I love this tea set...
It's stays out all the time so that I can revel in its cuteness...
So, instead of hiding it away at Christmastime...I fluffed...
threw in a few mini vintage ornaments...poured glitter into
some aperitif glasses...what? You don't pour glitter? ;}
I LOVE the particular GGG...it looks like crushed pearls...
uh, I mean snow...so very snowy, don't you think?
I am wondering though...
is my "making do" theme this year a new leaf I have turned over?
A moral awakening?
A new path I have begun?
Naaaaaaaaah...
I have a feeling "someone" is just really lazy...with a capital L.
But, geezaloo! All that stuff sure sounded good for a minute there!
{One day I will finish my first book, The Lazy Girl's Guide To Crafting
From Your Couch...I'm just pacing myself!;}
A few more VOs in the cups I have been meaning to put away...but if Ilike looking at them, I have a hard time convincing myself that I need to
put them away just because I'm not using them...like normal people do...
I think I have just hit on something there...note to self: you're not normal!
And...you're lazy!
{Who knew that one could take such a journey of self-discovery while
sort of decorating?}
I love the shape of this old platter...but it's a bit mangy...I do love vintage things...but this has some discolorations that
kinda have an X Files look about them...
Solution?
Cover them with a mound of VOs!
If only my morning make-up routine was so simple!
Up on the roof top...Ok, I don't really have a white feather tree on my roof top!
Even in Cali...people would talk...but it's not like I haven't
heard "la guera loca" bandied about before! ;}
Flocked{reindeers}, Feathers, Fun!You'll note my minimalist restraint with the tree decoration...
Uncluttered?
Lazy?
You decide.
I'd love to stay and chat...but I have a lot of things to partially decorate with a restrained flair...
or I might just take a nap...I'll work on my book tomorrow! ;}

My, what carefully thought out, colour co-ordinated, elegantly restrained decor..... Seriously - wonderful! Keep doing what you're doing, whatever the reason!
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh....lazy or not you have the touch to make anything look great. Love the way you arrange your stuff by adding the VOs and the glitter!
ReplyDeleteDo put me on the waiting list for the book........
ReplyDeleteSo darling...lazy or not...it looks great. I LOVE those little reindeer-they are just sweet looking~ Very festive...love the poured glitter...make sure you aren't sipping it by mistake!>) Hugs- Diana
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty vignette! I love the VO's and have a hundred on our tree. I even use the broken ones in bowls etc. I enjoy your blog and your humour in your writing. Thanks for the lift :-)

Doesn't look like laziness to me-it looks like pure creativity! and not to mention it is all beautiful. I love the cups...don't put them away!

Oh, you make me laugh. I'm knee deep in boxes. And some years it just doesn't always get out. I keep telling myself that it just turned December - so there's time!

Whatever you call it, I call it lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful and I love reading your blog. Everything you do is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYour blog always lifts my spirits. Just wondering how you keep the kitties away from the feather tree? And what is your source for the GGG?
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone! Your Xmas decor is the most lovely and charming I've seen! I particularly love the vintage ornaments....they so remind me of my childhood!...ahh
ReplyDeleteNothing lazy looking about your display. Very pretty and restrained looking. Either I'm lazy or cheap but I have very few ornaments. I like to call it frugal but I gave almost all our ornaments to my sons. They made most of them anyway...lol... when we moved to full timing in the RV. Now we have a Park Model and not much stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think it's all very pretty. I love how you incorporated the tea set.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing lazy about this at all...it is creative and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, it is Gorgeous!! I love it! And the feather tree....soooo pretty!!
ReplyDeleteAnd am a glitter FREAK and I pour mine too!

Very pretty vignette! I love the pink and white.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pink ornaments.
ReplyDeleteEven in a slothful mode you outshine most of us, girlfriend! Love your pretty vignette!! If I ever came to visit, I might just have to pocket one of those sweet flocked reindeer. I've got such a thing for reindeer lately......decorated the entire kitchen ledge with them this year. My collection is multiplying!!

Lazy is good....at least in your case it is, cause everything looks awesome (like everything you do).
ReplyDeleteNot Normal and Lazy sounds like a great title for a book. Actually it sounds like something I would spend money on.
hugs
Oh, it's all beautiful, that flying reindeer is just magical. Gorgeous, thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI have been doing that a lot lately, is it lazy, or just a uncluttered clean fresh style. I could also just frame the Image of your flying reindeer and say this is the magic of Christmas~Enjoy it!!

Hey, no fair blurring out the ornament reflection of you! Ha-ha! Those type of "shots" are always so flattering -are they not? :)
ReplyDeleteI just used MS glitter for the first time yesterday! I didn't pour it but I'm still finding it everywhere! Is there a secret to not making a mess with it? I'll have to try GG someday! ♥
Ok I'm waayyyy late on seeing this and I'm having a love for the white/silver combination which I just did my entire room in. But I've looked through some of your posts and lol see you 'love' silver german glass glitter and I tried to see if you mentioned where you get yours but alas I cannot find that, so can you please tell me your source? beauty everyone on this blog! I'm following. blessings, lady
