A BLOG BREAK ANNOUNCEMENT
We will be in Europe cruising down the Rhine River enjoying the Christmas Markets along the way. I will post again after we return.
The Christmas Markets on the Rhine. I am imagining us there right now but we won't be there until Friday Dec. 14th.

DECKING THE HALLS
CHRISTMAS IN MY GUEST BEDROOM
'Last year' I decorated a big tree in my guest bedroom. It all happened by accident and I'm glad it did. I asked my hubs to bring in our tree and he brought the one we haven't used for a couple of years. Sometimes we get our wires crossed and I didn't want to seem unappreciative when he struggled in with the tree from the garage and since he was standing in the hall right next to the guest bedroom, that is where I told him to put the tree. I used all the old ornaments that we had packed away for many years. I would call this a traditional tree. Lots of memories of Christmas past came to me as I hung the ornaments of old. My sister came over and helped me decorate. She had given me many of these ornaments over the years and most of them were handmade. We had the best time reliving those memories and this ended up being my favorite tree of the three trees I decorated.
I made the Santa
My mom made this ornament
The bell was my mom's. Very old and I treasure the memory.
Several vintage ornaments that I love.
I made the tree skirt from a quilt pattern.
I love this old chifferobe. The quilt was made by me.
This vintage wash stand was my mother's.
The bed gets dressed for Christmas too. It is not a great photo. Sigh!
The JOY of decorating this room was in my heart that day.
Blessings and love this Christmas and always,
JEANNE
What a happy and sentimental post! I love happy accidents like that. I also love that bell ornament! THanks for sharing...
