Holidays, Coastal Christmas

Welcome to day 4 of the Celebrate and Decorate Holiday Home Hop!

It brings me great JOY to have you here!

 

 

We don’t spend much time at our coastal home during the holidays

 

 

 

But we love to decorate and enjoy the holiday decor over New Year’s and into January

 

 

 

I made this tabletop tree years ago, it sports an aqua feather boa, and bright beachy ornaments

It stays decorated and quickly stores away on a shelf in the closet

Set in a boxwood wreath it is surrounded by gifts, vintage VW buses, & a surfin’ Santa

 

 

 

Right before Christmas last year, I found a 5′ tree on super sale at Target

I planned on making and shopping for decorations throughout the year…

 

 

All of a sudden it was mid November…😱

Hobby Lobby to the rescue!

 

 

 

Starfish ornaments, fish, and mermaids,

 

 

 

Seaglass floats, a garland of starfish and one of pearls,

I found a treasure trove of coastal things, at bargain prices

 

 

 

 

 

The tree is silver and came with white lights

 

 

 

It fits perfectly between the glass doors to the porch

 

 

So it’s always in our view

 

 

I know the mad trend is pick up trucks with Christmas trees

but this Santa in the convertible Cadillac stole my heart

{by the way, he’s listening to Elvis crooning “Blue Christmas” on the radio}

 

 

This seafoam green soft ruffled fabric does double duty covering the tree base and the small table it sits on

 

 

 

Looking in, looking out, the reflections of the sky…

it’s so pretty at night!

 

 

The best part about a pencil tree is that it fits just about anywhere and

doesn’t need boxes of decorations to fill up the branches

 

 

The Holiday Pineapple pillow matches the pineapple painting on the wall peeking out behind the tree

it’s paired with a Pink Poinsettia pillow

See all Holiday Pillows available here

 

 

Across the room the table is set for Santa and me

 

 

 

Jolly plates from Mud Pie, Christmas napkins and painted glasses

 

 

The kitchen island is set with an arrangement of seasonal plates and flatware ready for grabbing

 

 

 

Practical, functional decorating, plus a wonderful way to enjoy your pretties!

 

 

 

 

This nativity came from a local gift shop several years ago and it’s one of my very favorite things

 

 

 

These beachy Santas have been gifted over the years

 

 

 

 

Isn’t one of the best part of the holidays the memories recalled as you unpack the decorations?

 

 

 

Happy Holidays!
