Merry Christmas

Here is the finished product. I don't know about you, but I love everything about Christmas!!

A Country Christmas

Here are some Christmas decorations that I put on my tree this year.

I love these snowmen heads. The corn cob nose sticks straight out. They are so cute!!

Here is my Charlie Brown Tree. I decorated it will some rice size lights, cinnamon sticks and some oranges that I bought at my favorite store in Amish Country - Country Gatherings.

These antique rose back chairs came from my husband and his family. I am not sure about you, but I love them! I have 2 of them and I love the cloth seats and the wood work that is shown in these chairs. You can tell that they are so old and they hold so much character.

I Love This Stand

I have this stand currently in the front door entry way, but I normally have it in the family room between 2 chairs. This stand was made by the same Amish folks that made my black cupboard. They normally make is in a red (which is shown), a black, and a mustard..... they might even make it in an off white or a cream. I am not sure you can see the detail in my pictures, but they normally layer colors..... for example - the red is over top of a black and then it is sanded off to give it that primitive country look and that then allows the different colors to come through.

Wall Shelves Around the House

I don't know about you, but I love shelves and I love them even more if they are primitive looking. I love that worn out, brushed off, beat up, crackle paint look. Here are a few pictures of some of my shelves that are throughout my home.
