the shop is all decorated for the holidays!!

i had so much fun decorating for christmas...for the first time in the new shop!! i wanted to do a rustic greenery bow...so i went out into the woods and cut a bunch of cedar branches, hauled it all back to the shop and made a beautiful bow for the windows! i found some old fashioned looking string lights and made some garlands out of an old book. i found an old tarnished silver tray and creamer cup....and i put some greens on it and a red ribbon for my entry 'wreath'...i love it!

so i was trying to figure out what to do with the windows...i didn't want a traditional tree in the front windows..so i decided to make these little boxes, paint different shades of greens on them and stack them in the shape of a tree...and put a few little trinkets inside them! i love how they turned out!

my mom made some arrangements in some cool rusty containers for the front of the shop...they turned out awesome!

and of course i had to 'decorate' the mannequin for the holidays!
