Happy Christmas Eve!
· Reichel
I went with a robin’s egg blue theme this year…to match with the living room walls ๐ There are a lot of bird and peacock feather accents as well.
You can’t really see it that well in this picture, but I hung this gorgeous vintage looking garland from Etsy seller: MilkpodStudio on the fireplace. I absolutely love it!

I haven’t found a good tree topper yet…sigh. I searched high and low! I finally ordered this one from Wisteria, but it’s not coming in time for this year ๐

I made these ornaments by buying a flannel shirt from the Goodwill and wrapping squares around some plain glass ball ornaments from Michael’s. I got the original idea from Eddie Ross, but made them a little bit differently than he did.
Sorry for the quality in these last three pics: they were taken with my iphone!
I also made custom stockings from Goodwill sweaters! Aren’t they cute?
And last but not least, my absolute favorite Christmas piece this year: a handmade tie tree skirt. Made with 32 ties from, where else?…the Goodwill. It doesn’t go all the way around…yet! I think I’ll add more ties each year ๐ I got the idea from Etsy seller: FromEveryday2NewLove.


I love the sweater stockings! How hard were they to make? Even though Christmas is over, I may have to try this and have it ready for next year.
They were soo easy! And I actually just slipped the sweater part over stockings I already had to give them some structure & a cool cuff ๐
