GeorgiaPeachez Christmas Wreaths


Last year I came across GeorgiaPeachez Wreath Blog and was wowed by how gorgeous the wreaths were.



Suzy of GeorgiaPeachez hunts for beautiful ornaments year round and uses them on her wreaths. Each wreath is one of a kind.


Suzy has been making these wreaths for years and has perfected her time tested method. The wreaths that she made for this Christmas season are sold
out. There is information on her blog about getting on an email list to receive notice when wreaths will available.

Oh Christmas Trees...

Inspiration for Home
Who says a Christmas tree has to look like an evergreen? Here are a few ideas for thinking outside the tree box. I think this tree made from scrap wood is great and would look nice hanging on the wall too.

I know time is winding down for decorating. Unless you're like me and just got your tree up. No reason we can't look though. You can always file ideas away for next year. Unless you find one you love and have to have for this year :>)

A newspaper tree is fun and recyclable. No watering necessary. You probably don't want lights either.

CustomMade

I like this hanging tree, plenty of room to get the presents under it! There could be many variations on this idea.

Inspiration for Home

This is such a charming idea - the sky's the limit. This would be a good one for getting the kids involved.

Even though the frame is vintage, this Christmas decoration looks modern because of the color palette. I like it.

I also like this idea using picture frames and letters. Your choice of pictures and letters can make it look modern, vintage, industrial, whatever you want.

If you're not going to use that decorative Christmas tree stand now, then how about this creative idea?



Last, I'll leave you with this kitschy image of a mini forest of retro Christmas
brooches. These pins are from a site called Bijoutree's Jeweled Forest. There are a couple of short videos you might like to watch, click here. I had no idea...

Paper Mache Christmas Decorations

shavingkitsupplies
When I'm out thrifting and looking for vintage Christmas decorations, I keep a lookout for paper mache decorations like the trio above. These decorations are from the 60's and/or 70's and mostly made in Japan.

Seriously, who could resist this sweet angel boy?

Or a family or carolers?

The Girl From Yesterday
I like the colors on this groovy little angel.

I'm attracted to any set with three girls as I have three daughters.

I think these Three Wise Men are regal

I like the details on these two choir boys.

I've noticed that these type of paper mache decorations are becoming more collectible. All the more reason to thrift!
