The Tiger Tree

I am only putting up one small Christmas tree this year, but it's a very special tree...

The Tiger Tree!

I have been looking for ornaments for this tree for a year.  It's in honor of my sweet Grandson, Tiger!

I had the Tiger's First Christmas ornament made at Zazzle and then I found this adorable stuffed Tiger wearing a hat and scarf!  Voila, a Tiger Tree!

Photo ornaments of course!

The Letter 'T' 

Kid friendly ornaments

Airplane

Tiger loves his duckies in the bath so one must be on his tree!

Vintage wood ornaments and a Tiger in the tree!

I love this face!

A Tiger ornament found at Hobby Lobby this year

The tree topper this year....it might change!

Toys and Photos under the tree!

I had so much fun decorating this tree!

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Trees & Wreaths

The closing on their house is scheduled for Thur at 4pm and then a crazy time of moving before Christmas.  I will once again have limited internet. 

I'll take lots of pictures!

Wishing you a lovely 12-12-12!!!

Hugs,

Linda

Christmas Cubbies!

It's time to share how the cubbies look for Christmas 2012

Lots of the same items as years before but some new one's also!

The top is pretty much the same three vintage items that don't fit into the cubbies but I love them! 

The chippy elf, blow mold Santa and the very 70's choir boy and girl with plastic poinsettias!

The little Santa mouse is a new Homeco piece I found in Texas for 25 cents

A elf knee huger and a very old doll found at my Mom's house

 are also new this year

This Christmas record is new, found at a thrift store, I love the graphics on it!

I love this deer, new from Target this year

This book is so much fun and goes with 

the doggie ornament I had since I was young!

I love these elves with books and of course Santa giving the Mrs a kiss!  

The little train is for Tiger!

I do enjoy decorating my cubbies and I'm sharing them with you at these parties

I Get Inspired By Carlene!

Isn't it fun when you find a blogger that just decorates the way you wish you could!  Carlene at Organized Clutter is one of those bloggers! 

 She inspires me! 

Take this vignette for example...

When I saw this I knew I could create my version of this for

 Debbiedoo's Holiday Knock Off (copy cat) Party

This is my version of Carlene's vignette

My vintage suitcase is green but I think that works also. 

 I had everything I needed to make this vignette.  Most of it was thrifted.

I didn't have an Angel the right size, but I used this Santa and 

I like how it works in the vignette. 

 I also have the same bag hanging behind the angel as Carlene. 

I used a bottle with the word JOY on it

and added a cardinal for my bird on the tree

I am really happy with how my 

copy cat vignette turned out!

Thanks Debbie for hosting this fun party!

Now head on over and see all the other great Knock Off's!  

Happy Holidays,

Linda

Some Favorite Things

I love Christmas and all the fun and bling that goes along with it.  I have long been a lover of Christmas socks!  Yes you heard that right.  I love my Christmas socks!  I wear them almost daily from Thanksgiving until New Years!  Over the years I have collected quite a few, some I buy and some are gifts.  They last a long time when you only wear them a couple of times a year!  Ho Ho Ho!!

 Here are the Santa socks

 With this pair being my favorite!

You lift the cuff to see Santa's undies...

A gift from a friend who understands my wacky sense of humor

 This pair is fairly new with Santa and Reindeer!

 Of course I have Cat Christmas socks!

 I wear these all the time!

Here are the snowmen, snowy socks

I really like this pair in purple and pink and only $1

So not only do I love Christmas socks...I love Christmas jewelry! Yes I do!

I have a couple of  bracelets

I love this silver snowman one 

I have Christmas pins!

This cute cat one was a gift and one of my favorites!

These two are from Hallmark and pretty darn old!

And my favorite jewelry of all

EARRINGS!

 Cat earrings, also a gift and I truly love these

 I bought these dangle snowman earrings on a whim but I wear them often and get lots of comments...they really are cute!  

You can't go wrong with lightbulb earrings and of course my dressy snowflakes!  

So there you have some of my Christmas Bling!

I am joining in these really fun parties!

A Favorite Thing

Sunny Simple Sunday

Joy to all,

Some Thrifty Things!

I'm back home for a few days!

The repairs on the house took a little longer then expected so the closing has been pushed to next week.  Thursday we hope!  I'll be going back on Wed and staying a few days then! 

I enjoyed my Tiger time, but the poor baby had a little stomach virus and so didn't feel all that great.

When I left to return home yesterday I stopped at a few of my favorite thrift stores in Athens

Aren't these the cutest napkins!!

I fell in love with them and had to have them...

oh and they were only .39 cents for the pair!

Since getting Mr Toes I've had my eyes open for more black cat items.

I can't wait to do a tablescape with these!

I also found some cute ornaments for the 

Tiger Tree!

I've been looking for these older wooden ornaments for Tiger's Christmas tree and these were perfect at .25 each!  I'll be showing you his tree soon!

Glad to be home for a few days and get some more Christmas decorations up and photographed! 

I'm joining Diann for 

Thrifty Things Friday

I'll be doing another post later so come back soon!

Hugs,

Linda
