Arranging Shoes


I have been still dragging Christmas decorations and trying to get the top of my shabby chic white cabinet in my kitchen decorated. I don't have a fire place so I use the top of an old dish safe for my mantle, Sort of make believe LOL
I love doing it but ohmygosh the mess and finding cubby holes to put things in for whats setting there now.I think this is a mature lady thing? LOL I bet you young gals stay up all night decorating after the family has gone to bed, well not me I'm in bed watching TV at 8:30 pm now that the time has changed.

This is my progress so far.I love my  vintage pink beaded shoes from the 1960's so wanted to work them in my silver and pink ideas this year.
                                             

I'm still arranging and rearranging . I love these trees I bought years ago with the silver ball ornaments on them I have seen them on other blog posts also this year.


Then I love my pearl tiara so just brought her into the mix laying it over one of the pink shoes


My little lady doll has her pearls on also and she wears them year round 

Also love this pink french wide ribbon I bought once so just set the spool up among all the other items 

This is a long view of the green end of the mantle I'm working on, since I 've taken this picture I moved the sleigh basket to another cabinet top. Like I said I'm working on it 



Linky parties I am joining in for fun

    I add and change up a little everyday. I am not stressing this year, no not at all. As a young mother, I wondered how my mother could love all the decorating she did day after day. She was in no hurry, just enjoyed every day. I think I understand now. I love all your decorations. They look like you've slaved over them. They are beautiful.

    Your decorations are so glamorous and beautiful! I love your doll lady and all of the pretty trees. Everything goes together so nicely. I look for nooks and crannies to put more things out. It's FUN! Happy holidays, Diane

    I've been working on my decorations for many days now. A little here a little there. I think finding places for the things I'm taking down is very hard. So now the whole house is a mess, still I like the tree lights. Love the beaded shoes with trees in them. I do pink and white in my bedroom but haven't even started there yet. How many days til Christmas?

    Love all your little touches. Glad to know I am not the only one ready to be tucked in early. Happy Pink Saturday!
    PS - I am always looking for nooks and crannies to tuck stuff in to so I can make room for Christmas too

    I fall in love with beautiful shoes, but the ones I love are not for a 78 year old.
    Also I am a lover of pearls, more than diamonds. Have a fun time with your Girlfriends. Life is short, I have lost so many friends. Well, Merry Christmas.

    Hi Janice,
    Did you by any chance get that gold sleigh basket from Michael's? I am trying to find one for my Christmas postcards and liked the size of that one and I think I saw it at Michael's.
