A Finished Peppermint Wreath

 

Hello!

I wanted to share a few images of Nicole's peppermint wreath she finished.

The above image is a picture of the wreath from yesterday.

Nicole just glued another layer of peppermint candies to cover the styrofoam wreath form.

Nicole chose to use a grain sack tie for the ribbon.

Nicole decided she didn't want to use an actual ribbon.

I posted how to make these wreaths here....

 Enjoy the rest of your week.

I will be back tomorrow.

Take Care,

Maria

An Unfinished Peppermint Candy Wreath and the Felted Mistletoe Wreath

Hello!

I just wanted to post a quick one today....

I wanted to share a picture of our unfinished peppermint candy wreath my daughter, Nicole 

made over the weekend.

It has been about ten years since I have made one of these.

I love these wreaths because they will add a touch of whimsy to your home.

They are super easy to make and are a fun project to do with the kids.....

All you need is....

a styrafoam wreath form

two large bags of peppermint candies

a glue gun

a bag of glue sticks

My daughter started glueing the candies from the inside of the wreath out.  It works best if 

you glue the candies on in rows.  

This one isn't finished because you can still see the styrafoam peaking through the candies.

My daughter added another row of candies to cover those areas....

I will show you an image of the finished product in another post....

I also wanted to let you know where this sweet felted mistletoe wreath came from.

I showed a picture of it in my post on Saturday,

I received a lot of inquiries about it, so I thought I better let you know where they came from....

They came from Maison Reve....

Yasmine has the sweetest Christmas ornaments this year....

I will be photographing a few of the ornaments I got from their shop later this week.

They do not have the ornaments or wreath on their website, I bought them while shopping in their shop in Mill Valley with my mom.

I hope you get a chance to stop by Yasmine's shop.

MAISON REVE

I will be back hopefully this evening.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Take Care,

p.s. I was able to take a bunch of product pictures yesterday, I will finally have new products in my shop tomorrow.

A Work Studio and Last Year's Christmas Tree

Hello!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

I first need to warn you this is a very random post today....

I wanted to share a few sneak pictures of my cabinet I currently use for storing shop items.

Last year I had planned to turn my guest room into a work studio.....

Well that never ended up happening....

This summer I ended up turning one of our living rooms into a work studio.

We live in a manufactured home made by The Karstan Co, it has a

 very open floor plan, and has two large living rooms.

This room used to be the t.v. room, until I decided to use it as a work studio...

The guest room is now the t.v. room and the living room is now a work studio.

This large cabinet works great for housing a lot of my ironstone, transferware, and other items I sell in my shop.

I am hoping to get this room photographed next week after I finish decorating for Christmas.....

On another note....

I had to share a recent picture of our Rambo, he is a dantiff puppy we got from our parents.

My parents recently had a new litter of dantiff puppies....

He is well loved by the kids....

We are hoping to make another road trip to Montana to see both of our families after Christmas...

The kids can hardly wait to make another trip home to see their grandparents and cousins.

My sister, who has nine kids and lives in Louisiana, will be there.

On a final note....

I wanted to share a few pictures of my Christmas tree from last year...

This was about all I got done last year for decorating.

I am still trying to decide what I am going to use as a container for my tree this year.

Last year I put my tree in this antique wine jug basket and lined it with a linen sheet so you can't see the bucket the tree is sitting in....

I used vintage french canning jars for a pop of color....

I also have a number of these vintage french canning jars in a green color as well.

I will be sure and share some pictures of this year's tree as soon as we get one.....

We are headed to the Sacramento airport today.

My mom flies back home today : (

The kids and I are planning to make a trip to Michaels on the way home so we

can get some materials to make some crafts for Christmas....

Do you have a favorite craft you like to do with your kids during the holidays?

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Before I go, I want to introduce you to two bloggers....

Cheryl of Fresh Vanilla for C

Maria of Rusty Hinge

I hope you get a chance to stop by both of of their blogs and say hello.

Take Care,

Maria

Paperwhites and a Winner

Hello!

I thought I would share a few pictures of my paperwhites since they are starting to bloom.

Bethany tied ribbons around all of them to prevent the blooms from falling over.

The kids have enjoyed watching them grow....

You can read more about my post I did on paperwhites here....

I really haven't been able to do much decorating for Christmas yet....
I am hoping I can get some holiday decorating done this weekend.
I talked my mom into staying until Saturday so she could help me with the sewing.

On another note, I wanted to announce the giveaway winner....
