Deck the......Bed and Bath?


I don't traditionally decorate the bedrooms or bathrooms for Christmas, but decided I needed a little glittery wreath to hang over a large mirror in the bedroom.




I picked up a few odds and ends that were 60% off at the fabric store, plugged in my hot glue gun and viola!


I may have to hit the after Christmas sales to stock up on supplies for next year!


This little pink glitter house ( complete with dog ) was a gift two years ago. I finally found the perfect spot for it on a shelf over the bathtub.


As long as I'm upstairs, I might as well gussie up my mannequin head and dressmaker form.  :@

The Vintage Baby

What do you buy for the child who is sure to appreciate vintage toys and room decor?

Here are a few things I found for little Finley's first Christmas.



She will probably never play with an old "record player", but the graphics on this 45 are so adorable. And there is that organ grinder monkey on the bottom.  :@




A little black Scottie dog to display in her room. He was missing his eyes and nose, so I gave him some button eyes and embroidered a new nose and mouth. And stitched up the holes where the sawdust stuffing was coming out. Ruff, ruff.



Since Megan and Dave both work in "retail" I thought it only fitting that Finley should have her very own cash register.




And, Megan, I know she is going to LOVE her rabbit fur muff with the doll face. She will probably want to bring it everywhere she goes. Kind of like your J.W. dotted Swiss skirt you wore over your regular clothes. Some battles were just not worth fighting.
