Hi friends..
I've been adding a few more Christmas touches to our home....
I'm loving my little white feather tree....

I also purchased two of the white feather wreaths..
so pretty...


My favourite vintage pastel ornaments...
and a dainty gold crown..
a thriftshop find...
love it..


A darling antique cherub vase...
another recent thriftshop find..
the perfect colour palette...


New favourite candles...
(TJ Maxx)
Smell like roses....


Vintage millinery hats...new Ebay finds...
A few of my favourites....


I made my own Christmas cards this year using my own photography...
I'm really happy with how they turned out...


I just finished making these floral veils/wreaths out of antique millinery flowers..
I've discovered a new passion for crafting lately.


That's all for now...
Have a great weekend friends!!
