Hi Chrissy...

Just read your sweet note, Darlin'! I was so happy to hear from you...have you been as busy as I have been? It's a busy season, that's for sure! I do hope that my little note finds you well!

Girl, again...my hat is off to you! What a fabulous Christmas vignette! I just love the look of old silver and creamy white ironstone together! To me...the look and feel just takes me back in time! I absolutely adore all that pretty ironstone you have out but I must tell you that my favorite piece is that little narrow tray shaped dish...it's soooo pretty and I love the look of the two beautiful glass candleholders sitting on it!

Well, I just spent the last few minutes going through some of your last few posts...I'm so sorry that I missed them! Love, love, LOVE your pretty vignette with those sweet little birds under glass! It's all so very beautiful, Darlin'! Ohhh...and love what you did to that old black hat rack!!! That's just a great way to display some of your beautiful old pitchers...and pictures! Hehe! That's a great idea!!! Ohhh yes...and one last thing...love, love, LOVE that old metal grate that your honey brought to you...it makes a fabulous tray to display your pretties on!!! Girl, your home is gorgeous...so warm and serene!!! And...Darlin', you have a definite talent for putting together the most beautiful vignettes!!! Thank you for sharing them with us!

Sending you my very best wishes for a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season!!!

Love ya,
Chari @Happy To Design

Chrissy~~~

Your decorations are simply beautiful!! I love all the silver and that crown is fabulous. As long as you feel everything is complete, that is all that matters!

I am still decorating and baking and wrapping. But I am trying to enjoy the moment. Good enough, right??

Happy holidays, Chrissy!!

Every precious thing in your home is highlighted and so beautifully displayed. The holiday decor added to all the silver and cremes is so romantic and soft.
I love it all.

Hi Chrissy,

I've been a fan of your decorating style ever since I found your blog last Christmas and I'm not disappointed this year! I love what you do! We have such similar tastes! I was especially drawn to the platter with the cross - very simple, but very powerful!

Merry Christmas!

I think it is beautiful. My decorations would probably drive you crazy...a bit too much "bling" I'm sure.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. I really enjoy seeing what you will show me next and always your kind words. We are down south with my daughter and my parents...very non-traditional, but fun!

I can not wait to see how you will so artistically decorate your tree! I planted some more rosemary in my garden today and could not help think of your lovely vignettes!

This year - the simple decorations, and the over the top decorations are getting my attention -

Your home looks comforting, inviting, and meaningful - I really like it that way.

Happy Holidays

Chrissy I love that your vignettes speak softly of Christmas- it is so soothing and calming to the franticness of this season-

I love your little birds under the cloche and the candles with the lovely pictures of the season wrapped around them. You have such a way with your decorating that I love!

I am in the midst of baking 60 + breads for ministry and friends....28 done - how many to go???
