This is my second post on my holiday décor. If you missed the first one,
which featured mostly rustic décor, you can see it
here.
I have been waiting almost a month for an item I wanted to use this
year as part of my new décor.
It finally came in the mail.
at Jann's Have a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson.
I am going with the romantic theme in this post, although I couldn't resist
putting a picture in of my vintage, retro tree. It
has a little bit of romance on it.
My house is a mix of rustic, romantic, retro and traditional décor.
What can I say?
I love all styles of décor with a huge emphasis on vintage :-)
This is the item I was waiting for.
My husband bought me the dress form so that I could play dress up
for the seasons. When I saw this dress,
I knew that is what I wanted to style for Christmas.
It is sage green with just enough red and green to make it Christmasy.
I added a simple red satin bow, a sparkly gold pick and some vintage pearls.

I have a collection of nativities and this is one of my favorites.
I bought it years ago on QVC. It was a limited quantity item and
I have never seen anything like it since.
Across the room is another small porcelain nativity I found
this year at a thrift store. It fits perfectly with my
mirror vignette and Gurley angels.
My mantel is dressed with Joy. The vintage picture hanging above it
is of a sleigh driving through the countryside.
Such a romantic thought for Christmas time.
The sweet glass vase with the ornament on top was
found at a show this past September on a 90 degree day.
Still, I was thinking ahead for Christmas decorating.
My stackable poinsettia boxes were found a few years
ago at half price after Christmas. I have
loved them ever since.
You saw the window seat in my first post.
I added the snowman pillow since then. The snowflakes in the
windows with my fringed valances add a touch of romance
to my parlor.

In the living room, the floor to ceiling window gets
dressed every year with a sparkly wreath and
gold ribbon.
The top of the armoire has a handmade (from Etsy) JOY banner
and flocked trees.
My snowman sits atop a chippy bench
that is hiding the plug for the tree.
You can link up your Christmas home tours
