Flocked Tree Love!

Happy Saturday! 

I'm here with the last of the living room trees! This flocked tree came to live here 3 Christmas's ago.. I love the way this tree looks.. there are lots of ornaments.. and it just looks so peaceful!

 This year some vintage shiny brite ornaments from my mother in law gave the tree a little color..

 Under the tree is the cross stitched nativity piece from Plum Street Samplers.. a nativity and a glittery church..

 Wreaths with flocked greenery hang in the windows..

 DIY book page ornaments .. lots of glittery deer ,, and I love this little bottle brush wreath I found at Macy's last year after Christmas for about a dollar!

 The Santa tree filled with stitched Prairie Schooler Santa's in the background..

 More of those vintage shiny brite ornaments..

The last 2 Trees in The Parade of Trees

Good Morning!

Today I have tree #12 which is the flocked tree in the living room..

 I got this tree last year ..it is from Walmart and is prelit ..

 Under the tree I have the manger and 2 putz like houses.. I added a string of white lights stuck in the bottom of the houses and strung over the top of the manger..

 I used black gingham ribbon and chalkboard ribbon throughout the tree.. and I also made a big bow for the tree topper out of those same ribbons.The tree is filled with silver and platinum colored ornaments.. some burlap flowers and DIY book page ornaments..

 It is so hard to get good photos of this tree.. but it is really pretty in person..

Tree # 13 is the only tree upstairs ..isn't it the cutest!  It is a 4 foot tree..

 I made the sweater balls last year using sleeves of a thrift store sweater to cover Styrofoam ornaments..I also made the aqua plaques last year ..they are wooden plaques that I had used for a Halloween project and just flipped them over and painted them aqua ..I the used puffy paint to write on them and of course sprinkled with glitter :)

 All the ball ornaments are from the Dollar Tree ..I want to collect vehicle ornaments with a tree on top ..so far I have the camper and a truck ...but they have to be red and white or aqua ..so I will be on the hunt after Christmas :)

 I used a bunch of different ribbons and burlap to garland the tree and used the same ribbons for a bow tree topper..there are pearl picks stuck throughout..I used a vintage crochet tablecloth for the tree skirt ..Well.. thats it for this years parade of trees .. I hope you have enjoyed seeing them as I have enjoyed decorating them and showing all of you!

The Flocked Tree

 Good Morning ! I am sharing the new flocked tree that we got this year ..One of my smaller 4 foot trees got damaged..and I told my husband I wanted a small white tree to replace it and that I would get it after Christmas ..A day or two later this huge flocked tree came home with him :) Can you believe it came from Walmart ?!?

 I already had my ice skate tree here in this spot all decorated ..but this tree wouldn't fit in the dining room where the smaller tree was last year . So we dragged the ice skate tree fully decorated into the dining room ..

 I decorated the flocked tree very simply with dried hydrangeas from our yard..the book page ornaments I made last year ..burlap sunflowers..burlap ribbon ..birdhouses painted white .. and silver and white ornaments ..

When I get some time I will probably make more of the book page ornaments since they look so pretty on the tree..

Under the tree I used a vintage crocheted table cloth for the tree skirt ..on top of that is a galvanized bucket of evergreen branches with pinecones ,ornaments and a burlap bow.. One of the glitter houses from Homegoods sits next to the bucket..

 It matches the flocked wreaths I had made that same day the tree came home ..when I didn't even know I was getting a flocked tree !

 Thank you all so much for all your visits and wonderful comments !

Christmas Dining Room 2013

 Today I am showing you our dining room decorated for Christmas ! When we remodeled in the spring we got this new dining room set , so this year our dining room looks totally different !

 I loved decorating the hutch with Fitz and Floyd Santas, I have some on the inside as well as on this ledge and on the buffet. The glittery house is from Homegoods, I have a Dept. 56 Santa in the cloche.

 In the china cabinet , I kept my estate sale cream colored dishes, added some Fitz and Floyd , and some big sparkly ornaments in the bowls, with some greenery springs... On top I have some roosters and a flocked garland.

 The chandelier is amber colored , the walls are a pale grey .. It was so nice to decorate this room !

I used an old quilt for a table runner, and placed the burlap wreath I made in the center. I used a silver tray on top of that and that's where my biggest Fitz and Floyd Santa sits..he is a fabulous piece !.. I used fresh greens from the bottom of our Christmas tree, dried hydrangeas from our garden..some platinum colored sprigs and some ornaments from the Dollar Tree. The book page trees are also on the table , one is on a pedestal plate .. There is also a stack of the cute BHG dishes from Walmart .. I got the barn scene salad plates.. Love them !

 For our table setting ,there are red chargers.. I am using the white plates from Dollar Tree , with plaid homespun napkins and the BHG plates from Walmart ..

I got this little glass canister at GoodWill yesterday added a truck ornament and some trees from the village on top of snow.. added a ribbon to the top  and look how cute :)

 

 I hung this book page wreath in the window..the room has a lot of book pages going on ! I just noticed the blue in the photo..I got the blue hour look by accident !

 On the buffet , there is more Fitz and Floyd , Dept. 56 Santas , and a cross stitch project I just finished. It is a Plum Street Sampler design , Mary's Sampler.. I framed it with a burlap background in a thrift store frame.

 

This tree with the book page ornaments sits in the corner. Its got burlap for garland , burlap flowers , book page ornaments , and all glittery silvery platinum ornaments ..It sits in an old galvanized bucket. This is one of 13 trees in our house this year !

Part of the Christmas  village extends into the dining room ..It is wrapped around this tree in the living room.. you can see our Christmas kitchen here..

 

Thanks so much for your visits and nice comments ! I truly appreciate each and every one of you !

Book Page Ornaments and The Dining Room Tree

 

Book page ornaments are popping up all over blogland , so I had to make some ! I tried last night to make some I saw on Pinterest that looked like snowflakes, but it took me an hour and it was only half finished..With one !! This morning I made these and they are very easy !

 I also had to add that chalkboard look  element to them as well .. I am using these on my dining room tree.

 To make these I cut strips of book pages .. 3 pages per loop.. each strip  1/2 inch wide and I used 9 loops to make each one. Cut about 1/2 inch off all the way around the pages to get rid of the white margins..

 I started out trying to hot glue each loop but then a lightbulb went off and I got out the stapler ! Staple each of your loops together..

 Then hot glue them all together..Hold them until they stick...It doesn't really matter what your center looks like because you will be adding something to the top.

 I added Dollar Tree snowflake ornaments and also cut black paper with a paper punch and wrote on it with a white sharpie paint pen.

 

I decorated this tree in our dining room with platinum colored ornaments, burlap woven through the tree, pinecones, burlap flowers, these book page ornaments, Dollar Tree snowflakes and ornaments, some white flower picks from an estate sale and glittery branches from Michaels that I cut apart..there's also some beaded garlands..

 It is sitting in a bucket that we got at a church rummage sale..and oh boy did I fight with this tree to get it to stand in the bucket .. I have a piece of burlap over the top of the bucket so you can't see the big cans of crushed tomatoes , cans of enchilada sauce and a weight from the boys weight set ! :) But it is standing up straight and tall !!!

 

Thanks for visiting ..I love this tree and I hope you do too !

Thinking about all those affected by the tornadoes yesterday !I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest ..all the links are in the sidebar !
