Christmas Living Room Decor

I have a few new additions to my Christmas décor in my living Room this year. I found this mantel decoration at Goodwill for $6.99, and I found the candles to put in it the same day so they match perfectly. The Santa has to be where the most amazing finds my mother pointed I while we were shopping in Bliss Thrift store. We could not believe when it had a $20 tag attached to it.
I had been thinking last year that I would like a Santa that was more life sized but I knew it wasn't practical. I did not really have any real plans on buying one until I saw this and that it was such a great deal . The Santa does not move or anything like that, and he is lightweight and easy to carry myself, now I just need to figure out where to store him until next year.

The beautiful red and gold tablecloth is another item I picked up for less than one dollar at Bliss Thrift Store. I think it is perfect for Christmas!

The Santa is another Bliss find from earlier this year. He was only $2.99!

The sleigh and the globe are new thrift finds.

For my tree this year I just changed up the ornaments a little and use mostly gold and rose gold. One new addition is the train I read the tree that was only $3 I thought the train had beautiful colors for Christmas this was another thing my mother helped me find when we were shopping together.

The doll is from Goodwill. I thought she was just too pretty to leave behind when I saw her!

This white and gold Santa is also new for this year. He was only one or two dollars from Goodwill this past summer.

Park Lane Glassware by Colony

This glassware was made by "Colony." "Colony" was one of a series of companies that produced glassware in the early 19th Century until the mid-20th Century. Those interested in the history of these companies can find it on various other websites, including Ohio Glass . NOTE: This vintage glassware is not to be confused with Park Lane "full lead crystal" ware by Mikasa . Libertad and I discovered Park Lane glassware at secondhand stores early in our relationship. I believe that some blue glass pieces of it were among my earliest purchases of glassware in San Antonio, Texas, where Libertad and I were married in 2009. For our first Valentine's Day together, in 2008, she took me to a store in Shockoe Bottom, in Richmond, Virginia; I think it was La Diff . I decided to buy a set of four, handblown glass tumblers, allegedly made in Mexico. They have what appear to be drops of blood all over them, blown into the glass. I thought they looked appropriate for V...

It's been forever since I last posted, so I decided to start again in what is my favorite season for decorating. Fall! In this tablescape, I have a plaid tablecloth I recently purchased from Dollar General. I love the addition of the blue in the fall colors of the plaid. It is somewhat unexpected. ' The bright orange, glass pumpkin was a HomeGoods find last month. The wooden board it is on is from Ross. All of these items were around only $10 each! The stack of plates were thrifted. I loved the neutral look of them, and I think they worked well for these setting, even though they have snow flakes on them. And I almost forgot to mention! The cookie is from Walmart bakery!

Pioneer Woman Tablecloth

I recently purchased this beautiful blue floral table lcloth by Pioneer Woman from walmart.com for under $20. I went with the largest one available to make sure that I had enough for my dining room table. I thought id it was too large, I could use the excess fabric to make matching napkins. I'm very happy with the print of this tablecloth, I particularly wanted the beautiful blue and white to showcase my yellow and green lemon plates that I purchased from the Dollar Tree last year. I think the colors and patterns are going to work very well to showcase lots of other dishes and tableware as well. The blue and yellow toile napkins that are on the table are ones that I made from extra scraps of fabric that I had lying around the house. They are not a standard shape and size of napkins but for just me and my family, I don't really care and they worked out just fine.
