In the heart of Victorian London, a gentleman named Henry and his charming companion, Eleanor, embarked on a holiday stroll that transcended time. Henry, adorned in a tailored coat and top hat, exuded refined elegance, while Eleanor's festive gown sparkled like a jewel against the snow-dusted cobblestones. As they walked beneath the warm glow of gas lamps, the air filled with the nostalgic melody of Christmas carols. Wreath-adorned storefronts created a whimsical backdrop for their romantic journey, casting a spell of enchantment on the wintry scene. Capturing the essence of a bygone era, this image prompt invites artists to portray the couple's expressions and period attire, weaving together the romance and festive spirit of a Victorian Christmas. #VictorianHolidayRomance #LondonStroll #ChristmasElegance

I've been absent from the blog the past month for a couple reasons. 1) We decided to finally pull the trigger on redecorating our home office. There are still a couple final touches for that but I will share as soon as it's ready! 2) My "free time" has been occupied with fulfilling orders for my business. Since I started it in late-January of this year, it's my first experience with the holiday shopping season. Sales are definitely picking up this time of year! I love that people are supporting small businesses and buying handmade. Personally, I find those items so much more special to give (or receive!). I'm sure many (most?) of you have already decorated for the holidays -- and if you're really on your game, may even have your shopping done & gifts already wrapped -- but I wanted to share some fantastic Christmas decor finds from Etsy with you. If it's too late to snatch up these beauties for this year, perhaps you can start planning ahead for next year! I typically change up the color scheme for our Christmas decor each year, but I love the timeless look of these white and metallic items. It's a scheme I've done before, and after finding all this loveliness, I'm fairly certain that we'll be doing it again next year. It is just so darn pretty to look at! Noel letters Ivory sequined stocking (lots of custom options to choose from!) Faceted & striped mercury glass ornaments Pine tree gift wrap Rustic mistletoe (custom options available) Gold glitter tape Cream glittered bottle brush trees Metallic & white gift tags Soy candle set (Check out the other yummy Christmas scents available too!) White felt ball garland Rose gold wrapping paper Glass glitter snowflake ornament set Gold & rose gold glitter clothespins Advent calendar Vintage sheet music wreath White burlap tree skirt with gold piping Hope you're having some festive fun decorating your home and preparing for the holiday! ...And as soon as I find time to get gifts wrapped, I'll be sharing our whimsical woodland decor with you.
I love this minimalist Christmas wreath. A fresh or faux evergreen wreath with gold bells and a velvet ribbon make this a timeless look perfect for your holiday front porch. See how to make it!

Easy DIY rolled book page dahlia flower wreath. This wreath adds a beautiful and romantic feel to every room. Use an old book or vintage music sheets to create your very book page wreath!
When I was little, my friend Jason and I would walk to "Taylor's," a little store that was very close to my house, and buy a candy called "Circus Peanuts." They are orange and marshmallow-y and shaped like a very large peanut. My favorite color was orange and I really liked the movie Dumbo, so I think that's how I arrived at eating the Circus Peanuts. It can't be because of the way they taste. They are kind of yucky. But despite their yucky-ness, I can't resist buying Circus Peanuts when I see them for sale anywhere. (They are not readily available these days...I can't imagine why.) When I eat that peanut shaped marshmallow, it makes me feel like I am a little girl rejoicing in the simple pleasures of summer and spending time with sweet friends. Camp Take Me Away is like eating a giant Circus Peanut. CTMA is a retreat for women who camped or worked at Camp Desoto in years gone by. For 5 days, they get to be campers and re-live the summers that they spent on the mountain. Many of the ladies are dear old friends and some are new faces, but they all have a common experience that binds them together. Can you imagine how fun it would be to go to one of your favorite places with your favorite people?! It is probably my favorite week to work at camp. Thank you, Camp Desoto, for letting me be a part of this retreat! Now, let's get down to business. I taught crafts for Camp Take Me Away, and this year we made fun fancy wreaths. Just look at these Craft Mama's working their fingers to the bone! The ladies made so many different and beautiful wreaths...I wish that I had a picture of each one to show you. Here is an example wreath that I made. This one is wrapped in burlap and decorated with bright felt flowers... The other example I made is covered with pages of an old book. How great would this be for a book club? It could be cool to use an old hymnal or music book for this project, as well. Love it! What's that? You want to know how to make your own book wreath? Well, let's do it! Book Wreath Tutorial First you will need a straw wreath form and burlap cut into approximately 2 inch strips. For a 24 inch wreath, you will need about a half yard of burlap. Wrap the burlap strips around your wreath. Secure ends with hot glue or straight pins. Next, you will need an old book. You could just as easily use a new book, but the yellowed pages of an old book give the wreath more interest. Carefully cut, or gently tear, the pages from the book. Roll each page into a little scroll and secure with hot glue. Tie each scroll with twine. I mostly tied singular scrolls, but I also tied a dozen or so multiple bundles (2 or 3 scrolls tied together). It will take about 75 scrolls to cover a wreath. Use strait pins or hot glue to secure the scrolls to the wreath. Here's a helpful hint...I glued my multiple scroll bundles (2's and 3's) to the wreath first in even increments (think of a clock- tie bundles at 12, 3, 6, and 9) and then filled in between those. Glue a small loop of twine to the back of the wreath as a hanger. Hang. Enjoy. Admire. That's all there is to it! Easy Peasy. Go find yourself some Circus Peanuts, pretend you're at Camp Take Me Away, and make a book wreath. Lovin' ya. Mel Dark

BRING BACK A NOSTALGIC CHRISTMAS AT A GLANCE! This wreath is approximately 18” diameter with a 5-6" depth. It has a metal wire hook, is lightweight and easy to display. True VINTAGE ornaments and embellishments are mixed with shatterproof ornaments. Sparkly elf on the shelf, foil light reflectors, miniature wooden figures, vintage tinsel ornaments, gold pine cones, light bulbs, santas and miniature deer will remind one of past Christmas holidays. I offer stunning UNIQUE designs with QUALITY WORKMANSHIP. I strive for elements of great design by carefully attending to composition, color, contrast, harmony, focal points, negative space, texture. Lighting is difficult when photographing, hence, the wreath is much more sparkly and vibrant than in the photos. Customers have commented that their wreath is much more spectacular in person. Please read reviews. Prices vary and are reflective of size, cost of materials, value of specific vintage ornaments, special packaging supplies required, production time, and original creative design. Every wreath is carefully wrapped, boxed, insured and SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. Pictures are part of the description. Please email if there are any questions or requests. Not for outdoor display. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO VISIT MY SHOP TO VIEW THE VARIED STYLES AND COLORS. I STRIVE TO NOT PRODUCE "COOKIE CUTTER" WREATHS AND HOPE MY DESIGNS ARE REFLECTIVE OF MY PHILOSOPHY THAT " ONE STYLE DOES NOT FIT ALL".
