There was no plan to have a pink Christmas tree this year
but somehow it happened anyway.

It all started with this little fellow and Georges love of Penguins.
Hes silver and white and when we found him late this fall it was
decided we would do a silver and white tree.
Quickly one fat squat penguin bird lead me to this chickadee sized bird
dressed all in white.
Then to this delicate silver glass bird adorned with
long white tail feathers mounted on a spring and clip.
I did decorate the whole tree in white and silver
but it seemed to be missing something.
To keep things natural I used wooden salad bowls and my bread boards as well as the little rosewood dipping bowls. I love the small pop of color the pumpkin colored napkins provide. 
To add a metal element to the table, I used vintage silver flatware, candle holders and salt and pepper shakers.
To continue with a farmhouse feel, I picked up some faux wheat at the craft store and placed it in one of my ironstone white pitchers. Then I simply wrapped a piece of scrap burlap around it.
For the hutch, I added more faux wheat in a smaller milk pitcher and picked up some apples in the grocery store to put in my vintage dough trencher. And of course, a couple of extra bread boards. :)
My absolute favorite thing is the new rug my hubby bought for us for under the dining table. Ive had my eye on this rug at West Elm now forever and they finally went on sale for only $129.99. That is our kind of bargain. :)
The vintage industrial table under the subway art is the table I put together yesterday. I was thrilled when my hubby told me he found a couple more scrap pieces of bowling alley floor remnants in our storage building so I went to Lowes and bought a bunch of iron piping and got to work.
I wanted to create something to give away during a drawing that we are having during the grand opening of our shop so this is what I came up with. I happen to love it and Im really looking forward to giving it away.
I cant wait to sit around that table at Thanksgiving with my family. I love the holidays! What are you thinking of serving this year? Any traditions?
Ive picked up some fun things on Etsy and have had so much fun putting everything together. I cant wait to share it all. I love this time of year. Spending time with family and friends, baking goodies and, of course, watching Christmas Vacation.....puts a big smile on my face.
This year for the living room I seemed to be drawn to a campy, rustic cabin decor. Mostly because of that wonderful buffalo check throw I came across. It was my inspiration for the entire room. And of course, I had to throw some industrial vintage decor in there too.
And funny little elves that are so old they are falling apart, that always make my kids laugh....
This year I also wanted to add vintage Bingo cards because they remind me of one of the first dates that hubby I went on 23 years ago. We went to a local summer festival and played Bingo under a row of twinkly lights and stars until late into the evening and by the time the evening was over, I was head over heels. :) 
I fell in love with these aqua colored cards.
As well as these....
Just looking at the tree makes me smile because it is filled with so many wonderful memories.
This year I was drawn to red and white stripes so I continued that theme into the dining room.
I found these adorable little red stripe bowls at Crate and Barrel and fell in love. 
And the linen napkins came from this sweet little Etsy shop. I loved the design and I love handmade even more. 
And thats it! Dont you love decorating for the Holidays? Are you like me and ready to take it all down the day after Christmas? ;-)
