Mosaic Monday – CHRISTMAS HOUSE TOUR

2010-11-06

 I am once again joining in with Mary’s little Red House for her weekly look at lovely mosaics.

Yesterday we attended the annual Pineridge Hollow Christmas Home Tour. Besides seeing lots of beautifully decorated homes, the five of had a really fun time. One of us is a professional decorator, but that didn’t stop the rest of us from chiming in with our ideas and comments! The youngest among us was my 12 year old granddaughter who especially enjoyed carrying around the pet cat at one of the homes.

Burlap, lanterns, and mercury glass votives:

A tablescape using fresh pink flowers, and burlap again…

Pineridge hollow Xmas 3

Notice the two trees flanking the fireplace… the candles in the fireplace were placed on slices of birch wood (very pretty!)

Pineridge hollow Xmas 2

I loved this bed…a birch bower was built around the four poster, and hung with evergreen and crystal…we all chuckled at the mental image of our husbands crawling into this bed!

Outside a home which featured retro furnishings and accessories, this yellow Volkswagen was decorated with skis, a plaid blanket, snowshoes, and a Christmas tree, all dusted with our new fallen snow…so cute!

Most photos were taken by my daughter LaVerne

Now , let’s all go over and see the other mosaics at Mary’s….

What wonderful ideas in your tour...burlap and birch sure looked like the popular choices...you sure can't beat the Volkswagon though!!!

Beautiful! How nice that you got to visit those homes, I'm glad you took some photos. I'm also glad to see that burlap has made it to Winnipeg.
I love that yellow Volkswagon~
Hugs, Cindy

How fun the photos are. I'm like you, I can just see my husband aka 'bull in a china shop' trying to get in that fancy bed! Thanks to you and your daughter for sharing.

So, so pretty. Love them all. My fave is the fireplace with the Christmas trees on each side and I love the tree on top of the car :)
