The BIG day is finally here...are you all dressed up and ready for the party? I have been looking forward to this day for weeks now, so yes...I'm all dressed up and ready for some good ole fun! As I said at Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays earlier this week, I would have plenty of thrifty goodies and ideas to share with you...well let's look and see what I have up my sleeve. I discovered that I have way too much Christmas decor to share with you today, so I have decided to spread it out with another OPEN HOUSE next week on the 16th. I didn't want to overload you with 50 pics and I still have several trees and my outdoor decor still to come...so please be sure to come on back on the 16th and we will party some more! Thanks so much for coming today and with that said...let's get this party started. Nobody likes a Scrooge so please be sure to mingle with the other party goers and have a HOLLY JOLLY time!
Merry Christmas Y'all!!!!
Linda
Santa says WELCOME...come on in and take a look around!
I'm sooooo very happy that I found this handsome ole fella...he has
been MIA for the past three years!
Greenery that I purchased at the end of the season last year...think
it was 80% off!
My milk glass vase was a garage sale find!!!
Remember these snowflake ornaments that I posted a few weeks ago?
Well this is what I did with them...whatcha think?
Here is my little $2.50 Target tree again...well worth every penny
that I paid for her!
Always like to add a little bit of coastal feel
to my decor!
So now here we are in my kitchen and just look at these cutie patooties!
Meet BILLY BUTTONS...isn't he just the cutest thing ever?
Found this RIBBON CANDY TREE at Big Lots last year...got it
right out of the box while the employee was taking a break...I
know...I'm a real bad girl!
My family started collecting BILLY BUTTONS for me years ago...I even
have ornaments...I will share some of them later on
when I do a post about my trees...so
stay tuned!
More IKEA ornaments at 50% off...just used some fishing line and tied
them to my IKEA light fixture...so very simple!
Another thrifty garage sale treasure...50 cents and she was mine!
I wish you could see this one in person...he has
a little bounce in him!
I like to display our Christmas cards so all the family can enjoy reading them.
Found this old jug in a thrift store in Auburn a few weeks ago
for only $3.00...dressed her up with some magnolia and
bling and voila!!!
Christmas cloche...I just had to have one so I could
attend
Marty's Christmas Cloche party...make
sure to go by and check out her fun party!
Here is my holly wreath from Ballards Backroom!
I attached it to a bulletin board that I covered
with green burlap...I'm really lovin' how it turned out.
Red burlap bow...please excuse the coloring in this pic...not
sure why it looks so faded.
Hand painted Santa...only paid pennies for him...yes...he was
a garage sale find too!!!

Everything looks so festive. I love your ribbon candy tree and your Billy Buttons collection is adorable. I'll be over in the morning once my post is published. La
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about you today when I saw more Oregon Ducks clothing at the store :) Go Ducks!
ReplyDeleteOK, now that I've got that out of the way. Your decorations are so much fun! Love your home and thank you so much for hosting this fun party.
all so pretty. this is so fun to see what others do for decorating.

XO,

Everything is so pretty, Linda. I especially like the all white Santa and that vignette. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteEverything is looking just beautiful and so festive Linda!
ReplyDeleteLove your decorations! I agree thrifty finds are awesome. I need to get mine up and photographed. I am so behind this year!
ReplyDeleteI am not dressed up. In fact, I'm sitting here in my pj's but I sure enjoyed the tour! Hoping I can come join the party tomorrow. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for hosting - I love seeing how everyone decorates for the holidays and getting new ideas! I really love the starfish that you used!
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas decor, everything is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAlthough all your decorations are pretty, I've loving the traditional red and green wreath and the way you decorated your mirror.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Christmas you are having with all your pretty decorations!! Thank you for letting me join your party!
ReplyDeleteYour house look so Fun and Festive! Of course, I love the little white tree and Santa. The snowmen are my favorite... so cute! I have errr... like 50 snowmen. They were collected over the years so that makes it okay, haha!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited for this party! Thanks for hosting!
Happy Holidays!

Linda,
ReplyDeleteYour home looks very festive and pretty. I love your table arrangement with the little tree and the coastal touch you added! Thanks for the invite to the party and for hosting it.
Hi Linda, thanks so much for joining my party with all your wonderful Christmas decor. It all looks so good and cheery. I almost bought that ribbon tree at Big Lots a couple of days ago. I need to join your party, too.
ReplyDeleteWow!So many wonderful ideas!!! I can't wait to link up!!! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteLove the ornaments hung over the window!!! That is brilliant!! Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting a fun party Linda. All your Christmas decorations are beautiful! I love the burlap around the candles - so simple and pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove that white St. Nick. So glad you found him. How do these things disapear?
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting.

Oh so pretty. I love it all. Your Candy tree is just wonderful. Love it. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWow! There is so much to love - the snowflakes on the pearl garland, the white tree in the silver champagne bucket, the green board behind the wreath with the burlap bow, looove the shiny ribbon over the burlap bands on the candles, and the candy ribbon tree from Big Lots...too cute! But, I do need to warn you. At our Big Lots, in the area going into the rest rooms, hanging on a community board, is a 'mug shot' of you - and a warning that says "this woman will shop out of unpacked boxes if you turn your back for one second"!!! :)
ReplyDelete**Caro won a ticket in the lottery and now we have to figure out what we are going to do. She can't go alone - we may send Alex just to be with her on the trip and give her a break too. Tickets are craaazy expensive! I hear some kids can't get teachers to excuse them...they should just make it okay across the board for students to attend this once in a life time game.
Thanks party girl!
Rhonda
I love, love, love the candy Christmas tree in the kitchen! I am going to head to Big Lots on the off chance they might still carry them. Beautiful job decorating for Christmas!

Linda, it's all beautiful! I'm joining your party too, there are so many in blogland this season. Love your white tree & all the bargains you've found. I've picked up a few myself at yardsales.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many unique things, so pretty! Thanks for stopping by.
I love that we get to carry this party on longer.
ReplyDeleteDue to difficult times this year we are not having Christmas (the logistics don't work) so I am enjoying the online parties and gathering ideas for next year. I have memories of ribbon trees from my childhood. I may give a try to recreating the elegance of one of your all white displays.
The fun thing about blogging is seeing different traditions and how holidays are celebrated all over the world. Looking forward to seeing more!
I love a good party! Thanks for hosting--great stuff here!
ReplyDeleteI Love your cheery style! Thanks for the fun party! I can't imagine what you have left for next week! Jacqueline
ReplyDeleteEverything is charming and beautiful! I love the ornaments hanging in the window and the white santa is show stopping!
ReplyDeleteGwenny
Linda, this is all so terrific!!! I am going to have lots and lots to look at for inspiration next year, better take notes!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda,

How lovely and inviting your home looks all dressed up for Christmas! I love your Billy Buttons, I've never seen those before, but my favorite thing of all is the Ribbon Candy Tree. I can't believe you found it at Big Lots of all places. Reminds me of my childhood and the hard candy mom used to always put out.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your trees next week! Holiday Hugs and Christmas Cheer coming to you and yours from Florida.
oh my goodness, i love your white/silver display with the milkglass and the snowflakes. just gorgeous. and i don't usually do red and green, but that ribbon tree looks so like candy...i could just lick it! is that weird?

ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful! Thank you for inviting me to your party! I can't wait to visit with the other "guests":)
ReplyDeleteNow that I have a chance to sit down and enjoy... I love your snowmen... Billy Buttons! I had to do a google search. He's wonderful! I'd love to have your collection. Can't wait to see more of him. I'm loving the Holly Wreath too! It's looks great the way you've displayed it. The ribbon tree from big lots is a great find! Looking forward to seeing your trees!

ReplyDeleteRunning late, so I was just now visiting from Marty's Cloche party. I'm so happy I dropped by, because not only did I get to see your pretty cloche, but the first part of your beautiful tour! Too late to participate this week, but maybe I can make it on the 16th. Annie
