Picket Fence and A Christmas Centerpiece
Picket Fence and A Christmas Centerpiece
As I was thinking of what to use for my dining room Christmas centerpiece, I wondered around the house. I bought this picket fence in PA a few months ago. I wondered how could I use it. I should have taken a picture of just the picket fence, but didn't.
It was so sunny today as I tried to get pictures. (I am not complaining about the sun - love it)
It's not everyday you attempt to put a picket fence on your dining room table. I have been known to use some strange pieces for trays. Last year I made a sled (You can see that here) For my autumn tray I used a pelt stretcher, so a picket fence should not be a surprise.
There are three pieces to the fence, each one is about 16 inches wide and each picket is 20 inches long. So I laid one section down and the others became the back. I folded the other two pieces to make an upside down "v" so it would stand up.
Here is the back panel. I love all of the colors and the "chippiness" (is that a word) of the pickets.
I placed a tree on the front panel and then found a large piece of white felt to use as the shirt around it.
On the one side, I added a rustic bell, a snowman and some trees.
On the other side, I added two glass tree ornaments. I didn't want to use them as ornaments, but they look cute as trees here.
I added fairy lights to the tree. Although with the sun shining in that window, it makes them blurry.
I love how it turned out, however, there is not much room on my table when we have Christmas dinner. I will have to move it to the kitchen table and put one of my other pieces on that table so we can place the food on it.
I hope you enjoyed my picket fence centerpiece.

Christmas Wooden Tree
Christmas Wooden Tree
When I was in Pittsburgh in November, my friend that has a store gave me a wooden tree. I didn't do anything with it until last week. I went to my stash of rusty metal things and pulled my bag of Scrabble letters out and the wooden tree became this.
I started off with the scrabble letters. I didn't want to glue them on so I used glue dots. They will keep them on but I can take them off if I want to. The blue chips are from bingo numbers, they are for the free spots.
I added an old rusty hinge and a door knob plate.
For the star, I had a 4th of July one and just sprayed painted it. I used a hammered brown paint.
It is a great addition on my lanai.

Fabric Decorated Candy Canes
Fabric Decorated Candy Canes
Do you ever find yourself wanting to make a simple but lovely Christmas decor but don't have much time? Who has time this time of year, right?Well, that was me yesterday. I wanted something, but had no time. I was cleaning my pantry (hoping to find room for baking supplies) when I found some candy canes. They might have been from last year. Yikes! They were still wrapped.
What could I do with them to make them better and a pretty display as well.

Bringing the Outdoors In
When we were in Vermont this summer, I found an old door screen that I bought. I also brought home some birch logs from my son's farm.
I hung the old screen in my lanai and cut the log into thin slices for making a Christmas sign.

Antique Fireplace Grate Decorated for Christmas
I purchased this Antique Cast Iron Fireplace Grate Log Holder Coal Box Mantle Insert with Fleur-De-Lis Pattern a number of years ago. My sister and I went to a barn sale and in the corner was this grate. Needless to say, I fell in love with it. When I asked the price, I almost fell over - $5.

Vintage Doilies Make JOY Banner
Usually, we just put up outside lights. Now I have to do the inside. I went through some of my decorations to see what I could use up there, since I had already decorated the house here, not much. I decided to make as many decorations as I could. I did not want to buy enough stuff for two homes.
So this JOY banner was my first creation.

Chinese Light Bulbs?

| "Chinese" Light Bulb |
'Found these "Chinese" light bulbs many, many years ago. I thought they were really cool although I never tried to plug them in to see if they worked.
I love to bring them out at Christmas in different arrangements. The paint is beginning to wear on them, some more than others.
