Winter Hallway Decor + TS Finds

12 years ago

Winter is certainly here now! So I've still left up some Winter decor & this vignette is on the hallway end wall. A winter pic of a couple Chickadees (such pretty birds) & an oak shelf that DH made me yrs ago:

Since joining this Holiday Forum, I've added to my collections & tried new things...so this is about as 'sparkly' as I get w/these ornaments & bling that I've collected the past 3 yrs or so ...for this area:

Love the bronze/coppery colors ...as I've fallen for the mercury glass (seeing the silver & gold at so many places...but bronze/coppery fit me better). Here's a deer & ornament close-up:

I always shop for a bargain...so never pay full price ...except I did for this tapered faux candle while Christmas shopping...it's on a timer, too...I've shared it before (I love it!):

And yesterday DH & I were visiting kids so we stopped at a fav TS...I got this 'Carolers' Musical Ceramic pc for $5 ... & it plays "Silver Bells" perfectly! I think someone made it in a ceramics class or something! Here's a close-up (my pic shows it a bit more gold-ie than it really is)...it's a shiny cream color in RL:

& for $1 I got this lovely heart box ...made in the USA ...kind of a rock type material...don't know what it is...for Val decor!

& one of the best finds I got yesterday there was a one place setting...dinner plate, salad plate & cup for a total of $2.50 ...it's the pink striped/dotted "Churchhill England." I think either Kathleen (or maybe Punk) has done a t'scape with these dishes! They are so darn cute! I'll save that for a Val pic to share! So for a total of $9 I did pretty darn good...I'll have to pack away the 'carolers' for awhile! ;-(

Thanking all you 'Enablers' R' Us' for great ideas! TFlookin'! Jeanne S.

You hit a jackpot shopping! Those Carolers especially!
I really like the deer ornament, and also the bronze colors.

The chickadee painting is delightful. I love those birds tho haven't even seen a REAL one. Next to Cardinals,
they really say Winter to me. (probably why the real ones don't like Phoenix, LOL).

That heart box looks like it would be made of marble? I know that was popular as a stone type thing for decorative boxes of all kinds. And so many colors with it too. Yours is sure pretty!

Oh, meant to tell you, I saw some little Kissing Angels on Etsy that I think are like yours. Actually I just looked for link to show you, and when I searched kissing angels there are a LOT on there. Wow. So here's the link to that page just for fun to see the different variations of them.
They must have been real popular during that period!

hugs, Karen

Thanks for that link to Etsy, PM! Yes, there are lots of kissing angels on there...so darn cute! Must have been very popular! I only saw one that was 'musical' tho...so they made smaller versions of just the angels, it looks like! Thank you!

I do just absolutely ADORE this pair! LOL!

Baker's Rack finally decorated w/GJ for Fall!
Q
Comments (10)
This is what I had in mind for use on my patio/breezeway area for the Spring/Summer months. I found an old Baker's rack at Habitat resale store for only $25, which was a steal but we didn't have the truck with us, nor do we have storage for it until we can use it, so I didn't buy it. I know I'm probably going to kick myself over and over for not buying it. Come Summertime, I'm hiring a handyman to make me some more storage cabinets for my seed sowing supplies, my husband's power tools, and some other things. Hopefully I will have more room to store stuff then. I also wanted to use it like you did but also be able to add some small potted plants in the Spring/Summer months.

Winter Buffet with Pottery & Bird Arbor Cardinals(pic heavy)
Q
Comments (16)
Thanks, holiday-ers! Yes, cardinals are just so beautiful & esp when they are combined with new white fluffy snow...can't beat that combo! tugs, I have been making photo cards for lots of yrs. Thanks, everyone, for your gracious comments. The "Rowe Pottery" (pine pc & vase behind it) are made here in the midwest in Cambridge, WI...Google it sometime...they do beautiful work! I just LOVE the feel of pottery...looking at it & handling it...it's a comfort. I have a 3rd fuzzy sheep buried in my Holiday tubs int he garage so will have to wait til next yr to add him to the empty space on shelf where I took down the ceramic "chubby" guy. That reminds me: chubby sheep, chubby sheep, chubby sheep! Ok, OA? You are TOO FUNNY, woman! LOL! Thanks, everyone! Jeanne S.

Rest of my Winter Decor

Jeanne, glad you made it through all this!. I wish I could remember to use my submersible led lights in water. Maybe I'll try that in my next ts. They can be set for green, red, blue or flashing all the colors. TJ's head band is one of DGD's and a little big but she's happy in her sweet winter outfit! You liked the tinsel.yeah I bought it and never used it so decided to try it for something different and also more bling! I think the cp has done some shifting since I put it together.lol So hope I can find some of my blue insulators. Not sure why this one is the only one that I've seen lately. I'm sure the others are out in that big shed and so sad they've been so neglected. DH is making me some plate holders so I didn't ask for fancy little blocks like you have.teehee Thanks for this one DGF. That's DGD when she was younger hanging on the lamp. Also another picture of her behind the candles. When the snowies aren't on the stand, I have 3 balls that sit on the plate on top of the books and two frames that sit beside them. The 3 Christmas snowmen are ceramic ones I painted. Changed their scarves to turquoise a few years ago. I use to sit them in front of the TV but DH doesn't like them there since we got our new tv. They don't always get to come out and play every year.sigh Will be sad when it's time to take down all the snowies this year. I haven't done any thinking for Valentines day. Seems like I did buy a few more things after last year. Will have to go through my totes and get some ideas. I always try to add candle light for YOU! I know you love it and so do I. Thanks so much for all your sweet comments. Have a good night. Punk

raehelen, Congratulations with starting you project! Starting the project means 50% of work is done, just don't forget to multiply estimated time by three! Thank you for the link. Believe me or not, but I prefer old fashion toggle switches, they are more convenient and are easier to handle in the dark. I will replace bathroom switches with the fancy ones anyway but for another reason, I have a z-wave network at my home that allows to control lights, locks and other stuff but old fashion z-wave toggle switches discontinued and only rocker z-wave switches are now available. When you turn lights and fan in the bathroom on, Z-wave controller will automatically turn them off after 20-30 minutes. Very convenient feature. Good luck with your project, have fun!

Jeanne...so many great finds!
I always love how you set up that shelf for winter. The chickadee print above is so complimenting and the candle gives everything such a nice glow.
That reindeer is especially pretty with all the other coppery/bronze pieces.
I agree with Karen, that the 'Carolers'
are really special and what a great price!...
Your stone heart box I'm familiar with - great price for it. I have a few of those pieces in different shapes...DH picked them out when we went out West many yrs ago.
Some are made of quartz - some marble and some oynx.
I love the rust color of yours with the pretty inlay pattern. Enjoy your 'Winter Treasures'...they're all so nice.

Wow Jeanne....LOVE your carolers! They have such great faces...many times they look so strange to me, but I like the all white figures. The heart box is beautiful and I really like your ornies! My favorite is the round one with the spiral circle design! And your chickadee print is just lovely...they are the cutest little birds. I love to watch them drink from my rain chain cups. TFS!

Oh Jeanne, such beautiful decor. Love the Chickadees picture above your beautifully decorated shelf. All the little hanging ornies are sweet.

The carolers are neat and so is your new heart box. After seeing your carolers, this reminds me I have a platter w/carolers still out in the shed I didn't bring in.Sigh I had thought I would use them on my 3 Kings ts that didn't happen.

Must be Kathleen that has the "Churchhill England" dinnerware. However, I probably own 40+ sets of dishes now so who knows.LOL I will be looking forward to seeing yours. Love your kissing angels and seeing all that's available thanks to Karen! I will use my little kissing Eskimos on one of my winter ts again. They are so fun.

Oh forgot to mention your new faux Candle on a timer. Love IT! Best get to bed and will try to read and post more tomorrow evening.

I love your winter decor, Jeanne. You always put just the right things together. The chickadee picture is perfect there.
The carolers are sweet. I'm looking forward to seeing the little heart box again at Valentine's Day.

Thank you, Holiday-ers...since the Winter has literally hit IA now...I am leaving out my snowmen/ladies decor on the porch but been putting away more from inside house...I just love these 'Caroler's' too...and the music box plays so clearly the tune, 'Silver Bells.' I hate to pack it away...I haven't yet. ;-)

Lookin' forward to Val Day month in a few weeks! Appreciate all your comments. Jeanne S.
