Winter Wonderland

Welcome to my home!  I hope you enjoy a tour of some of my Wintery Wonderland vignettes!
There is something magical about glistening snow and icicles!  God gives us awesome and glorious splendor to behold!
 
My favorite piece of all my trinkets is my gorgeous cake pedestal given to me on my last birthday!  I found it on a shopping trip at Home Goods with my daughter.  She knew I was in love with it and snatched it up for my birthday.  It rarely moves from the center of my dining table.  Here I have it displayed with a glittered snow house and ice garland with snowflakes.  I found this garden cloche that fits on my pedestal perfectly!

Love, Love, Love this pedestal and all the details!
Here is my dining room chandy.  It was an ugly builder brass chandelier, so of course I took it down, sprayed it white, and gave it prisms and crystal bead garland!  Such an improvement!  For my winter theme, I added these beautiful glass ornaments that remind me of icicles and some of my snowflakes.
 
I love how the chandy arrangement hangs down to the cloche! I will be sad to take it all down in a few weeks.
These yarn "snowballs" are something I just recently made.  I used styrofoam ball ornaments from the Dollar Tree and wrapped them up with soft, fuzzy baby blanket yarn to create these fun snowballs! I placed them in this pedestal bowl and tucked in a few snowflakes.  These were so easy, quick, and fun to make!
Here is my mantel decorated for winter.  I just love this burlap banner that I made.  When the candles are lit the glitter glistens and sparkles

The burlap is an off-white.  I prefer the lighter shade of burlap to the tan.  My winter garland hangs above the banner and of course I tucked in a few snowflakes!
My sofa table with my Hobby Lobby candleholders and a couple of my little birdies!

Also on the sofa table sits my favorite iron rooster decked in a winter garland and my yard sale find terrarium with a few snowy winter trees tucked inside.

This iron pedestal is one of my favorite pieces.  Sitting on top is a candle holder from Party Lite decked out with a winter garland.  I just realized that the little fuzzy looking ball in the bottom left of the picture is our Maltese, Summer!  Funny how she sneaks into the pictures sometimes!

On my fireplace sits another iron pedestal with some winter trees under a cloche and wreathed with an ice garland and some snowflakes.

On my front door I hung a winter swag with snowflakes and my Snow sign.  We don't get much snow here in Georgia so I love to surround myself with a wintery wonderland!

Hope you enjoyed a tour of my Winter Wonderland decor. Please come again and visit soon!
Blessings to you all!

You look like you're really enjoying your snow decorations. They are so pretty and glitzy making everything sparkle. I'm taking down anything regarding winter this week. It may be a little early, but I'm decorating for spring to help it along. It may not be here outside, but it will be inside. Newest follower.

I love all your displays and how you are embracing Winter. Your cake stand is just gorgeous and I love the cloche you added.

We forget, up here, that February 14 is right in the middle of winter, and that there's snow in most of the country.
What a pretty post!

Everything is so soft and elegant.
White was my theme for my Christmas table.
I would love to know where you got your dining table in your header.
