DECK THE HALLS FRIDAY - New Vendor & Ornaments

WELCOME TO DECK THE HALLS FRIDAY!

Apologies for my absence the last few weeks...technical problems, kids back in school, sharing a computer with hubby, life...

The last couple weeks I have been putting together tinsel & company's Christmas collection.  I came across a great new vendor that I am considering carrying in my shop.  Below is a peek at some of their offerings.

What do you think, see anything you like?  I love hearing your thoughts!

Do you have any HOLIDAY INSPIRATION to share this week?

Join the DECKT THE HALLS FRIDAY linky party and share your ideas, inspiration, stories, whatever you are thinking about this week that is holiday related. 

 

- A new post or re-post from seasons past
- Link as many posts as you like each week
- Holiday inspiration photos (if they aren't yours be sure to give credit where credit is due)
- Gift Ideas
- Recipes
- Crafts
- Planning tips and so on...

All I ask is that you link your post back to mine and either grab my DECK THE HALLS FRIDAY button to place in your post or on your sidebar and/or mention DECK THE HALLS FRIDAY in your post.

Have a great weekend!

 

Best wishes,

Tammy

HALLOWEEN MASKS ARE HERE!

Slowly the new Halloween collection is starting to trickle in...the latest to arrive are the HALLWEEN FACES MASKS by BETHANY LOWE DESIGNS. They are so much fun and I can think of about a million and one different things you could do with them!

I have been playing with them all over the house...I would love to see them on a big pumpkin!  They are sized so that they could be worn but not that comfortable as they are a stiff pressed paper board, the witches nose does bend upward to go over your nose.  I am crazy about the graphic quality of the masks.  What would you do with them?

More Halloween to come later this week!

Best wishes,

Tammy

FARMHOUSE GOODS

I mentioned a couple posts back that there are lots of new things on their way to tinselshop.com. For quite sometime I have been wanting to expand the decor category. Below is a little preview of what's to come...

Set of 3 galvanized stands, cute for cupcakes and perfect with fall gourds and leaves

Ceramic Owls

Ephemera print paper lanterns

Telescoping stand for your vintage postcards and photos

Love this color! Distressed flower frog

Distressed wood frame with metal flower accent

BIG wooden farmhouse...I want to move right in!

Paper roses

Distressed wood angel wings...I am so in love with these!

Some of the above is already on order others I am still contemplating.

This time of year I am always inspired by rustic and aged pieces.  All are reproductions, great for those of us not fortunate enough to have access to great flea markets and auctions.  Tell me what you think.

Best wishes,

Tammy

HALLOWEEN...in February?

Who's thinking about Halloween when we haven't even make it through Easter?  Me and most anyone that sells seasonal decor.  Vendors are previewing their fall and winter offerings as earlier as December.  Seeing all the new goodies make me want to skip right to fall, as much as I love all those bunnies...I can't help myself.  So I ask you this question, when do you start shopping for fall and Halloween?

This is one of my new favorite items by Bethany Lowe Designs for 2011.

Set of 3 paper masks.  How cute will they be on a jack-o-lantern, on a plaster bust, in a wreath, tied around a glass hurricane, hung on the back of chairs, hanging in the window, I could go on...

If it is a great piece that I can't live without I will buy it anytime no matter the season.  On the upside come September and October when there are other expenses like costumes, parties, and back to school shopping I will still have a great piece that I bought back in May to add to my collection.  OK, I will probably buy a new piece in October too...then I end up with two (or three, or...) great pieces!

BLACK CAT IN PUMPKIN by Dee Foust for Bethany Lowe Designs

I want your feedback, do you shop for seasonal decor items out of season?  Would an "early bird" discount or incentive of some kind pursuade you to shop or reserve a piece early? 

Best wishes,
Tammy

Tis the season!  I am so in Christmas mode right now.  Yes, I do LOVE Thanksgiving but I can't help myself.  I admit that I did break out a couple Christmas decorations this week.  The space that held Halloween goodies must be filled, right?  Why pull out my everyday decor for a couple weeks?

This week I am excited to share the goodies I have on the way from Bethany Lowe...

 
These are some of my very favorite pieces and they should be here next week!  My plan have the SHOP updated by the end of next week, we'll see...

DECK THE HALLS FRIDAY - ORNAMENTS ARE HERE!

I am a bit out of sorts this week. Getting ready for a Halloween party on Sunday, putting the finishing touches on the little ones costumes, and dealing with the terrifying 3's and the frightening 4's... The terrible 2's never entered our house. The occasional mini fit but all in all the kids were great. Once Logan started school things went downhill FAST. Naps are a battle, the girls can no longer live in one room together leaving momma frazzled, frustrated and exhausted... If I haven't left a comment on your blog lately I apologize. When I get a chance I do stop by but am on most occasions interrupted within seconds. This also explains my lack of posts recently and the state of my store. The website is a bit of a mess and not entirely up to date. It drives me crazy and I will be back on track soon, I hope...

In the meantime while in the throws of Halloween I received a couple shipments of AMAZING ornaments and I couldn't wait to share them with you.
