Christmas Decorations~ Vintage & New & Handmade

I found this real birds nest and added a small vintage
bird from a card game, then I added a definition from an old
dictionary "nest..." I glued it onto a child's wooden
block and just decorated the block with another part
of the old card and some vintage 40's fabric.



We love decorating for the holidays. I got a jump start this year when
I found big bags of vintage ornaments from my
local thrift store. I was so lucky to have found the "atomic" metal ornament!
 

I just made this the other night, a small porcelain espresso cup. I just
added some oasis inside and glued the bottle brush tree in place, added
some "snow" around the base and an adorable vintage plastic
miniature deer. Then I added just a touch of glitter. These are easy and fun.

Below are two of my handmade miniature Christmas stockings that I made from a cashmere sweater and some vintage fabrics.
