I love your comments, thank you all.

How are you doing with the fuss and rush of

Christmas, well if you are like me, I'm Behind

with a capital B.

Oh well, I decided to enjoy the season and

decorate and do all the "Xmas" things that we

love anyway,

More goodness and inspirations:

Wrap presents with brown paper, I love it,

love these, simple and cute, CHEAP, newspaper, sheets.

also, use twine, music sheets cut outs, faux snow, and everything natural.

Do you have your wreaths up??  oops!!!

I have the tutorial for this one, I'll post it tomorow, its very very simple, just your Sunday paper and glue.  very very green!!!!!! don't you think????

I like this one, I have a huge old frame its a bit missing gesso but so chic, I'm thinking on
putting one of my wreaths inside the frame, what do you think gals????? shabby enough,eh he,

little boxwood, or pine wrapped around a small wreath with wire.  Very easy,
you can make them with an old hanger. I did one, and put them on your shelves.  So cute don't you think?????

This is almost my fireplace, I had tons of pinecones, and some BIG ones, so I just
place them on candlesticks, and on little pots on the simple mantle. I prefer rustic, and shabby, but this is just me. you like???????

How about the stockings????? great idea, just use your old patterns, so simple and elegant, my opinion????








Hope you are inspired, I am, ready to continue our simple decorations, more ideas and inspiration tomorow

Christmas everywhere!!!!! Great photography

Snow globes, by Anthropology, just so cute!!!! and unique.

Christmas is a paradise for a photographer. I'm not very good at taking pictures, it is a "work in progress".  Even thou, I own a lot of antique cameras, my dream is to get one of those "famous" great camera, maybe Santa is listening. For now my little inexpensive cannon will do.


I want to show you some impressive Christmas displays, one of my favorites is Anthropology, and
New York, Have fun,

I FOUND ONE CRATE JUST LIKE THIS ONE, CHECK THIS OUT

I had a lot of comments on this vignette, and yesterday I found a crate just like it, I'm making a vignette, and a its going in my living room corner.

picture without anything, I think is so gorgeous!!!!!

    
Look at the typography, its awsome  LOL I scored.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

Hello friends of Kate Creative Salvage:

FREE pine cones from the yard or the park,  a tomato form, attached the pine cones with hot glue, and wire. Simple and lovely

One can decorate a Christmas Tree in many many ways, some ideas for the simple ways, cheaper ways, for all of us who are in the
middle of a tough Christmas season.  Some of these trees are so cute and cost very little.  Hope it will inspire you:


More pine cones, just paint them with metallic  paints, gold and silver.  wrap a little wire, and they make lovely very green ornaments, 





Some of us like two trees, to keep traditions, (Source: Country Living)











A great idea for spaces without mantles, hang your stockings from
a piece of twine. Super green, and organic rustic look.











Make some tea stained tags, (You can get a pack at staples), stain them in a bowl of tea, for a few minutes to antique them)  Dry them, and attached family photos, and write a personal note.


Very organic, green, and, inexpensive. try this idea, it looks great.


I hope you enjoy these ideas, and get inspiration no matter what your budget this Christmas.


SALE in our ETSY shop, check it out, lots of inexpensive gifts for everyone in your list.


love you all
