Glittery house and snowman

I picked up this vintage style white mica house
at TJMaxx this week.
It came with tiny cream colored bottle brush trees 
and a lighted interior.
A happy addition to my sideboard in the dining room.
Do you see Mr. Snowman?
He is a handsome fellow all in cream and silver.
Thanks so much Laurie Anna!
All glittered up with a paper collar and jingle bell buttons.
Taking a cue from my purple transferware I added 
luscious lavendar ribbon to my chandy in my
 dining room that is mostly white and grey.
Its dreamy and soft.

My centerpiece has vintage pink balls and greens
on an old silverplate footed server.
Soft sprinkling of snow on the platter...
Sometimes candles on either side seem too symmetrical...
so I placed them together off to the side.
A faux cedar tree in a champagne bucket gets the 
ribbon treatment too.

I ordered a vintage pink mica house from Etsy 
as well as some pink bottle brush trees!
I can't wait to play with them.
These little houses are charming.
This one was $12.99 at TJMaxx.
If you are looking to create a village vignette, 
don't forget to look there in addition to Etsy and Ebay.
This house was loaded with 
glittery snow drifting on the rooftop.

Amy, so much that I love about this where do I begin? Love the ribbon on the light fixter... the bird sconces...the tall Christmas trees on the buffet...the centerpiece... the cute way you dressed your sheers... it's all so elegant - what a pretty room you've created and many of these elements can stay after the holidays!

You really found a great glitter house! Love your decor. That gives me an idea, maybe I can cut a small hole in the back of my glitter house and add a light!

Thanks for sharing, Amy. Your dining room is so elegant! I love the touch of lavender and the champagne bucket, too. What a score at TJ Maxx for the mica house. Don't you just love the TJX stores? We're fortunate to have so many around here. Happy WW!

Looks beautiful! I like your little snow flakes too floating across your blog :)

First time to visit ... stopping by from Faded Charm. Your new little house is so pretty. And it has just the right feel for your space. The lilac ribbon is a nice touch!

Oh...I love this house! What a great find at TJ Maxx. I saw some great Santas there and other things but I resisted...but no houses! Very pretty. The whole dining room looks great. I am busy glittering things. I found a few new Christmas things today to add to my decor...which I'll show very soon.

I found a few shiny brites today which made me happy.

Amy, I've been perusing your recent posts...trying to catch up a bit as I had missed this one. Oh I am sooooo loving your houses. These are just too adorable. The pink one in the next post up is stunning. Your dining room looks fantastic. I love the ribbon throughout the chandy too. It looks like a winter wonderland in there. I want to come over! ;-)
