A (mini) Christmas Home Tour 🎄

Greetings lovely friends & readers

As promised, I have put together a little Christmas Home Tour of my rather small & humble Home.  I have decorated my dining room & lounge, & just tucked a couple of bits into my kitchen. 

Come along with me - grab yourselves a cuppa or a tipple. Hang on a minute & I'll pass you one through the screen 😉😊🍷

I have a Galley style kitchen that you walk into directly off the deck & then into my dining room.  A couple of shelves in my kitchen above - just small festive bits tucked into them.

The bench to the right of my stove area.

Beside my dining table I have a vintage Singer Sewing Table which I change the displays on throughout the year. This is my Christmas display (which I think I showed last post)

Our dining room is L-shaped & has the fireplace in, as it was originally the lounge.  This small round table above holds my knitted ornaments tree & some other bits. I purchased the Poinsettia yesterday for $5.

The table in the corner (above) holds some handmade items & then below is the fireplace hearth & mantle. 

(If you click on the pics you can enlarge them & see clearer)

The mantle is not especially wide so I am limited to what I can display on it.

A small display of bottlebrush trees on my china dresser.  (I am totally in love with bottlebrush trees lately!!)

Now we walk through into my Lounge room ......

A display on my vintage typewriter & then the Tilda Reindeer I made last year hanging above this.

My American Oak Spindle Leg table with some handmade Santa's on - & the antique wooden trolley cart filled with teddies beside this.

The old fireplace mantle which I installed * here * - both in the day & at night.

Vintage Metal highchair & handmade Mohair Bear

I like to create little vignettes, which I say are for the grandchildren but truthfully I think are for the 

grown-up-child that lives here (Yours truly !!) 😉

I had planned to pack away the Tilda Princess-&-the-Pea cot which I made in * this post *.  However I decided to leave her out & give her some Christmas embellishing.

I wrapped some empty boxes with pink paper & sewed her a simple Santa hat (pink of course) from a scrap of pink felt. 💗

I hung my gorgeous pink stockings from my Gothic Mirror 💕

This Tilda Father Christmas was made earlier this year & was my first attempt Ever at Needleturn applique.  I have hung him on my quilt ladder.

Another little pink vignette using up bits I already had .....

          The tree stands just behind my couch rather than in a corner so it is decorated all the way around.

Under the tree is my vintage metal trolley filled with (empty) wrapped boxes & (some of) my vintage teddy collection.

Beside the tree I have a squishy armchair & a round oak table - both Christmas decorated 🎄

Beside my TV is another small table - this time a primitive vignette.  I will write about Mousie Brown in my next post - he is a new pattern.  The music bunting was made just yesterday from some scraps of vintage sheet music I found.

The top of our vintage radiogram - I like to put little Santa hats on my teddies at Christmas.     I haven't included my coffee table display (similar to last years) & a couple of other tables because I think you might all have a crink in your necks by now.

Thank You So Very Much for staying with me through this long drawn out post.    This will be my last post before Christmas - we are having our family Christmas this Sunday & then I am heading down to Mum's mid week to spend Christmas with her.    I would like to take this opportunity to Wish You All a peaceful & blessed Festive Season - may you all enjoy the spirit of Christmas.  I appreciate each & every single one of you that takes the time to visit me here & read my ramblings. The Mr assures me I am only talking to myself so I thank you for the chance to tell him he's mistaken 😉

                                   With much love & friendship To You All,

Julie & the furry ones x0x0x 💗🎄🎁😻
