Sunday Still Lifes - Holiday Decorations

We've had an amazing time up at The Farmhouse this past week

for a legitimate vacation...Long overdue!

This was our first Christmas spent here and I enjoyed

decorating with the random items that we had around the house.

Since we bought the house in December of last year we had already brought up our vintage green sparkly tabletop tree. At the last minute I grabbed two boxes of my vintage Brite Rite ornaments which made the space very festive. 

Here are a few highlights of our holidays...Enjoy!
