Holiday Home Tour....





...the first ornament on the tree is always the little teacup my Aunt/Godmother gave me many years ago...


...the tree is decorated with years of special ornaments...


...santa is "watching" over us...


...the wise men are on top of the china cabinet...


...with a vintage lantern....


...the mantle is donned in silver and sparkles...


...the Swarovski tree is always difficult to photograph...


...but on a sunny day the glisten is beautiful...


...and the night lights sparkle...


...it's even pretty from outdoors...


...the stockings I made are hung...


...the candles are lit...


...the coffee table is festive...


...the dining table has a woodsy theme...


...with greens and "bark" candles...


...the buffet is simply decorated with santa...


...the kitchen tree is decorated in my favorite hand painted ball ornaments...


...and a few special ones tucked in...


...at night it brightens up the kitchen...


...the sports tree dons my husband's favorite teams:


Now to start baking and planning the holiday meals!!

  3. Patti, I love your Christmas home! Your stockings are beautiful...and that mantel! Hard to choose, but that may be my favorite vignette. However, that MC tree would be a close second. ;)
    I started baking last night, have been grocery shopping at least 3 times for the meal, but seem to keep adding things to the list that I forget or they are out of.
    Wishing you a joyful week, and rest after it all.

  5. Your home is beautifully decorated! I just finished a blanket for Xavier, and all I have left to do is make perogies to bring to my sister's house on Christmas Day. Time for some reindeer games! Merry Christmas to your and your family Patti!

  6. Patti, your home sparkles with the season! I love the trees, the wise men and the Swarovski tree and ornaments. Of course the hand painted black and white I adore. I'm finished and enjoying this weekend before my family arrives Thursday. Enjoy your baking, I'll be in the kitchen as well. Merry Christmas Patti.......

  7. patti, I love your tree all covered in special ornaments. And the crystal tree must be fabulous when the sun shines in! You must have seen the huge Swarovski star atop the tree in NYC. It's almost as tall as a man! Your house looks wonderful and ready for celebration time. Linda
