Christmas Around the Apartment 2016

We are in the middle of a move, but I still put up all my decorations. At this point, I only have my Christmas decorations out and everything else is packed away and awaiting our move. For now I will show you some of my decorations, and will save the tree for another post.

This set up started out on our dining room table, but as things were packed I found a new space for it. I had most of the mercury glass from last year, but decided to incorporate some bottle brush trees this year, and also, that dear!

I now moved it on top of a hutch I have in the living room since I packed up all the stuff that is normally on it.

I think I stalked eBay for several months waiting for the right Fitz & Floyd Staffordshire piece to come up (actually I still look a lot!) This little guy is an ornament, but he makes a good companion to this other mini Staffordshire.

My husband is Jewish, so we celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah. I'm always on the lookout for elegant Hanukkah decorations.

Just added some bottlebrush wreath ornaments to these candlesticks. Next year I intend to incorporate even more bottlebrush in my decorations since I want to do a vintage theme.
