Cottage Style Linky Party #23

Sparkle season decorating is done!

I put the finishing touches on my holiday decorating this morning.

I hung icicle lights from my mantle garland.

I can't wait to kick back and enjoy this cheery scene!

I tucked a few more decorations into my tree....

...like candy canes and dollar store sparkle!

As a child with bad vision, this is how I saw the tree every year.

I always wished everyone could see the tree like this...extra sparkly!

I added this sparkly ball of, er, twiggy stuff to a vase...it was sparkly so I bought it...cheap!

And I tucked a few more thrifted ornaments into my berry basket and added a sparkly tree.

Now I just need to wrap presents!

Is your sparkle season decorating done?

Welcome to this weeks 

Cottage Style Linky Party #23!

I just love all the holiday decorating 

everyone is doing!

So much fun!

How cute is this little tree decorated with a vintage Christmas banner?

Stop by Deb's blog Vintage on a Dime to see more of her lovely holiday decor!

This ice skate reminds me of the skates I owned as a child...but much prettier!

Stop by Donna's blog Donna's Designs to see the wonderful detail of her vintage skate.

Here's a hint...the skate is sparkly!

I love the theme of this post titled "Quiet Moments". 

Some times it nice to reel it in and have a quiet moment like in this photo.

Stop by Butterfly and Bungalow for more sweet and quiet moments like this one!

Cottage Style Linky Party #22

I'm still celebrating the sparkle season!

This past weekend I went to a Christmas tree farm to cut down my tree.

You can read about my (mis)adventures here.

I ended up with the decorated tree below.

Can you tell I live in a house with cats?

The tree has been up about a day and already the tree skirt is mussed, 

there's a cat bed next to the tree and

there's a cat in the photo.

(Don't let that lazy cat fool you, she's a photo ham!)

I'm sure that if I look around behind the tree I will

find an ornament or two on the floor.

What would my cottage be without a cat or two?

I can't wait till they climb the tree....

Welcome to this weeks 

Cottage Style Linky Party #22!

It's the sparkle season and everyone is sharing the excitement!

Looks like I am not the only one who put up a tree with cat helpers!

Stop by Our Neck of the Woods to see her lovely 

"backyard tree" with its pretty and frugal(!) decorations!

I just adore this vintage cookie cutter garland made with Carol's mothers cookie cutters!

Stop by her blog A Happy Gram to see more of her charming home made garland!

Who can resist a tree so pretty and pink?

The glitz, the glam, the bows, the ornaments...so over the top and I love it!

Stop by Darlene's blog Marias Antoinette to get all the details for this lush pink creation!

Welcome to the party that celebrates cottage charm!
