I saw these ADORABLE German grain sack ornaments and stockings over at 3 Fine Grains’ Facebook page. I.am.smitten. I really want those starfish. Aren’t they adorable?
I love that they are the real deal too, real authentic German grain sack ornaments! You might remember that 3 Fine Grains is the company that made my stork pillow, and another new pillow I have yet to show you! Kymberley does a beautiful job, everything she creates is high quality, lovely and inspiring.
And I really love those stockings too. LOVE.

I am barely getting my Christmas decorating started no less a big project!! Though as I am decorating my dining room it makes me want to get the paint brush out big time!! It will just have to wait!

happy, happy christmas to you!

The day before Thanksgiving I recieved a visit from the “bank”… the man said that my Land Lord whom I have been leasing and paying payments to for 3 years decided 10 months ago to stop paying the mortgage… I am moving the week before Christmas!
:) well…. i guess thats a good excuse to not break out the Christmas decor this year huh? :) Heck I am always up for a new adventure.
I will just have to admire yours and pretend…
Thanks always for the inspiration.

Beautiful decorations. Still working on the house here, haven’t yet started the Christmas decorations.
I’m working on oodles of new home projects too in Marrakech! I shared some my home on my blog this week if you want to have a peek, Melissa.
So the question is…. can I find something like this in Germany itself this Christmas? Hmmm. I’m in love.

These are beautiful! They fit right in with my desire for more natural tones and materials. If only I could justify buying all new Christmas decorations each year.

Melissa,
I have the sweet luxury of having a room just for moi’, and will be painting it this weekend. That is iIf I can fit it in between cookie baking and Christmas decorating!

Yes – it seems no matter how much I have going on I never can stop myself from starting a new project!
.-= Stacy @ Red Door Home´s last blog ..My Home for the Holidays – {Part I} =-.
Those decorations make me want to get the sewing machine out and make a bunch! Of course, since I already am in the middle of scraping wallpaper off my girls’ bedroom (which REALLY should have waited until after the holidays!) I better not start another project. But file it away and maybe in July when I have a minute, I’ll start early for next year!

I love, love, love the colour palette here. So natural and warm. Very suitable for an Australian Christmas. Thanks for sharing! Meredith xo.

I saw those ornaments and stockings too *swoon*. And no, you are certainly not alone in beginning projects as the holidays are upon us! I just repainted my familyroom :) I think getting all the pretties out motivates us to get done those projects we’ve been putting off. And having a blog helps too….gives you an audience!
.-= cindy´s last blog ..I’m crashing the Holiday Cloche Party at Marty’s place. =-.
Yes! For some reason I am actually thinking of taking picture frames apart and painting them, starting slipcovers, etc. This makes no sense when there are so many other things that need to be done. Ugh.
Um, YES!! I have my husband looking at desks for the guest room- he’s like really Gina, this can’t wait? But I think at a time we know our house is going to be filled with lots of friends and family we want to get those things done- instead of saying, well, I’m going to do this….
.-= gina´s last blog ..Christmas inspiration… =-.
Love them. I made my son a burlap stocking this week and it’s pretty cute, considering I made it. Ha.
I would love to link up one of the many holiday things i’ve blogged this week but my blog is dead. Woe is me.
Happy painting, Melissa!
Love the stockings too! The ornaments are very beautiful! Thanks so much for hosting! I’m looking forward to seeing your decorations.

Thank you for hosting these little parties, Melissa. I’m looking forward to the big home tours, but it’s so nice to find bits of inspiration along the way!

I do find myself feeling crazy with all sorts of ideas for my home-I’m just filing those ideas away and practicing patients until the New Year!
.-= Gina´s last blog ..One Down, Two to Go =-.
Thanks for sharing those ornaments! I think I just might make some…of course they’ll be made of dropcloth, and not authentic antique grain sacks…but the look will be similar!

Hi Melissa, I love the simplicity of those ornaments and stockings. I am having a crisis of decorating faith at the moment…having trouble making decisions.

You are so funny about having to restrain yourself from painting. Same exact thing here… I have decided to turn my living room into an art studio since I have 2 dens (well, I actually decided a long time ago). But I have been so busy with artwork that I haven’t had time to do it. I bought the paint 2 months ago; it is sitting in my basement. I still haven’t put up my favorite Christmas tree which goes in that room because I thought we would paint first. I may as well realize it’s not going to happen before Christmas… sigh …too many commissioned pieces to complete. So, I told hubby this morning to go ahead and put up the tree that goes there. :) It’s a good news/bad news situation, but now I am looking at the first of the year to paint and move into my new studio…
Blessings,
Christi

I love the stockings- wish I had made some like that, just picked some up that aren’t nearly as cute.
Thanks for the link party and great ideas.
how lovely and how simple…..i’m beginning to think that simple is most lovely….especially after a major move…of which you can relate…..
so, how much did you “get rid” of before your major move? :-)
love to u….lylah

They lend such a lovely rustic quality to Christmas decorating. I absolutely love them.
Great job, Melissa! Thanks for sharing. :-)

Hi Melissa,
I just got my necklace from Julian and Co. I love it – it’s perfect.
The decorations are wonderful. I love the neutral colors.
Blessings,
Lisa
Those stockings are sheer perfection! I went and joined (or followed, or became a fan of, or whatever the correct terminology is) the 3 Fine Grains FB page. Absolutely gorgeous items! Thanks for sharing. I won’t be decorating for Christmas this year…simply no time, and with my little condo so unfinished, there’s really no room. I’m enjoying seeing other people’s decorations!! I’ll have to live vicariously this season.
.-= Kristi @ Addicted2Decorating´s last blog ..Random Thoughts On A Friday Afternoon:: Built-In Cabinets and Window Treatments =-.
Absolutely, but I sometimes get frustrated when ALL the projects don’t get done. I’m working on just letting it go sometimes. Our guests are mostly family, and they love us regardless.
Thanks for hosting, I linked up. I think the Holiday theme is great!

I am taking your button for my sidebar, Melissa. I am moving so slow this year. Not doing as much. I’ll try to add a post, to your list, Friday.
