Cookie cutter ceramic tags



I've been playing with cookie cutters in holiday shapes




with ceramic clay rolled out




and the little snowflake stamp




creating one of a kind gift tags



and holiday ornaments


for embellishing and decorating...

Merry bling, bling, bling





with vintage finds ...



and a simple silver beaded wreath,



layered on top of another wreath



this one a little larger


and the process continues ...



until I am happy,

or maybe there is no more space !




I LoVe layering

throughout my cottage home and garden,

in my wardrobe,


in my creative endeavours


and here with all the sparkly treasures

used to create this holiday wreath !


Merry bling, bling, bling,

makes my heart sing !

Holiday decor

Welcoming the holidays with a wreath,



inside or outside the home



is perfect for the beginning of fall season

right through the holidays.



On this traditional style wreath

I especially liked using rose hips instead of the

traditional berries

and the quail rather than a dove.



For a coordinating look in the dining room,

cut a burlap runner and layer it over a white tablecloth

then create a garland down the center

with similar greenery and embellishment.



Consider embellishing with burlap roses with pine cone centers,

and quail eggs with found feathers.



Holiday decorating continues around the cottage...
