Show and Share No.241

It's that time again, time for my weekly Show and Share Party. I have so much fun every week visiting with all of you and getting inspired with all the neat things that y'all share here. Linky parties are a good place to get inspired and it's also a great way to meet new people. So, while you are here, please be sure to visit around, because that's what makes these parties so much fun! I am happy to have you here and I hope that you are happy to be here. Today, I will start wrapping my gifts. Have you wrapped yours yet? After I finish that, I hope to get crafty and make a few ornaments. I will be posting on Instagram what I am making, so be sure to follow me there. Okay, let's get this party rolling!!
                                                                   Blessings,
                                                                      Linda

New This Year~My Hot Cocoa Bar

Well, I finally got it together this year and set up a "HOT COCOA BAR" in my kitchen. For the past two years, I have wanted to do this, but just never got around to it. So, it looks like 2014 is the year to finally have this fun festive bar at Coastal Charm. A few days before I started all my holiday decorating, I came across this bar cart that I had painted gold a few months ago. My plans for this vintage cart was to sell it at the shop, but it looks like it won't be leaving here anytime soon. It fits perfect in this spot, so I think it has found it's new home. Now, let's see what my hot cocoa bar looks like for the holidays.
                                                                Blessings,
                                                                    Linda

                                                     Pull some vintage items together
                                                     then add some hot cocoa and
                                                     look...you have yourself a fun
                                                           "HOT COCOA BAR".
                                   
             


                                                 Bright festive colors are perfect
                                                         for the holiday season.

                                          This cute little fella, was the perfect touch
                                           to welcome all our friends and family to
                                                                      the bar.

                                            Everything you need for a yummy
                                            cup of hot cocoa is here waiting for
                                                                      you!
         
               

                                                    Goodies can be found to add
                                                            to your cup of cocoa.

A vintage Santa mug is a must for
this vintage lovin' gal.
 
                                  As you see here, I don't make up a cocoa mix,
                                  I rather have individual packs of several different
                                                                  flavors.

                                             Peppermint is one of my favorites.
                                             You can find it and other wonderful
                                                    flavors at your local Target.
                                     
                                                     My vintage silver tinsel tree
                                                     was the perfect size, so I knew
                                                     this is where I wanted it to go.
                                    



                                                               I never have a cup
                                                               without adding these.
                                                        
                                                 A vintage milk bottle and
                                               mason jar always add charm.

 
 
                                                Thank you for coming by and
                                                 taking a look at my new bar.

Christmas Decor~In The Dining Room

Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year — family and friends gather,
there’s a spirit in the air of goodwill towards men, we celebrate the birth of Jesus,  we make memories and keep family traditions going. I have always loved decorating for Christmas. I like cozy, thrifty, and vintage and love when a home comes alive with the feel and aromas of the season. Today, I am sharing my dining room with all of you. This year, it is primarily decorated with greenery, pine cones, and vintage Shiny Brite ornaments. I chose to use only aqua, white and silver in the room this year, and I am really happy with how it turned out. Thank you for coming by and I hope you have a fun weekend, shopping, wrapping, baking or whatever might be on your calendar.
                                                                Blessings,
                                                                   Linda

                                                        Dining Room 2014

                                                  I just added to what I already had
                                                  on my buffet...simple is so 2014!


                                                 Pulled all my aqua and silver vintage
                                                 Shiny Brite ornaments out and placed
                                                                  them here this year.


                                                         My ironstone collection
                                                                 stayed in place.



                                                  No Christmas tree here this year...
                                                    instead I decorated my shutter.


                                               Can't go wrong with boxwood, burlap
                                                             and vintage ornaments.

                                         Dried hydrangeas, pine cones, and silver
                                                ornaments fill my dough bowl.

                                              This extra large pine cone came from
                                                                    my own yard.

                                                     These pretty hydrangeas also
                                                            came from my yard.

                                              The only thing that I purchased
                                               this year, were these cute gift tags
                                                            from Michael's.
                                              Note: I love using things like these
                                              gift tags for something totally different.

                                                   Added a few pretties to my
                                                  shelf for the holiday season.




                                             More of my extra large pine cones
                                                 were added to this vignette.
