The weather outside is frightening, but hopefully my little abode is much more inviting. Let me show you what I’ve been up to decorating my place for Christmas. Its been a busy year with work and life, so I didn’t go out to get anything new. Which means that this is decorating on the cheap (recession-style), using things I already had or that I could pick up close by for a couple of dollars.
Whiskey and I hung up our stockings on the fireplace/space heater, which is keeping us very toasty these days.
And of course my beloved Maltese Falcon makes a special appearance in his Santa cap. Who knew such a noble bird could look so festive.
I love the molted pattern of this vase. It adds a whole new dimension to the piece.
Thanks for stopping by. I’ll be posting more holiday ideas every day over the next two weeks leading up to Christmas, so stop by!

I just love all the little details that you have incorporated in your holiday decorating. You have got the cutest things like those Christmas towels but I just love little Whiskey’s stocking the most.
Thank you for the guided tour of your gorgeous home.
Best Christmas wishes, Natasha.

Very pretty and cozy holiday home! I love that you have a falcon, we have one on a staircase railing at our beach house and I have never seen anyone else have one! Kindred spirits! 🙂 I love that he is wearing a santa hat!
