A Victorian Christmas

Welcome to our home~No, it's not snowing here, but
I thought I would add a little of the "frosty stuff" to
put you in the holiday spirit!


A small caroler greets you at the door.


A vintage English chamber pot provides a perfect
spot to display some tussie mussies.


All of the packages are wrapped in burlap,
tied with twine and have tulle fabric tucked
inside to add a touch of whimsy. Handmade
flowers adorn each package.


A CD brings Christmas cheer. Gail at Shabby Cottage Studio
has amazing vintage graphics to create it with too. If you haven’t
visited there, you will love it! I created a complete tutorial to show
you how to make one! It is here.



What would a vintage Christmas be without a “Paris Rose” Marie Antoinette-style shoe? It can be used to decorate any home all year long.



A treasured horse from Italy is surrounded by snow globes and
magical fairies. My daughter has given these to me every
Christmas for the past 17 years.



A girl can never have too many shoes! If you would like to see a tutorial, it is on Terri’s blog here. All the shoes pictured are available in my Etsy shop along with the tussie mussies.




A large wicker buggy seemed an ideal spot to make the tussie

mussies feel at home too.


Wishing you all a Happy Holiday season!
