Decorating for Christmas… Crafting for Valentine’s Day
Posted on 13th December, 2009
December is such a fun and festive month here… I love decorating my primitive twig tree, each year with a few more new ornaments than the last. I always keep some pine scented candles burning throughout the month to make it smell like we have a real tree. As I unwrap my winter folk art decorations and place them about the house, each one brings smiles and gets me in the Christmas spirit. Below are a few peeks at my primitive Christmas decor this year.
I have also been working on some new ornament designs for next year, beginning with Valentine’s Day. I added a new set of vintage style chenille cupid ornaments to my Old World Primitives Etsy shop today. They are ready for the season of love with their Valentine hearts and arrows.

Thanks, Doreen! And no matter how early I start with each holiday, I still always feel a bit behind.

decorating dolls through upcoming holidays is a better idea on not using electric lights just to make a creative design at your house.

I agree.

Lovely to have a sneak peek into your home Stephanie. Your folk art ornaments are gorgeous and just right. I love that picture on one of the photos too – the big house. The cupid dolls are lovely too. We have had a fall of snow today and more expected overnight. Feels very Christmassy here now.

Thank you, Cathy.
It feels Christmasy here now too with the decorations up, but we have only had one little snow so far that has long since melted away. I am hoping for more within the next week!

Thanks for sharing your Christmas decorating – I am always looking for new ideas. It also takes me a week to decorate for Christmas – glad to know I have company and I even have some of the ornaments/prints in your pictures. I am CRAZY about the cabinet in your parents dining room. Do you know where it came from? I would love to order one if they are still available. Thanks for sharing… Happy New Year… April

Hi April,
You are very welcome – thank you for visiting! Christmas decorating takes me a little longer each year too, but I do enjoy it. I love the cabinet in my parents’ dining room too – it’s an antique from the 1800s.
