Random Holiday Cheer

Hi there!  I've pretty much shown you all of my decorated rooms.  There's just a few vignettes/areas here and there that you haven't seen so I thought I'd piece them together and show you.  Enjoy!

My friend Carol made this stocking...isn't it amazing?

I bought this gate from the flea market many years ago, and it hasn't lost its charm!

I just found this picture at TJ Maxx and fell in love with it!

This is a Christmas card sent to me years ago...I loved it (it's hard to tell but it's very glittery) so I framed it.

This 'JOY' garland was adorning the Christmas package that my sweet friend Kris (Junk Chic Cottage) sent me!  Isn't this beautifully wrapped?

 I love it!  I strung it across an old sifter.

Kris knows that I love the number 3 so she sent me a fun tote with no 3 on it, and she also knows that I adore cats, so she sent me this gorgeous book.  She gives the best, most thoughtful gifts!
Someone else appreciated it, too!  (While I was unwrapping this, Bob crawled into the box and promptly went to sleep right beside the book! I didn't even stage this :)

I shamelessly copied this idea of baskets with numbers from Patina White!  LOVE that girl's style!
(My mom surprised us with this fantastic, huge coat rack a couple of years ago.  She was told it's from an old library.)

Here is a view from the office looking out into our front hall, sans Christmas decorations.

I recently purchased this pillow at a friend's shop.  It's so unusual, and Santa's sweet face just begged to come home with me!

Well, there you have it...some random bits of holiday cheer!  Christmas is right around the corner!  Are you ready?

Have a wonderful day :)
