Our Kitchen Poinsettia Chandelier

I loved our chandelier, from last year, with the snowy branches from our trees, but yikes what a mess. Needles on the kitchen table...not so good!

This year's version...not so messy!




A view, looking down, to our tablescape below!

Short and sweet!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,

Glitter,Gold and Pearls in Our Christmas Tablescape


  I just finished my, first, Christmas Tablescape for this year. I started with a red, Holiday tablecloth and my red, floral dinnerware, that I used last year, but it just wasn't working for me. So, after finally making up my mind, I decided to go with my simple, white tablecloth and plates and finish it with touches of red and gold and glitter and pearls. After nearly, three hours of tweaking, it's finally complete!

Here it is, with a whole lotta pictures...I sure hope you like it as much as I do!

Pearls and shiney, red glass, beads make a glamorous trail.

Grandma's precious, "poppit pearls" made the perfect napkin rings...do you remember them?
I loved sitting on her lap, popping and un-popping them, for hours!


More of Grandma's treasures.

  I moved this Candlescape from our coffee table that I replaced with our Winter Terrarium.

More of those little details...vintage, golden shakers and our dinner bell.

A beaded napkin ring makes a festive votive holder...Epsom salt glitters on the inside and glitter in gold is sprinkled on the table all around.


A  little chair glam!

The chandelier


A view from the entry and one last look!
Tomorrow I'll be working on my Full House Tour to share in partyland...but, right now I'm gonna go enjoy 12-12-12... the concert, it's been a really long day!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP

Winter Wonderland in Our Terrarium

 This creation is for the little ones in my life and for those of you who are young in heart!

Our terrarium has been used for many season's and Holiday's past, but this is my first attempt to create 
a Holiday scene within it.....I hope you like it!

Up on the rooftop wait the reindeer and sleigh.




A globe encased Santa putting presents under the tree.



Evergreen wreaths on the outside all around.

Icicles and snowflakes hang inside and out.

Two, jolly snowmen take center stage.


My two, adorable snowmen were custom made by Michelle from
A Pinch of Prim on Etsy...this is her listing for an entire winter family!

Happy Holidays,

JP

Our Tree... Snowy, Glam & Glitz

Ornaments in red and gold
Leopard with white feathers
Some are new and some are old 
A few are even treasures
Shimmery, snow balls & rhinestone glam
Full of shine, sparkle and glitter...all adorn our festive tree
that I'll share, now, for you to see!




And this is our tree topper...
"sprinkle sprinkle" little star... made with little Miss Vienna, our youngest grand!
 Our precious cutie pie!

And Kendra, Gianna, Christian and Rocco gathered by the tree.
Tia was away at school. She's our oldest grand and will be coming home real soon!
Here she is all grown up with her boyfriend Brian! 

It's Sunday night...time to couch cuddle w/my honeyman!

Love, Hugs and Kisses,
JP
