Shiny Brites, Small Vignettes, The Christmas Elf, and Plumping packages

You can "plump" your little packages by adding a vintage ornament and a piece of vintage costume jewelry to make it look more appealing.  Everyone loves pretty packages.
Don't just plop your presents in a gift bag.  Make it look a little special. Of course, there are gifts that work much better in gift bags, and there's those times when you simply don't have the time or energy to do anything else, but when possible, plump up those packages a little.  Who doesn't like to open pretty packages.

Add a little sparkle with a Christas tree brooch, dangly earrings and a shiny mercury ball.  When I go to a gift exchange, everyone chooses the prettiest packages.  Sometimes the outside package is deceptive though - the same goes for people.
Decorating with shiny baubles.  If you haven't noticed by now, I love, love love old ornaments.  Shiny Brites are my favorites.

More Shiny Brites and Santa making his list.

The German pyramid nativities look so pretty when the candles are lit and the fan blades turn the nativity scene around and round.  I'll post it later when I light the candles.


UH, OH!  I'M PRETTY SURE THAT SANTA WILL NOT BE COMING TO SEE THEO.



THE ELF HAS LOST HER MAGIC.

Don't look so innocent.  We know you did it.
All lit up and waiting for the family to come in.
Merry Christmas to all - and to all a good night!

  1. I love how you decorate presents. I agree that the wrapping and eye googling over the presentation is just as much fun as the present itself. It speaks of honor and celebration of the receiver. Thank you for giving me decorating ideas.

    And sweet Theo is positively adorable as much as mischievous. Elfie must have winked at him too just like my elves wink at my fuzzy boys.

    God bless you with a wonderful joy filled Christmas.
