Christmas Decor Part 2

This year I chose to do something more whimsy with the hutch. I found some red and white damask wrapping paper that I had leftover from last year and taped it to the back. I like it. I think it is fun and even have my eye on some velvet damask wrappin paper at Target and will wait for an after Christmas sale to snatch it up.

Christmas Decor (part 1)

I love how my starbursts turned out. I found out how to make them Here. My Grandma Mary gave me this Santa just after I was married. I didn't like him. His gold on his hat was all scratched up and he just wasn't my style. But now he is. I am not sure why I kept him and didn't toss him out long ago- but I am glad I didn't. Every year, I like him more and more. This year he plays center stage in my new cloche on the piano.

Other items are from Goodwill, Michael's, dollar tree (and the wooden green glitter 'hope' sign is from Walgreens for $1.99)
