Winterlicious Glass Bubbles

Volleyball got canceled this morning so I'm catching up on some blogging time.  It rained all day here yesterday so I finished up some projects and caught up on my taped shows.   
Most rooms in my house are getting a little Winterlicious makeover.


The mantel is complete. 
I made the stockings yesterday, but haven't had a chance to take pictures yet.   
To see how I did the mantel go here.


To further bring in some winter sparkle,
I moved my glass bubbles from outside to in and gave them a seasonal sprucing up.


I emptied out the sand, succulents, shells, and tillandsias and hung them on the curly willow branches next to my vertical pallet garden and my metal hanging basket light.  So far the experimental vertical garden is doing awesome and it's growing.  I added some Christmas balls to the light for some Holiday bling.


I filled the glass balls with faux snow, faux greenery, and a Christmas ornament. 
Gold birds, a snowman, and a Christmas tree. This was a free makeover, I used what I had.




The bubbles make me feel like it's winter here in San Diego, 
Sometimes it even looks like it's snowing inside.
Stay warm birdie.


I don't really use too many snowmen in my Christmas decor, but I like him contained in the bubble.

I tend to put things in glass containers and change them out for the season.
Here's one of my giant Winterlicious snow globes. 
To see more of my snow globes go here.


These glass containers sit on my kitchen counter.


More glass on my island. 
We don't get much snow in San Diego so I have to pretend with my vignettes. 
The glass contains the snow so we don't end up with "snow drifts" all over the house.


Still need to work on my picture taking and getting rid of the glare off the glass. 




Hope your Holidays are warm and cozy even though it's snowing at my house.

Spring Decor


I pulled out the Spring decorations right after St. Patrick's Day.
I fill my cloches with moss, bird's nest, blue eggs, mini orchids, butterflies, and small green plants to welcome spring. 






Many of my decorations for spring are recycled from my Thanksgiving Tree.


I have white Hyacinth bulbs in mini iron urns. 


I bought 6 of these these mini iron urns at Michael's years ago. 
I painted them white and I use them all the time for different seasons and table scapes.  Here they are at Halloween.



I use my cloches for all different seasons too.

A little green brings the outdoors in.


Here are my Shish Kabob Bunnies leaping over tall grass.
 I got the bunnies last year at Pier One. 



They still have them this year and they are under $3 a piece.




Don't worry Rosie, we won't Shish Kabob you.




Can you tell what's real and what's not? 


Not sure how you feel about silk verses real, I use both and mix them together.


Faux cabbage



I wish I had real chicks. 
I would love to raise some chickens, but our homeowner association wouldn't go for it.


No, I didn't trap a butterfly or raid any bird's nests, both fake.


Another Pier One purchase from last year.
 It was an ugly red, but it was on clearance, so I bought it and painted it white. 


How do you bring the Spring in?

Thanks for checking it out.

Happy Spring!
