The Ice Skate Tree and The Dining Room

Good morning!

Today we are in the dining room .. the dining room is where the ice skate tree is displayed .. it is a flocked skinny 6 foot tree from Walmart .. 

 It sits on a wood crate to make it taller ..

 The topper is a plaid ribbon bow and also a pair of decorative felt skates ..that I added a wrapping paper tube between them with hot glue so then I slip the top of the tree thru the tube ..

 Under the tree are a collection of decorative and real ice skates and a cute snowgirl with her skates on ..The Let it Snow Bungalow.. my chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands on Design from the Chalk for the Home series hangs on the wall

 those same plaid ribbons are woven thru the tree..

 the topper

 lots of different skate ornaments have been collected since I was a child ..

 and the skater in the photo is me :)

 the view of the tree from the kitchen ..

 there is a magnolia garland over the window and a book page wreath hanging in the window..

 on the server is a little greenery box with a couple Santa's and a bunch of Fitz and Floyd reindeer frolicking ..

 the stitching is a free design from Plum Street Samplers and it was on Paulette's blog a few years ago ..
Chelsea made me the JOY letters from vinyl on her Cricut and we put them on the back of this Rae Dunn canister ..on the front it says HOP ..

there is a 3 foot tree in a basket .. it doesn't count towards the 13 trees .. it has house ornaments .. silver greenery and red stripe ticking fabric torn in strips ..

 the table runner is a vintage crocheted tablecloth with a piece of buffalo plaid fabric on top .. easy and cheap :)

 The back of the buffet has this Lizzie Kate Merry String .. a Fitz and Floyd Santa ..

 a Rae Dunn pie plate ,, dept 56 Santa's

With Thy Needle and thread Snow for Christmas .. the little camper ornament form Walmart .. a Christmas tree farm sign 

Dept 56 skating Santa's .. Merry Brew from Plum street samplers ..little Fitz and Floyd Santa's 

I found these 2 vintage Santa's at the good will last week .. they are really cute and were extremely cheap! the house lantern is from Walmart ..and there you have a glimpse of all the Christmas in the dining room!

Thanks so much for your visit!
