Merry Christmas From My Home to Yours

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Check out my website  Hannah Banana Baby !

Holiday decor pictures of my home-

Vintage ornaments in a glass compote-
Bottle brush trees under glass and also on a wreath-
Strawberry sachets on a silver tree-
Sometimes the simplest touch can look grand. Beads and a baubble hung from a light fixture.
A mosaic table made by Nan at Manic for Mosaics. She does beautiful work.
crystal.... 

One of my new favorites- mercury glass candleholders!
A Christmas book filled with altered art pages from various bloggers. I will show you more of this creation in another post.
Faux treats from Jennifer's Petal Palace are perfect for my candy themed kitchen.


Peace and Blessings,
Ele

    All of your decorations are so lovely, but I especially like the upside down tree hanging from the chandelier. It's fabulous.

    Happy Holidays!

    Ele, to me that looks like what heaven will look like, my sweet friend, all glitzy, sparkly and bright. I always am in "awe" of what you make and feature on your site, honey. Just gorgeous. I wish my talent extended to heights such as yours.
    Smooches and Merry Christmas.

    Oh Ele
    Your decorations are all so beautiful. I can't wait for you to open your shop.
    It's truly something that I imagine my home to get to eventually.
    Your soft colors are very soothing to the soul.
