~My sister, Suzette did the Polar Bear Table~
again, imagine all the candles are lit.
Suzette's son said he'd tried to pick up his kids toys at her house, but couldn't find the toy box...
She tapped this wooden box while chuckling, " Yeah, here is the toy box!"
~ Nothing is safe around us! We definitely love to repurpose!~
& nothing else would have displayed the wreath so perfectly.
Mostly the theme that ran throughout the room was
song sheets and polar bears...
keeping with the neutrals made it seem peaceful,
even with being filled from floor to ceiling.
Which, I've stated, "Floor to Ceiling" was my goal!
Check out those lovely paper flowers!
The table had been a blond 80's sofa table,
The table had been a blond 80's sofa table,
bought at a Goodwill store for 3.99.
It had some glass on top that didn't fit, nor belong...
Sandra fixed it up with bead board and distressed white paint.
Suzette made the flowers and I dyed, cut, and with the help of Suzette's grand kids
glued hundreds of Christmas song sheet chains.
glued hundreds of Christmas song sheet chains.
They are so perfect to hide cords, along with keeping our theme highlighted throughout the room.
The Santa is available at the Victorian Lady Tea Room.

Now, more details...
One day, I was bored making plain chains, so I made one with chains hanging down and then I saw the perfect spot to put it. Everything just found the right spot, it seemed!
Even the carolers & Santa have song sheets!
little birdies on the lamp
These acorns are huge.
Suzette's grand daughter gathered them from her yard. Reminding me again, nothing we can make ever beats
God's creation.
Years ago, my mom collected this twig tree, from someone's yard. In a "prior life" they were shrubs, maybe? She did have around four of them. I have always loved them. We hung a single bird from a branch, with some mercury glass ornaments on the plant stand.
Love the horse Suzette repainted...
Do y'all think horses are a new trend?
Just wondering. I'm always curious to see what might be marketed next...It's a fun guessing game trying to spot the next trend. So, I'll predict horses, lol. It's all silly, really.
Nothing was safe from the decoupage, bling or the song sheets!
The whole White polar bear scene
looked as if it would be cold to the touch...
the woodsy elements cozied it up.
last pic, but certainly not the least sentiment
Merry Christmas!

Lezlee!
the pictures look great. I'm sure your pictures don't do it justice...In person would have been better.
I was almost gonna get to come...but we went to visit Honey's brother in Dallas (who had just gotten home from being hospitalized) ...and we wrecked our car!
We're just gonna have to make our own appointment to meet sometime!
Yes, we are!
Lezlee, this is awesome! I need to come and see all of this! I would spend hours in a place like this and be ticked when they kicked me out at closing time.
Hugs- Tete
WOW, Lezlee, I am smitten. I love the acorns, the twig tree and the polar bears so much! What an awesome display.
I hope all the hard work that went into was appreciated by those taking the tour. I would love to have seen it in person. Maybe next year .......
Your displays look amazing-especially like the polar bear one!
what a lovely table, Such pretty things! Love the whole thing.
Everything is wonderful. The table is great and there are so many creative ideas here! Great pictures too.
Very pretty! ~Cheers Kim
Just beautiful Those GIANT acorns are so cool!!
You are the trend setter, my friend. Everything is simply gorgeous.
The acorns are humongous! Better wear a hard hat if you are going to hang out under the tree that those came from. They could knock you out cold.
Very, very lovely!

Those are giant acorns!
This week I found some wonderful wooden acorn caps that may be about that size. Nothing I make will be a good as nature.
You have inspired me to make paper chains.
And carefully packed away is my polar bear collection. I may bring one or two out for the season.
Very inspiring.
Wow! That looks amazing. Nothing is safe around my house either!! Ha!
