Little White Christmas Tree

Well here we are...Christmas at Mo's Cottage !!!!!!
See...I told you a little WHITE tree......it is soooo cute...I love it....
not to much else going on in the rest of the living room...but it is sooo romantic and cozy !!!!!

I do have one Christmas stocking hung on the mantle...do you think I can find the other two...well not at the moment...I put them away and can't find them....oh well I'm sure they will turn up.....

this cute little ferry sits on top of the tree.....

I had to show you the Pretty Flowers my Hubby gave me on our anniversary...it was the day after Thanksgiving.... Thank You Dougie...I love them !!!!!

just a few more pictures.....

I love the little disco balls that I hung around the stand for the tree..... of course I had to add the cute little Pink Roses.....

I also put lots of pink netting around the tree...it just gave it the bit of Romance I love....

so pretty at night.....

just a little bit of Christmas at Mo's Cottage...
Have a wonderful day...

Just Another Tray ????

I know this is just another serving tray ...but the colors stopped me in my tracks.....I was in Clovis, CA a few weeks ago in a very cute Antique store....this tray isn't an antique but the colors were just right for my living room .....I almost didn't buy it but at the last minute it made the trip home with me.....
I added this cute little heart and a garland of tiny pearls......


the trays new home is on my fireplace......

the soft pink and blue's are just perfect......



I also love the block night light...so very romantic at night....

Have a wonderful day...

Hugs,

Mo :-)

Vintage Tin Lamp Redo

This was a VERY easy redo lamp....
I found this vintage TIN lamp...remember these...not sure of the year they were popular....
when I first saw it I thought for sure I would paint it....
but when I brought it home I love the vintage shabby pink color...
so of course I added some netting....made into a bow...
I love bows and netting....
and a crystal.....I think at one time this crystal was a Christmas ornament.....
and another net bow with (my favorite) pink satin roses....I love the color of the roses and the softness of the pink.....

THE BEFORE...
....I turned the shade around to hide the daisies...they were cute in their day but not my style at the moment.....I paid $14 for the lamp.....I love my new addition....you never know it may have a new home someday !!!!!!
Have a wonderful day...
Hugs,
Mo :-)
