Loved your Santa! We should never have to apologize for having Santa, Pumpkins, the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny etc. in our homes. Our world is bad enough as it is, children should have imaginative characters for as long as possible.
@@thrilledthrifterhome That Santa is gorgeous. So my type with that vintage look. Dad and I were at Michael's just yesterday and I saw an almost identical one there (well many on the shelf. Lol). So I'm assuming he's probably from Michael's but from a Christmas or two ago. None of them looked as beautiful as yours. I'd say he's a keeper. Congrats hun. 😸🙏💞✝️
Stockings are perfect! What if another grand baby comes along? Heat Bond would be for me. My ornaments for my tree are black and red velvet like you got. My top is either a black top hat or a snow man head. Still deciding. Love the Santa bust! Do not take Santa back.
Julie, I love Santa also and I put up several large canvasses of him every year. But like you I worry sometimes about losing sight of what we are truly celebrating. Today, I read something on a sweatshirt that explains it perfectly. A marvelous Santa kneeling by a beautiful manger with the baby Jesus holding up his little arms to Santa. Under Santa in script it said "The season" and under my Lord it said "The reason". Enough said. Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful family from a fellow Texan.
To me. The way I see it is. Both men existed and walked this Earth. I believe Santa's origin's (St. Nicholas) is from the Nordic/Deutschland area. Other stories I've heard is he's from Russian history. Either way, to me both men lived once and did their best to give what little they had to the unfortunate and esp made sure the children never worried. Because children shouldn't have to worry (like adults do) in my opinion. My family (mostly my dad who worked a ton) always made sure my brother and I never worried about shelter, food, clothing, safety, etc... Because he was doing his best to provide and he knew my mom was always at home waiting for us, caring for the home. And the Lord was watching over all of us to make sure we never had to I suppose truly worry about anything. I'm grateful to the Lord and my dad. The Lord gave him a ton of strength to keep providing for us and his health stayed very well. (My dad has asthma and an enlarged heart valve, so the Lord has always been watching him closely). I'm grateful for the Lord Jesus, Santa and my dad. These men are all wonderful parts of my life. 😸🙏💞✝️🎅👨
Julie, I love the stockings! My best friend has 20 grandchildren! She also has 4 adult children with spouses and a couple of years ago they actually had to build a family room onto their "retirement home" n the country! As far as the angel tree topper goes, if the ribbon doesn't straighten the way you like it, you can use a curling iron to curl ribbon. You can also use a straightening iron to straighten out wrinkled ribbon, I have done it many times and it works great! I am also a pastors wife and yes, I also know the true meaning of Christmas. I have nativities, I have snowmen, and I have a small room I decorate with Santa!!!! That Santa is AMAZING... I have a couple of Santa figurines that are special and sentimental, one was my mothers and the other is an old world santa with the long robe, but you put an incense coe in hime and the smoke comes from his pipe...
Love the idea of putting the initials on the stockings❣️Maybe you could print their names on the bottom edge of the letters with a fine gold marker? The jewel idea is cute, but I’d be worried about it falling off.
Hiya lovelies out there. 😸 As I was watching, when you showed the identical Christmas stockings. I seen you got the letter hooks. If you wanted since it's not December just yet. Something my mom did in the 90's for our small family was she had purchased pretty decent sized stockings - but yours will do too. (Even decorative ones this will work for). My mom got some vintage looking fabric with different scenes (Santa, reindeer, snowmen, etc...) And she sewed the images on the outside, so come Christmas morning, we each knew who's stocking was who's. Not sure sadly on what happened to them, but I remember seeing photos of my little brother and I esp on Christmas morning holding them. The oldest memory of a photo was when I was about 3-4 yrs old. So my brother was about 1-2 yrs old. Last I saw them I was maybe 17. (Family has separated and divorced since 2009). But I've got my dad and I'm thinking of doing something like that again like my mom had done. 😸 Hope this gives you huns out there (men and women) some unique ideas esp for Christmas stockings. 😸🙏💞✝️
Great job shopping, Julie. Your tree will be beautiful. How exciting your home will be filled with family and all your decorating. You have a very lucky family to have you. You are the pillar and the light. Jesus loves you. XOXOXO
To add something to your tree, you can add wide ribbons like a garland tucked in and out of the branches. You can actually add your bell garland directly on top of the ribbon so it doesn’t get lost in the tree.
I was thinking pine comes for your tree and then saw you got the picks. I think simple bows made from velvet ribbon would be beautiful and even garland made from those wooden beads you found in a earlier video might do the trick you are looking for. I just know the tree will be beautiful no matter what so don't stress....❤
Hi Julie,some suggestions for your tree are Buffalo check or material you purchased for curtain made into bows,pine cones,berries and natural floral picks!😍
I have the same material. I made a curtain for under my sink. Love it. The Santa. Oh my word! He is beautiful. Love all the things for your tree. It’s going to look great!
If the awesome santa bust doesn't work in your bedroom, what about on the piano in your office? He would be a real eye catcher as you walk into that room!
I love your old world decorations, so pretty. I did think you might get the lighted mr & mrs claus for the kids room, they had that blow mold look 😊 Hope it all works out the way you want! ❤
I have a country tree in the den and a primitive tree in the dining room. I use store bought popcorn and cranberries on both. You can got some really realistic looking ones now. Love all your Christmas items. Can't wait to see your tree!
Love all the items. Maybe string popcorn and cranberries for the tree. I remember doing that. We were poor, my foster dad was a farmer. We had to make do with what we had to decorate the tree. Id set in front of the tree and string the popcorn and cranberries. It was great fun. And affordable. Maybe your grandkids would love doing that. The Santa is super nice and i like the tiny trees. Can't wait to see your tree and the curtains. I know it will all be amazing. Take care ❤❤❤
Oh, yes the pine cones. I did gather them. We had a very large pin tree. I had a swing in it. Funny with all the modern stuff. Thoes trees were the best. Mama would make a large cardboard star and cover it with tin foil. Such sweet memories 💖
Julie, beautiful things you shopped for your home. Love, Love, Love the Santa and I believe we can still have Santa in our homes as long as we give honor to the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus wants us to be happy too! Can’t wait to see your decorating videos I know your tree will be AMAZING even though you’re stressing you’re not doing it justice. ❤️🤍💚
I loooove the Santa bust- my husband collects santas ( over 300) & would love this one!! Hope they still have them in my Dallas stores🙏🙏 I can honestly say I’ve never had this large a haul 😂😂 Impressive 😉
I love everything you've got!! You've got a good eye for the primitive colors and styles! Why don't you use some of that beautiful material as a DIY Garland around your tree!
Hobby lobby is my favorite place ! I’m there often . Went Saturday and bought 2 Christmas wall art pieces. I Also bought two wooden initials like yours for my two granddaughters. Love your stuff!!! I love all you bought . Tree topper is adorable. I also saw the fabrics and blanket and rug!!! . I know what you mean. Hate threading machine so I rarely use it . What is ‘flock’? Can’t wait to see your tree! Love Santa bust. This was fun … ❤xx
If you want old fashion Christmas tree why not put tinsel on it. It will make the tree stand out, look old fashion and with the l7ghts hitting the tinsel it will reflect in a beautiful way. Just a thought.
Julie would the wooden bead garland from HL look good on your tree? I’ve used the same ones for years and even use them on the fireplace during the year for garland and add wood cut outs seasonal (hearts,clover, Easter eggs & chicks …. The plaid blanket matches your stockings! Can’t wait to see your haul styled. FYI, Dollartree has the cedar tree placements, dishes, glassware , towels and dish drying mat that match your sheets. I’m thinking of getting a sheet or table cloth like yours with the trees to make curtains . I use clip rings on a large curtain rod for my sliding door in the den to pull the kitchen and den together. You have inspired me to get busy!
Love that Santa, I have an Idea, maybe you can intwine two of the bell garlands together and then try it on the tree 🌲. Maybe some bigger Christmas bulbs .😊I am going to buy some primitive material and make my bows for my tree.
Loved your Santa! We should never have to apologize for having Santa, Pumpkins, the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny etc. in our homes. Our world is bad enough as it is, children should have imaginative characters for as long as possible.

Absolutely must have a Santa with grandbabies!!!!You do beautiful work. Just have fun with it. Enjoyed your video!!!Your Santa is awesome!!!!!
Oh, my, your Santa! I love it!
Clusters of pine cones, berries, and cardinals added to your tree would be beautiful!
I love ,love the Santa bust. I always decorate with the vintage Santas but also make sure I have a Nativity to honor the true meaning.
Absolutely! I have a couple nativity’s myself.
Pine cones and baby's breath and red berries for your tree ❣️
Oh baby’s breath would be great! Thank you! 😊
Especially the dark red berries!❤

How about wrapping the bell garland around some Xmas ribbon that goes with your decor.
For an attention item on your tree you could scatter large flowers around the tree.
I love the Stockings for the Grandbabies Julie so sweet $8 a stocking is a fantastic deal so exciting getting ready for Christmas ❤
Thank you! 😊
What a cute idea with the stockings!
Thank you! 😊
Love the plaid blanket...so festive.

Jesus is the reason for the season.
I too have a lot of family to buy for, 9 grandchildren! Could you do a video on some suggestions and ideas for gifts?
Keep the blanket.
I did 😊!
On the stockings with the two B's maybe carry the jewel idea with their birth stone month color
Great idea! Thank you! 😊
I love everything you've got!! You've got a good eye for the primitive colors and styles! Why don't you use some of that beautiful material as a DIY Garland around your tree!

Peacock feather picks for the tree?

You can put some brown wax on Santa to darken the red. Not a lot, just a little!!!
Good idea! Thank you! 😊
❤
DKNY all day.
You should actually put some Rub n buff to those letters 👍🏼
