The holidays are a special time of the year. A couple of weeks ago, we joined the ladies from Smitten and did a group show at the Plano Junior League's Neath the Wreath holiday show. Our "white" booth stood out from the rest, filled with old and new, it was magical!
I love this old white toy truck carrying home it's new pearly Christmas trees!
The center of our space was filled with Christmas decor, stockings made from vintage fabrics hung from the mantle while ornaments and garlands added sparkle.
This wire tree was adorned with vintage ornaments and stood in a fabulous old cast iron stand.
This tree was made from 600 stems of dried and preserved hydrangeas!! It added a natural warmth to our cool white space and was topped by a very special handmade crown, in honor of our friend.
Details of zinc and tones of silver and gray helped create our Winter Wonderland. The antique winter scene oil painting was a perfect background.
Luann's hand made jeweled bottles are the perfect one-of-a-kind gift. They sparkled throughout our space.
These candles were made just for Patina Green by a local company. The scented wax was poured into vintage snuff jars, as a reminder of our past and a great way to reuse the old.
This year we were inspired by a French Patisserie. We brought in the most gorgeous glass and nickle plated tiered stands, hand etched glass domes over nickle plated adjustable cake stands. French menus were displayed in beautiful picture frames and chalkboard holders announced the special of the day.
Our Patisserie . . .
We replaced cupcakes with gorgeous vintage ornaments in silver liners. A perfect way to showcase the jewels and memories from our past.
i simply don't have enough superlatives to describe what i see here!!! this is incredibly beautiful...the hydrangea tree, all the white beauty (love that little white truck)...the gorgeous ornaments...i would be thrilled to just once see a show like this in person:) so completely fabulous.

Oh my! Everything is so delicious! I enjoyed meeting you at Smitten with my friend Kimla. We had such a great time shopping! I am still kicking myself that I didn't snatch up that little white truck, I was sure it was for display! Love your style and your blog!
