I have had a large (and heavy) vintage chalkware goose that I bought about seven years ago. It was "faux bois", so it had a brownish wood grain finish. It was a cool piece, but I painted it white so I could use it upstairs this year. Here she is with a little book page wreath ornament I bought from my sweet friend, Kenda, at Leola's Open House. It has our initial in it, so it's even more adorable.
A pair of bottle brush trees, a little greenery,
and my oatmeal tree in the urn.
Then just a few little details
I've been surprised where I've gone this year in the Dining Room and Living Room. I wanted to simplify. I'm not sure I did that, but one thing for sure, it's different.
Be sure and stop by The Marketplace this week
for some Etsy Shopping fun!

ReplyDeleteLove that goose, had one in my shop and was always sorry tht it sold. You have such a great blog here and the things you do to promote small online shops is admirable. Thank you for the Marketplace. Today is the first day I have linked up but I will be back.

I love this whole area, Debra! That is a great swag! I wish I had kept a small goose I had; I would have painted him/her white. Oh well. I went simple this year and have already got plans to go through everything in January and donate quite a bit. I think my decorating tastes changing has affected my Christmas decorations, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful! Love what you've done.
ReplyDeleteWow! So Pretty!
ReplyDeleteDebra, this is just beautiful! The white is so wintry, serene and pretty! I love it all!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I especially like the book page wreath. Cool!
ReplyDeleteJust so very pretty, Debra. I love the shutters for the backdrop. The goose is a great piece. Love the wintry look and Christmas feel too.
ReplyDeleteLove all the white just beautiful

It is lovely. The goose is there looking after you.
ReplyDeleteThe goose with the wreath necklace is just too cute, Debra. I'm seeing the word "Simplify" all over blogland. I know that's the way I'm going.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it. I have been pulling things out of hiding this year and re-vamping them also. It kind of re-kindles a fire from the past. LOL Looks great!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, as always!
