out of old spice tins:

And last but not least, here's my finished calendar:

Whew! That's it for now. Have a lovely night!

Tammy....I Love, Love LOVE your advent calendar. I was telling someone about it the other day. you had showed some snippets on another post and I had seen it on my google reader and then forgot who did it. I have been searching my reader ever since trying to find it! It's the best one I've seen yet!

Hi Tammy,
Great finds. I bought that same tree at Micheals but in white to put my pink and aqua ornaments on. I haven't got it put up yet, hoping Sarah will help me soon.
Hugs,
Kathy

Hi Tammy, I heard you came in to show us your magnificent calendar, so sorry I missed seeing it in person it looks so fun! I just unearthed another box of pink angel hair, this batch is lighter pinkish white and in the original box which is red and green kind of weird.Didn't know if you found a use for your hot pink batch?

Oh my goodness, your things are lovely! I love the tins and your calendar. Very vintage-y. I did one too, but it had a totally different look. Excited to swap with you soon! :)
