we need a little christmas right this very moment!

Peace signs are THE symbol of this season!

We know! It's so early for Christmas decorations. But sadly in retail nowadays Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas often share floor space.

We use an antique drying rack as an ornament tree

So here a perch. we've started to deck the halls a little bit. And people are buying holiday stuff like crazy.



We combine antique and vintage and contemporary in our holiday choices.

White birch branches from Fisher and Page in New York are bundled into
an antique vineyard grape carrier, and festooned with vintage style ornaments

We feature mercury glass and German glitter ornaments with a vintage feeling.

Vintage style feather trees in pale perch. colors nestled in silver urns are favorites to display our whimsical ornaments - we love the vintage style boxes and Santas


This year owls, peace signs, and beetles are very popular ornament choices.

This beetle ornament is very popular


An oversize silver wreaths festoons an antique statue


We love using silver and pale blue, and a touches of color mixed in.

Our tree won't go up until the day after Thanksgiving but we decorate our tree bed now
with over size mercury glass balls, a zinc stag head, and Dwell Studio bed linens and pillows


We put up a real 12 foot high tree in our center hall the day after Thanksgiving.

The life size dog sculpture gets a silver wreath around his neck


And sometime next week we'll do the front windows and the outside of the store.

Even the serious cardinal (an antique Italian bust) gets the holiday wreath treatment

We try to spread out our Christmas decorating to match the season. So more holiday decorations to come later...

OH MY BUG! How can we get one of those beetles? Looked for the link but could not find. Price? Availability? Lovely post to get us into the spirit as we lisen to Delilah on the radio!
