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.

Apple Pie Recipe

This was my first ever attempt at making apple pie from scratch, and it came out great! We have planted three apple trees in our backyard this past year, so hopefully we're going to have many apples for many years to come. I was happy to find a good apple pie recipe! I baked the Apple pie in this ceramic pie Pan and it came out great, as well. My table cloth is handmade with fabric that I bought from a fabric store when we were still living in California. The little peach tea pot is something that was a gift with flowers many years ago. The little coffee sign was a Dollar Tree purchase, and the grape vase was a thrift store item.

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

Dessert Bar

I decided to create the dessert bar that I've been wanting to do for several years. It may not be as pink and on the scale that I wanted it, but I am very happy with it and I think it turned out very pretty. A few months ago I had seen an advertisement about the Unicorn cake being sold at Walmart, so I decide to get that from a birthday and it tasted great and looked great and I am very happy with that as well. I totally recommend the unicorn cake for kids and adults alike.
