CONE trees from the Dollar Tree...I turned mine upside down and used it as a tussy mussy. It is now home to a little white bird...she nests in some old sheet music. The stars I bought last year after Christmas. I turned them into a banner. I just dressed them up a bit with more sheet music folded accordian style. Added the letters to spell I thought I would share my foyer tonight. It is now complete! I got my wonderful swap from Lynn over at http://lifeatcedarhill.blogspot.com/ . She and I were in the Very Vintage Christmas Swap at http://foxglovesfabricandfolly.blogspot.com/. I was having problems with this area because I wanted something to balance out my lamp on one side. Well when I opened my package from Lynn I screamed with delight. She had gotten me the perfect vintage looking Santa...EVER. I love him...sniff, sniff. Here he is proudly displayed along with the little acorn ornament she sent...(with a wondeful history of the acorn). He balances out this area perfectly. It is like she KNEW. Rofl. I snapped pics of the other beautiful things she sent. An adorable cherry apron (she did not know that I collect them...she is psychic people) , a little cupcake votive holder with my favorite Yankee scent Creme brulee. an adorable Santa magnet, a vintage Santa card and postcard, and that adorable bird trim (can't wait to use it on a project), a romance book, some candy that is GONE..rofl, and the sweetest journal...so shabby! I loved everything! Thank-you soooo very much Lynn! I was spoiled. I hope she loves her things!
Also today was the start of Tracy's Holiday Tour http://acottageindustry.typepad.com/a_cottage_industry/ which I joined! If you don't know about it....you better run right over.....sooo many beautiful homes decorated to the hilt for Christmas. I wanted to mention ....did you notice those sweet vintagey necklaces hanging from my forks? Those were done by http://glitterandbliss.blogspot.com/ they are so precious that I had to display them! Well I will leave you all for now....Cherry

All of your things are soooo cute! How do you cover your stars with paper? I have some tin stars that I would like to put some decorative paper on but when I tried it it looked terrible. Do you put on one whole piece of paper or do you cut it and piece it together? I would love a tutorial! :) Thanks!
all of your decoration are just wonderful.

I LOVE all your decorations! You are a wonder woman! You have time to decorate and make all that cute stuff. Are you getting any sleep?!?!
The tussie mussie idea is so cute! I may have to buy some red trees to use this idea for Valentine's.
And just to let you know, you are giving me a serious case of scale envy! I really NEEEEEEEED an old kitchen scale! Maybe I could ask Santa.
Cherry, if you ever had the chance to do a home tour in your town - you should do it. I bet you would have so many ooh's and aww's over your decor and designs. Everything is post is so incredibly wonderful and there is just so much to look at. Sometimes I just come back to your blog to relook at the photos. So so wonderful.
Cherry, I love all your glitter and sparkly things. The cones and the Joy stars are really pretty. You do good work. Have a great weekend.
Jean in Virginia
Oh, you always get me in the holiday mood. I can't wait to see what you are going to do for Valentine's Day. Again,and as always, loooove it!

Cherries and cupcakes are my two "theme" addictions :) I got the table cloth and napkins at Retro-Redheads , they have the best cherry stuff with a Vintage feel! here's the website address, just so you know, its the kind of site where you have to check in often as they add so much and then sell out etc, but Im sure they have more of that set!
