Anne Marie's Christmas Home Tour, 2020

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!

 I am so happy you decided to stop by my Christmas Blog!!

 I want to mention that since Blogger changed to a new format for posting, if you can click on each picture if you care to enlarge it...... 
 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
 
I have a special treat for you today......

I am sharing my dear friend Anne Marie's home decorated for Christmas.....

Even though we were unable to visit each other this Holiday Season, she was gracious enough to send me pictures so I could still do my annual post of her Christmas Home Tour!!

Anne Marie went in a different direction with her decorations this year and created a truly Vintage Christmas in her home....

I will let the pictures do the talking except for Anne Marie's descriptions which I put in quotes.....



 The Front Door

 

 "Arrangement in antique trophy cup by front door on plant stand" 

 

 

 An Antique Hall Tree

   

 

 "Hard plastic angel ornaments on tree from the 40’s/Germany"

The Living Room

"The staircase with the light and post"

 

 

  "The girl moves her arms. She’s vintage"

 

     


 
  

"That vase under the dome is made by Franz. I was in Plains Antiques a while back. It was $55 with 20% off so I paid 44+ tax. And I found it on Etsy for $360.

 

 

" Sofa table"

 

"Pipe cleaner candy canes"

 

  "Antique books"

 

 

"St Nicholas Story with candy canes from my childhood"

 

 "It opens up like a pamphlet"

 

 "The chair that has the top hat the postcard and Holly cup and saucer is in a little corner at the back of the sofa"

 

 

"Side by side"

 

"On top, the deer are vintage and I used fresh greens and bird nests"

 

 

  " The only thing vintage on the inside is the shelf with snow and 2 Santa’s"
