Ornament #3 – 
Vintage Snowflakes
With this ornament, I was able to re-purpose a couple of vintage rose boughs as well as some tiny pearl Christmas decorations and tinsel. I also raided my stash of dried roses. I spotted the snowflakes at my local Dollar store and loved them just the way they were, but knew I wanted to jazz them up for this project.
I gathered my materials and began pulling the rose boughs apart with wire cutters. I separated the leaves from the roses and the vines, cut the tinsel and removed the hardware from the pearl Christmas decorations. In the end, I didn’t use as much tinsel as I thought I would because it overwhelmed the ornaments.
Using my trusty glue gun, I just arranged my materials over 5 snowflakes and here’s the result. They make me think of a vintage English Christmas. Not sure why ;-).
Item #25 – Start a Fairy Garden
I first discovered Fairy Gardens on Pinterest. (In fact, I have a board dedicated to Fairy Gardens) I love how tiny everything is and the whimsy associated with creating a make believe 
nook in the corner of the garden. I love doll houses and all things miniature, so it’s no surprise that I’m really taken with these gardens. Eek! It’s a yarn basket made from a walnut shell. —->

When you finish this Fairy Garden thing, can I sit next to the door and wait for the fairies to come out? I won’t bother anything, I’ll just sit and wait. I’ve never seen a fairy before. Is it kind of like a butterfly? Or a hummingbird? I’m so excited, I can’t wait.
While Walking My Dogs 
Ed’s sugar free cranberry sauce with turkey
Sweet potatoes – yum!
Candied yams always! And FAIRY GARDEN that is so cute. I want to do all these crafts I swear I want to drop out of school and spend my life making a fairy garden now.
You’re so funny. I don’t think I would drop out of school but I’m sure you can find a few hours a week to work on the stuff.
That WOULD be a less extreme solution.
Very nice.
Thank you.
Yorkshire puddings and roasted potatoes
Oh those are the best. Wonder if I can figure out how to do Yorkshire Puddings gluten free?
Left over turkey panini sandwiches with cranberry relish
That sounds so good.
Roast turkey and Yorkshire Puddings.
Yummmmmmm!
It used to be peppermint ice cream because the holidays was they only time it was available until I learned Leatherbee’s has it year round… Next best thing is probably my party mix,
because I only make it at the holidays.
I think because we only eat certain dishes at special occasions or holidays, it adds to their appeal.
PS… I like the vintage snowflake ornaments a lot! Probably show my friend who does a Shriner’s Christmas tree each year – I think she would have a winner with a bunch of these.
Definitely. I found the Snowflakes at the Dollar Tree – 2 for $1.
Roast Potatoes – crispier the better!
My favorite food to eat during the holidays would be mash potatoes with homemade gravy. Yum!!!!
That sounds soooooo good. Love that comfort food!
chestnut dressing. lots of work but so worth it!
Wow that sounds really good. Many years ago, my family and I were in London at Christmas time and bought chestnuts from a street vendor who was cooking them in foil in a metal bin. They were really good!
