Still making trees here :)

I started with this "slanted" funnel.
(Have you seen all of Carlene's funnel trees over at ORGANIZED CLUTTER?  She is the "Queen" of the funnel tree!)

The next "layer" is a metal rake top.  That inspiration came from Beth at PATINA WHITE.  I fell "in love" with the rake head Christmas tree she posted on Facebook.  Did you see it?  If not, you can see it HERE.

The top is a vintage green dust pan flipped upside down...wire handle removed.

The star used to be on a shower curtain hook. 
So glad I kept them :)

Winter Wonderland...little "forests" popping up at my house...




Well, the Christmas decor is pretty much packed away for another year...I really have a hard time "letting it go".  My 5 year old felt the same way...


...so I decided to leave a few "trees" out for her.


Why not?  After all, we live in Minnesota...there's a lot more winter to "enjoy"!!


Complete with snow.


Do you love my little aqua box?  I got it at Marshall's.


I got these white trees there too.  They were supposed to be for jewelry...but as you know, I rarely use things "as intended".  What fun would that be??


Here's another little "forest" on the buffet...next to my birthday gift from my husband and kiddos...Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound.  It's from DaySpring.com...OK, so now you know, not everything I own is DIY, thrifted and repurposed "junk".  Gasp!!!  But mostly ;)


And here's my version of the "Funnel Tree"...on candle sticks :)

And now that my house it pretty much back in "order"...I can get busy messing it up again getting ready for this show coming soon...
 

We did it last year and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!  
If you'd like to see pictures from that event, you can see them HERE :)
Hope you can make plans to attend...I can't wait!!
 
Have a great weekend,

Tree Stand for a Wine Chiller...why not?



So what do you think?  Would it work?  I figure it's supposed to hold water for the tree so why not ice right?  I'd fill it with ice for the the photo shoot...but since we have a "vintage"...aka "really old" fridge...I only have ice from a tray and I didn't think that would look right...hahaha!!


I set up this little wine bar mostly for "looks" while I was decorating.  We don't have any big holiday parties planned.  But now I'll be ready...just in case!!


This little planter with greens was put "to work" too.


I've really scaled back on my "strictly" seasonal decor...but this "cutie" made the cut.  Don't you love his hat?


These blue insulators stacked on light fixtures look like trees to me :)


And OF COURSE I needed a few "rusty goodies" here and there.


Hope you have an "XL" Christmas...FULL of everything and everyone you LOVE!!
