Keeping in the spirit of the season...
Here's a bit of my Christmas decor for this year. In the center of the brandy jar is a vintage blue glass ornament that I recently found on one of my thrifting adventures. Behind it is a favorite print of my five year old. It's simply entitled "Snow".

Very pretty and Christmasy! And adore that huge glass!
The blues really stand out in your photograph. So very pretty!
I like the print too! I also like the way you displayed the Christmas balls. I still have a lot of decorating to do. I hope you are enjoying the process :)
take care,
Dawn
That ornament is definitely a great find. My mother does a display in a giant brandy snifter with ornaments.
Don't you love to find ornaments when you're out thrifting? Some of my favorites have come in the most unexpected places. Your print is so sweet, and I bet that becomes a cherished keepsake of that five-year old. I still have a Santa who used to always sit in a sleigh on my parents' mantle. He's an old guy now! ;-)
Happy Blue Monday!

Great blue post...

I really like the picture. It's nice enough to use all year round. Happy Blue Monday.

It's clever to pull the blue from the picture to the ornament. Happy Blue Day!
Very pretty! I love the "Snow" print too! So cute!
Morning, Rechelle! Love your blueness today!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
That is a pretty way to display the pretty ornaments. So lovely. Hope you have a Happy Blue Monday!
I love your ornaments. They look lovely. What a find....
Easy to see you're all set for the big holiday. I bought my tree, a Norfolk Pine growing in a pot. It also came with nice decorations.
Hi Rechelle,
I'm glad the turkey soup was a big hit. Tim just about cries at the thought of having to eat turkey or chicken. I think soup would throw him over the edge!
I hope your friend would like to do the ball ornament. I like it on blue the best myself. I just bought 25 blue balls this weekend to do the project in my class.
take care,
Dawn
I'm not big on decorating but I like the ball.
Wow - it's so great that you're already decorating for Christmas! It always takes me a week or so to get organized after all the Thanksgiving chaos. Loved your Christmas blues!
Very pretty! I especially like your print. Happy Blue Monday.
Hello There, I just wanted to thank you for coming to visit me this morning. I love meeting new people and I 've met so many today, just because I did a Blue Monday Post. I'm going to do that again, if I get to mee this many new faces. Come by anytime, I'd like to get to know you better. And if you have time, please sign my guestbook too. See ya soon.
Hugs,
Chris
I love the vintage ornaments. I can never get enough of those. I might have to display mine like that this year instead of on the tree- the kitties get a bit too interested :)
Don't you just love the vintage ornies, they are really being sought after these days.
2 years ago we did not even put up a tree. It was our first Christmas with out any kids at home. I just couldn't get motivated to decorate at all. Last year we bought a small fake tree with the light already on it. This year we will use that one and maybe get another fake one that is a little bigger. I am more motivated to decorate this year. Time to get used to not having the kids around anymore. Maybe some year we can manage to get them together with us to celebrate together. But this is not the year. All the year we have been married the tree usually goes up around the middle of the month. After my birthday which is on the 10th. Actually our second year together it never got put up because I went into labor and gave birth to my son on the day we were going to get it. We decided he was our tree instead.
Hope you had a happy Blue Monday. I love your header picture.

Hi! I came over by way of Nikki's blog. I have that exact ornament on my tree. Our mother let us all pick one to be our favorite and since I was all about flower power, I chose that one. Thanks for showing yours! xxoo

Great minds think alike...I have some ornaments in a brandy glass also:) I had to take them out and wash the glass as the coloring has come off the balls...looking forward to seeing more of your Christmas decorating.
Christmas JOY to You.

Hi Rechelle
I came over, via Jeanne's blog.
I love ornaments and love vintage ones best. They bring back happy memories.
Rechelle, this is the first chance I have had today to congratulate you on winning the drawing last night for yesterdays give-a-way. I was gone before seven this am and just arrived back home at around two pm. sigh. My sister and I drove a seven hour round trip to get some venison. We love to eat it. LOL I am tired. Pick your favorite pair of ornaments and tell me what it is. Send me your address so I can send you your ornaments. My mail...jeav@earthlink.net
Hugs...Jeanne
Rechelle,
Your blog made the front cover of Harbor Hon Magazine Volume VI. It's all in fun. Come take a look when you get a chance. :) xxoo
No, I wish it was. It's just pictures I find to use for the mag covers. Glad you liked it. I actually live in a tiny apartment big enough for one. :) xxoo
