    Instagram With Me!

    • The more I scroll through pictures from past Christmases, the more I realize how second nature it is for me to use something I collect as seasonal decor. ⁠ ⁠ I love to create centerpieces for coffee tables, dining tables, and anyplace. Wood bowls can be used for anything. I put a nondescriptive bowl or container upside down inside. This creates a level spot and fills the void. Top it with faux snow and then arrange. Simple and festive. And people say my collections are pointless 😂🎄!⁠ ⁠ #christmas #farmhousechristmas #bhghowiholiday #howiholiday #whatchristmasmeanstome #fleamarketstyle #vintagechristmas #christmascollection
    • I love a good Christmas house. Did you all grow up with one of those Christmas villages?! The ones where you could add houses, stores, churches, benches, people, and lights? I used to love setting the village up with Mom. Then I remember when we decided the whole thing was too gaudy and let it go 😂.⁠ ⁠ Maybe these vintage-style houses are my way of remembering? For me, that’s what Christmas is all about: the memories! What’s your favorite holiday memory? ⁠ ⁠ #christmasmemory #vintagechristmas #christmasvillage #bhghowiholiday #christmas
    • This woodland-themed tree was always a favorite! Somehow without even trying, the colors went perfectly with the yellow ware/Rockingham pottery collection I have in the room! This tree always greeted guests when they entered: mushrooms, pine cones, and birds.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This will not be the entry anymore and I haven’t decided if this tree will go up next year or not. Don’t worry: either way, the ornaments will be incorporated into something. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #christmastree #christmas #ohchristmastree #farmhousechristmas #bhghowiholiday #christmascollection #vintagechristmas
    • Yesterday, I posted a teeny close-up, but this is a better vantage of last year's bottle brush tree display! It’s funny, even after collecting these for over 15 years, I still find ones I've never seen! ⁠ ⁠ I love mixing them with the little putz houses and tree toppers! It’s a vintage palooza 😍. I have the odd nostalgia for an era I was never a part of. Why?! I have no idea, but I’ll keep collecting until I figure it out 🤦‍♂️🎄😘.⁠ ⁠ Do you have collections you're also currently expanding? Let me know in the comments and let me know I'm not alone!⁠ ⁠ #christmas #vintagechristmas #bottlebrushtree #antiquechristmas #christmascollecting #howiholiday #whatchristmasmeanstome #bhghowiholiday
    • Vintage Christmas will always be my first love! The bottle brush trees make any space feel cheery. This little guy is a vintage one marked with “Japan” on the bottom, probably from about the 1960’s. If you find items marked "Occupied Japan," then they're from 1947-1952. I love the odd shape and sparse look!⁠ ⁠ #merrychristmas #christmascheer #vintagechristmas #fleamarketchristmas #antiquechristmas #bhghowiholiday #merryandbright
    • I find this amusing: growing up, we never ever bought greens to fill empty planters. Now I can’t think of anything else! I have a few things around the farm I can use, but most of my trees are too young! ⁠ ⁠ I always like to add structure. This metal sphere is accented with Edison style lights! Instant Christmas and that always makes me happy! ⁠ ⁠ #christmas #christmasgreens #christmascheer #farmhousechristmas #bhghowiholiday #outdoorchristmas
