How To Display Your Lovely Christmas Photo Cards

Don't you just loooove the adorable photo Christmas cards that everyone sends nowadays?

Used to be we'd get only a couple each year,

but now almost all of the cards we receive are photo cards.

I am incapable of throwing away a card if it is a photo.

I have a gajillion that I've been saving for years, but it seems kind of a waste to just throw them in a box and then never look at them again!

What to do, what to do?

Burlap, White, Silver and Gold Christmas Crafts!

My first Christmas post....

in mid-January.

I know.....

I. Am. Never. On. Time!

I've been shifting towards the naturals/neutrals/metallics and loving it!

{the sparkly fabric and the string of bells are from Dollar Tree!}

Cotton Pickin Wreath with a Burlap Bow

I've been wanting to make a cotton wreath for a while now.....

Inspired by....

the cotton from our farm!

{we have an abundance of it at the end of the year}

Yup, that's right, my big boys and I hand-picked our own cotton! 

Holy Sweet Mother of Salvage!

I am slowly discovering that Phoenix has a treasure trove of vintage and antique shops.

Seriously.......it has changed my life!

My life has become about 'The Hunt'.

Hunting for that perfect piece of junk.

{Remember my hunt for the perfect wooden box?}

There's a place in town called Sweet Salvage that is only open 4 days a month.

I just couldn't understand that.

Four days?

Why would a store only be open for four days???

I've been getting their newsletters for the past few months, but never got around to going

{family in town, holidays, illness, etc}

but this month I gathered a few of my awesome junking friends and we went to check it out.

We brought a truck.....you know.....just in case.

DUUUUUDE!
