'Twas The Night"

Dear Friends

Shabby Snow Globe

Dear Friends

Merry Christmas, dear friends! I am honored to be included in my first Christmas Blog Party! Creating Christmas link party hosted by Jann at Have A Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson and fellow beautiful blogger's.  This year my Christmas is about fun and color with the inspiration of a wonder horse.  I used a lot of my same decorations but I love changing them and making Christmas decorating fun. My other inspiration was the bubble gum machine, red, turned shabby pink to make a snow globe to match my "Shabby Snow Globe" tree.

Friday Goodwill Finds:Twas The Night Before Christmas!

Dear Friends

I could not let December get away without sharing a Friday Goodwill Find and I said this before, I love finding things that go with the theme.  The Cinderella room has a little Christmas, how about a couple of Napco mice to add to the theme "Not a creature was steering, not even a mouse.", and a  sweet Christmas lace pillow.  I did my first video on Instagram, nervous!  I have so much more to share, stay tune for more shabby beautiful.

Shabby Queen Christmas II

Dear Friends

There is nothing more magical than a child and their anticipation of Christmas.   I certainly remember seeing this thru my children's eyes.  My children are adults now but we still anticipate Christmas and create wonderful memories.  My son was born a week before Christmas and I remember sitting on Santas knee when I was pregnant and wishing for a little boy and the anticipation of a Chrstmas baby, we named him Christopher?  We will be celebrating his 31st bithday, where did the time go?

This is my rose gold inspiration Christmas tree with a crown and star adorning the top.  The armoire is finished and is decorated with puff hearts on the the oval mirrors.  My heart certainly belongs to Christmas.  The top of the armoire is decorated with Goodwill lamp shades and my Mommie Dearest wings.  The tree is finished and most of the presents are wrapped and I am  enjoying lots of Christmas reflections.

Stay tune for more shabby beautiful!

Shabby Queen Christmas I

Dear Friends

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!  My father and my oldest brother came to see me and we had a great visit.  No Friday Goodwill Find but instead I have been decorating for Christmas!  Shabbyqueen is my Instagram name and if you want to see a sneak peek of things to come, I would welcome you following me on Instagram, you will not be disappointed!  This year I'm going with some rose gold and a crown for my tree.  My mantel has a vintage frame with angels who are saying "Be your own single beauty!"  I have several vignettes, a silver bowl with angel wings and bells, a little pink and aqua.  My living room has new paint, a bigger TV and armoire we had to redo to hold the TV, and new curtains to show case my "Shabby Queen" Christmas tree.  These are just a few pics and my mantel is done.  Stay tune, the tree is yet to come.

Christmas In July

Dear Blogging Friends

Did you have a good week?  Have you been naughty or nice?  Only 162 days until Christmas so get your nice on and start your Christmas list early!  I took feather trees, shells and sand and placed in my vintage train case.  I love train cases and this one is linen blue.  Sand, shells and pretty paper, Christmas in July.  Stay tune for more shabby beautiful to come...

Thankful, grateful, blessed!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I started early this year with my Christmas decorating.  The mantel was first with the angel wings displayed under the cloche and several small trees.

I made the sweater pumpkins and with the left over sweater created this Christmas pillow.

The candle sticks were a good will find and covered with glitter.

Thank you for visiting, keep warm everyone!
Until next time,
Debby
