My Christmas Decorations Exploded All Over The Living Room

After decorating for Christmas this year, it looked like Christmas exploded.

I have some new things this year. This antique baby strolling sleigh is so cool! I got it at an auction. I put in a lap quilt, a snowman (of course!), a sock monkey, and my antique teddy bear. I adore the scrolling of the runners.




Also new this year, are my old ice skates and snowman figurine.


Carolers.


More antique skates and a sign I made on burlap.



I added greenery to my firewood basket.


And lights to my antique popcorn popper and lantern.



 And finally, a new birch twig wreath.


I also added some burlap pieces with writing on them to my antique sleigh bells. And also to my little sleigh. I'll show you the technique for doing this in a later post.



And just some pictures of the rest of the decorations.

    1. Thank you!

      I put a string of lights and some pillow fluff inside the glass. I was able to leave the cord for the lights out so I could plug it in. I did the same thing in the popcorn popper.
