Christmas Open House

Welcome! I am joining in the open houses hosted by Deena and Heather.
Please visit there blogs for  the fun lists of all the participants. It's a nice day for a stroll so let's get going.
This is a centerpiece that I used at Thanksgiving and will use again for the Christmas table.

Vintage pink ornaments go in every container available.
This is my hall tree by the front door. The Noel banner is tarnishing nicely.
My collection of houses and bottlebrush trees line the mantle, topped by the wreath of vintage ornaments that I made. 
Thanks for stopping and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
