WITH CHRISTMAS JUST A FEW DAYS AWAY ...
I felt led to host a tour thru this old farmhouse.
I've made some changes
and unearthed some fabulous thrift shop finds
in the past year ...
... it all adds up to making Christmas design so much fun ...
so
settle in with your favorite cupp'a ...
since MOST everything in this old farmhouse was gathered
by thrift'n
I'll add explanations and captions as we go ...
black and white photo tree ...
gathered glass cloche housing small vignettes
... ages old ... garage sale white urn totes a faux tree
mule deer rack rests in a basket of pine cones ...
a staple here, white ironstone fits right into the Christmas decor
a favorite ... galvanized silo pipe, doubles as a column

plaid wool scarf
used as a garland
cardboard farm animals from a board game (nine in the set) share a square in my pine cubbie ... they are also featured in my etsy store.
this farmgirl can never have too many FRESH greens
thrift shop find!
child's skates
I distressed them with an electric sander and added stain
I will be adding these to my etsy shop!
they fullfill farmhouse flavor year round!
good old fashioned spray snow!!
(didn't realize until later that I had framed the porch lantern perfectly)
... FRESH FRESH FRESH ...
it's a must for that farmhouse flavor
... mr savvy attached a live tree topper
to each of our seven porch posts ... as per my instruction ... heehee
... add as much SPARKLE as you can
the gleam in a silver meat dome cannot be out done!
vintage Rothschild champagne magnum completes the gleam ...
antique glass bead garland adorns my dining room chandelier
every year ...
loving cup boasts fresh greens and red hypericum
concrete bird bath center piece ...
just power wash and move that baby inside!
you know me, besides adding thrift shop finds ... I love using what I have!
gray wool thrift shop blankie serves as a slip cover
french postal bag gets stuffed with a pillow form
and adorned with burlap twine ...
I'm sure you've had just about enough of this
nickel tour ...
thanks for tagging along
and adding a link
of your favorite Christmas vignette

I love the paid scarf as garland Joy. Love all you creative touches.
All so gorgeous, Joy. Your images are just beautiful. Merry Christmas!
I'm blown away by so many of these ideas...the black and white photo tree, plaid garland and especially the grain sack chair back covers! I can't wait to try the chair covers. Your home is beautiful.
The farmhouse looks so gorgeous Joy!!
The little bundle of birch twigs is such a cute idea and taking the sander to those skates! I was trying to figure out how to age mine a bit!

I get so much inspiration from you Joy! Now I want to run around the house and fix some things. I saw your little white tree with old pictures clipped on, I love that!

You always have the best ideas, lots of vintage and natural elements to make a lovely, warm and comfortable setting. I love all of it.
It looks absolutely amazing at your place. You have such a good sense of style...a combination of several different styles that work beautifully together. It all looks wonderful and I LOVE that last photo of the fireplace and lantern. xo Diana
Hi Joy, just tried to link up, trying a couple of different posts. the linky wouldn't let me. Sorry, I'll check back later, hope you're having a great week!! xo
