Merry Christmas!!!
November 30, 2010 20 CommentsHi, there!
Wanna see our Christmas decorations? :)
For our mantel, I wanted to go with something simple and delicate but elegant.
Inspired by our lovely Pottery Barn, I trimmed a little bit our Christmas tree and spread the little branches over the mantel, got a bird house (from a garage-sale), some starfish and corals, an old bottle of milk (from Goodwill), some lights and voila. Done. That simple. :)
This wreath was a TJMAXX find: fluffy with delicate crystals (not real ones). Just to put in front of our U$ 7.00 mirror (yep, garage-sale score). :)
Now, our tree:
I found all these sparkling ornaments at TJMAXX. :)
I was so thrilled. Since they’re “neutral”, anytime I decide to change the color of the decoration I can keep the “crystals” and only need to add some color with bows or balls (like the red ones). These balls were made by Bill’s aunt. Isn’t she creative? I totally love them and think they add that special handmade touch.
Here some more pictures:
I just admire it… :)
Totally dreamy to me. :)
Here’s a link to some of my Inspirational Parties!

Oi, pessoal!
Quer ver nossa decoração de Natal? :)
Para a lareira, queria um efeito de simplicidade e delicadeza mas com elegância.
Inspirada pela amada Pottery Barn, podei um pouquinho da árvore de Natal e coloquei os pequenos cabinhos por cima da lareira, peguei uma casinha de passarinho (de garage-sale), estrelas-do-mar e corais, uma garrafa antiga de leite (da loja Goodwill), umas luzinhas e voilá. Pronto. Simples assim. :)
Esta guirlanda é um achado da TJMAXX: fofinha com delicados cristaizinhos (artificiais). Só para colocar na frente do nosso espelho de U$ 7.00 (sim, garage-sale score). :)
Agora, nossa árvore:
Achei estes ornamentos de Natal na TJMAXX. :)
Fiquei tão animada! Como eles são “neutros”, qualquer momento que decidir mudar a cor da decoração, posso manter os “cristais” e só preciso acrescentar cor com laços ou novas bolinhas (como as vermelhas). Estas bolinhas foram feitas pela tia do Bill. Ela não é criativa? Amei totalmente e acho que elas adicionam aquele toque especial de serem feitas à mão.
Mais fotinhos:
Eu só admiro… :)
Um sonho para mim. :)
