My friend Heather is hosting a blog party called "A Pretty Little Christmas", and I thought it would be fun to join in! Participants are supposed to blog about how they are having a pretty little Christmas, by showing photos of whatever they wish to show: their homes, wrapped gifts, Christmas trees, etc. These are just some random snapshots of my holiday decorations.
I don't have space for an entire Christmas village, but I do have a couple of pieces, this wintry church being my very favorite.
A customer and friend, Gabrielle, made this pretty sequin-adorned tree for me! I just got it in the mail over the weekend. {love getting good mail!} It looks perfect with the rest of the forest on the buffet.
My feather tree is full of feathered friends. I used all birdies, pine cones and acorn ornaments on this one.
You can see them a little better here:
A simple little wreath on a mirror. Sometimes a small touch is all you need.
I got this wonderful ruffled stocking at Garnet Hill. I'm still working on making stockings for the 4 of us, but it doesn't look like they're going to be finished this year. So, this will be my stocking, and my 3 boys will get our old classic cream plush stand-bys. {I'm sure they won't mind as long as they're full!}
I have lots more pictures {of the tree, other decorations, and some wrapped gifts} and will post them later this week. Now, I'm going to hop around the Internet and visit some festive, inspiring blogs. Heather has posted a list of all of the participating bloggers, so we can easily see who else joined the Pretty Little Christmas party!
It's all gorgeous Andrea, as I knew it would be! Merry Christmas to you and your family. xo suzanne

So glad you like your little tree Andrea! The beautiful surroundings complement it perfectly... as I knew they would. It looks like a winter wonderland...or a "Marshmallow World"for that matter.

Everything is absolutely beautiful! LOVE the glittery church and your little white tree. Can't wait to see the rest!
Have a wonderful day!

Andrea, I just love all of the candy sweet pastel colors! How different from my house but that's what makes us all unique - the way we surround ourselves in our homes.
Everything just shines in yours!
