      I’m so glad my trees I decorated with this year were all small and won’t have to be taken down bit by bit. I’m lazy this year!

    The red Christmas tree, with the backdrop of the quilt, is lovely. ♥

    Hi Brenda, I knew even if you didn’t put up a tree this year that you would still turn the house into a magical place and you did! Oh how I wish I could come have coffee w/you and soak in all of your wonderful things!

      I see so many pretty homes in blog land and think the same thing. If only I could be there in person and just stare at it all.

    The small house in the cloche takes me right back to my childhood my mom had little houses that looked like it which you put Christmas lights in it to light it up. I’ve been looking for some this year with no luck.

    For not having put up a Christmas tree, you’ve created a truly lovely environment that you don’t even realize there is no tree. Your use of quilts and the little bottle brush trees is right on the mark. I adore the little glitter houses. You are a “daily visit must do.”

      Hi Brenda,
      Might your sound machines be what is troubling your sweet babies?
      I had a small dog that lived 18 years and my sound machines,, usually set to “rain forest” drove her crazy!
      Their hearing is sooo very sensitive.
      Just a thought? Have you always used them or just since your new house?

    Brenda, I love it all! Those beautiful quilts, the house under the glass cloche ( I have a similar one), vintage Santa….I could go on, like I said I love it all! You have such an eye for putting together lovely vignettes.

    Beautiful photos as always. The second time I looked at your post, I noticed in your second pic, the way the starfish behind your cloche is captured in the glass handle of the cloche – a tiny image of the starfish!

    It all looks so pretty, Brenda, and of course as you already have so much red your Christmas decor just enhances it.

    Hugs,

    I love all of the bits and pieces that make fun discoveries, like the eggs, the spool of red and white thread, and the clothespins. I like that Santa, too. I have never wanted to collect Santas, preferring snowmen. But, a Santa like that one could change my mind! Thanks for sharing with us.

    Brenda,
    Everything looks so nice and cheery…although so different from last years setup it looks BEAUTIFUL!

    I just wanted to send you a quick thanks…through your blog I have learned (and am still learning) to think outside of the box when it comes to decorating ! I’m using so many more colors and my eye has changed when I look at things….Thanks!

    Et belle Brenda. Festive and inviting at the same time.

    Love the little bisquit (cookie) jar. I love the red/pink transfer ware. It carries me back in my life to the fifties when I went to my first Silent (Catholic) retreat at a marvelous mansion that the Sisters of the Cenacle ran. Our meals were served on red/pink transfer ware and the beginning of my love of these dishes.

    Beautifully decorated. A true Brenda room.
