Moviehole-katietreasures: White Christmas in the Dining Room

I was thrilled to find a white feather type tree at the thrift store.

It was only $8.00.

It looks perfect on my newly painted buffet.

I plopped some white trees from Walmart into a vintage sleigh in keeping with my "keep it simple" philosophy.

I actually had two of these sleighs.

I bought one a few weeks ago at the thrift store and then I found one in a bag in the Christmas closet.
(?When did I buy that?)

I gave the better looking one back to the thrift and kept the rustier of the two.

The little deer came from the thrift store for 75 cents. I created a few vignettes in jars. What a cutie!

It's just an old candle jar that I cleaned out. To clean out a candle, I will put the almost empty jar in the microwave for 10 seconds or so at a time until I can scrape out all the melted wax. I take it very slow. I think the jar could crack if you heat it too fast. Make sure that you pull the metal end of the candle out if there is one. I love old jars.

Here is the other bifold door.

I found this print in a hideous frame at the thrift store. Reframing it from one in my stash made all the difference. Bill says I really need to dial back my frame collection. :(

Rude!

But...

My favorite nativity is white. It is Sacrart from Goebel and it's just like the one I had growing up from 1960 or so.

I still have Mary from the original set but Joseph lost his head and Jesus disappeared completely. I really think Jesus got thrown away accidentally because I always wrapped him in white tissue. I spent years digging and looking for him until finally I decided to hunt e-Bay until I found a replacement.
