They give a soft pop of color in our mostly white dining room...
Speaking of romance...I couldn't help making Christmas ornaments to remind us of our trip to Paris this year, and of course they're grey and cream!
The Christmas crafting is in full force these days. Here's an easy idea - attach tinsel to a paper box to turn it into a Christmas drum. I found this cream fabric box for $1 at the thrift store, and simply hot-glued tinsel to it:
Keeping the grey and cream theme going...I glittered some chipboard stars with a creamy gold glitter and attached them to vintage seam binding I dyed grey. Love this Christmas garland look!
My recent Santos cage doll creation got a star garland, too:
Here's another easy Christmas craft idea. Tear about 16 pages from a vintage book (I used an old German book) and scroll each page for a book wreath. I attached my scrolls to a scrunched-up coffee filter on the back. After attaching a Dresden Santa image to the center, I'm now going to use this book wreath as a star on top one of my trees.
One last thing to share...a new listing in my Etsy shop for a grey linen stocking, embellished with vintage trim:
Happy crafting my friends!
I'll be sharing my grey and cream tresors over at Michelle's Grey Dey Thursdey, as well as these fun parties:
