Heavenly finds

I have spent time this weekend doing some treasure hunting as well as remembering that Memorial Day is for our military, past, present and future.  Here is what I found:
This little sweetie was right there at the entrance to My Sister's Attic waiting for me to grab him up and take him home!  I think the "tray" is for candles, but a plant, small books, rosary, small jar filled with shells, etc. would look even better than a candle!  Just too stinkin' cute!
I also found these three concrete decorative crosses at My Sister's Attic as well.  Love those because they look old and crusty.  They are older because the hangers on the back are rusted.  I have also coffee dyed another old book which you can see beside the little angel.  See my blog of May 22 here to see how to coffee dye these bundles.  Easy peasy!!

More Christmas displays in the house

Time to change over from Thanksgiving and fall and get into the Christmas spirit.  I don't put up a tree anymore since my husband passed away 7 years ago.  But I do like to put up small trees in displays around the house.  Here are the first two I finished yesterday.

I replaced the red southwest runner for this old seed bag.  The glittery tree and the little cloche on the silver stand I bought yesterday at FOUND in Mesa, AZ.  This store has wonderful things for decorating and they were having a sale this weekend.  So I took advantage!

These candles are battery operated.  Love their nice glow in the evening.  I also put out two of my clear crystal rosaries around on the mirror.


And finally this display I put together yesterday as well. 

The little white tree was a great find at My Sister's Attic.  Had to tuck the branches up a bit so it would fit under the tall cloche, but it works!  Now I think I need a few glittery stars to decorate the tree.  Yes, that's just craft stuffing around the base of the tree.  The bottle on the right is an empty Patron bottle decorated with pearls.  The other bottle has a wonderful "Dream" collar with a rhinestone crown -- also a find at FOUND.
