A Pottery Barn Christmas

I'm a fan of shopping locally.  Love the smaller stores and boutiques in our area. But I also love the bigger stores, that unfortunately, are not in our town.  Thank goodness for online shopping, right?  I mean, what did we ever do without the internet?  Y'all keep those online orders coming and keep my husband playing Santa "in a brown truck" this Christmas season. Having said all that - and my point was? - today I thought I would share some of my favorite Christmas picks from Pottery Barn.

//Silver Mercury Glass Trees// I have been in love with Mercury Glass for years! I use alot of it in our master bedroom because of the color scheme and lighting.  The glass goes well with our blue/gray walls and white bedding. For Christmas, I decorate with several shades of blue and silver, so these would look great sitting on top of our amoire.

//Holiday Cheer Appetizer Plates// These plates are perfect for a small Christmas gathering with friends!  Bring on the apps!!

//Metallic Dot Stockings// From a polka dot queen's perspective, I thought these stockings were quite festive!

//Bronze Word Stocking Holders// This style of lettering - I have no idea what it's called - is quite popular, especially with the lights. It reminds me of the old timey movie marquees.  Anyhoo, I think these would be perfect on a mantle for a family of three! And after all, my word of the year IS Joy!

//Glass Lobster Ornament// I realize this is a lobster, but it could nearly pass as a crawfish, which is a normal delicacy for us here in Louisiana and a perfect ornament for a Cajun friend!

//Rattan Sleigh// As soon as I saw this sleigh, I fell in love!  I could just see it beside a Christmas tree filled with lots of beautifully wrapped packages! It also looks great as shown here, maybe beside a front door to greet holiday guests.

//Painted Santa Claus Pillow Cover// One can never have too many pillows!  I love this painted version of St. Nick.

//Passport Ornament// Although we didn't need a passport earlier this year when we went to Hawaii, I liked the idea of being able to give this ornament to one of my favorite travelers!

//Tree Decanter// I don't have a decanter collection, but my SIL does!! She would love this!

I'm linking up with Lauren today from Talk of the Trains for Home For The Holidays linkup. Today's topic is 'gifts' and I hope my post has sparked some Christmas ideas for those that you love this holiday season!  Merry Christmas!

I'm also joining Dixie Delights & Blogmas Link Party!  Just a few hours late!
