Winter Wonderland

The feather tree I posted about here is up and decorated along with some other Christmas treasures.

I love these little trees in the foreground. They were part of my wedding decor. Yup, I am one of those crazy people who get married in December. The advantage is that each year as I pull out my Christmas trove I get to relive the memories. Which are even sweeter this year as 10 years ago we got engaged and were beginning to plan it all out.

The advent calendar is one I picked up on clearance at Target the day after Christmas last year. I think I paid under $8 for it. I don't have any treats in it - yet.

The tree is incredibly hard to photograph against the window. I think it needs a few more ornaments. I have some glass snowflakes somewhere but at the moment they elude me.

The solid white snowflake ornaments on the tree were given as favors at my wedding.

The snowflake with a jingle bell at the bottom I got at our local Dollar General as well as all the glass ball ornaments. The silver fabric snowflakes are some I picked up several years back at Marshals.

Here it is all put together. I hung the larger snowflakes from safety pins on my curtains. The scarf is one my brother's girlfriend made for Steve. He won't be wearing it this year - sorry sweetie. ;)

Our front door isn't immune from the winter wonderland treatment. All of these snowflakes were purchased at Dollar General or the 99cent store. I simply wired them together with some 24 gauge wire. The whole thing was $7 and the kids love it because at night a couple of them light up and flash blue.

I hope you enjoyed my winter wonderland!
