A Colorful Christmas..............


.........and you were beginning to think my Christmas 
was all white, cream, grey, silver!

Here are a few more touches of red.
Note, I couldn't throw out the lovely pumpkins so 
am using them mixed with Christmas greens and red 
berries at the front door.



Note I've added a few red glass balls to the 
little tree........they came out and 
grabbed me from a K-Mart sale shelf. 
There were the usual bright red 
 ones and then these, a true deep vintage red. 
Yes, a box of these pretties followed me home!

My pic above is not very good, it's of a beautiful 
glass ornament I received a few weeks ago from a delightful 
friend, Jennifer who lives in Atlanta and came to visit us. 
She is a talented artist making beautiful sterling silver 
bracelets and rings......when not flying the skies 
with a major airline! Thanks again Jennifer, I love 
this ornament.
Below you can see it clearer on the website photo. 
These ornaments are handmade in Atlanta, Georgia featuring 
film negatives in a very unusual way. Go HERE to see more 
of Glaklove's amazing creations.....made in the USA!

My 'Bird in Love' ornament....
with the perfect touch of vintage red!

  7. I'm loving your little pops of red, Mary. I think the vintage red is perfect for your decor.
    Your friend sounds like a very talented lady. That ornament is so unique and beautiful. I so admire artists who think up these creative things. I checked out the website and got a kick out of the squirrel on the wire too.
