christmas in july...

While I was nestled away in the pines of Plymouth last week enjoying some r and r, I squeezed in a junkin' day.
I found some wonderful treasures that I am saving.
Not for a rainy day.
And, unfortunately, not for myself either.
I am saving them for an upcoming event at the shop.
Ssshhh, don't tell anyone yet! 

I will show you some things I am saving for my Christmas displays.
(No, this is not the upcoming event.) 
I know, who wants to think of Christmas in July?
But, when I find something that reminds me of the holidays and the price is right, I buy it...


I just loved the old green tins with their hints of red...


I can wait for the visions of sugarplums but the vintage holiday vignettes are dancing in my head...


One find that I am bringing in the shop tomorrow is this sweet old farmhouse curio cabinet...


It is handmade and perfectly imperfect...



I am bringing some other pieces in tomorrow as well.
One is a makeover piece and one is a piece I made.
I am saving them for White Wednesday so I hope to see you then!


Today I am sharing with Linda for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday over at Coastal Charm.
I have not joined in over there for a while so I am off to see what's going on!

Thank you for stopping by!

Cute tins, Sandi- I buy Christmas stuff all year long too...crazy because I DON'T have a shop.

I love that little curio cabinet with the chicken wire. I would probably paint those little hinges black if I had in in my home though- xo Diana

I've been drawing out visions of Christmas vignettes ...on paper. Christmas IS in July On Crooked Creek...well, the planning stages, anyway! Every other year we host...and this is our year to host Christmas!!! It really isn't too early, dear friend. So "bring it on"...please! Thanks for your sweet comment and visit recently. I love my chandelier...just really hard to photograph!!!
Fondly,
