This is my grouping of mercury glass that I've collected over the past couple of years. I've displayed it on top of my china cabinet with some natural greenery and pine cones gathered from the garden.
I've added a few little floral picks with silver coloured beads just to pretty it up further!
This pretty silver 'heart' ornament hangs from my cabinet door.
The silver sparkles and glows in the light of the candles.
Thank you SO MUCH for your kind comments & prayers with respect to my Father. He has now been moved to a rehab wing in the hospital where he is starting to get some physiotherapy to assist him to walk again. The process is so slow due to his age and right now we're taking it day by day. I need to get back to work this week so I will be sure to visit each of you to see what exciting things have been going on during this festive season! I'm embarrassed to admit that I still have my tree in the basement set up, but undecorated! And who knows ... with the way things are going, it just may have to stay that way this year!
Cheers - Lisa

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that your father's recovery is under way! I've been thinking about you and your family and have really missed you!
I love your mercury glass display. I too have been collecting some pieces, old and new, over the last few years. I like to mix mine up with my silverplate stuff.
I know what you mean about your tree. We actually have a fake tree and the year we moved into Red Gate Farm it was on December 17th. Needless to say, we got the fake tree up but I never actually put any decorations on it! It was still a GREAT Christmas.

Hi Lisa~ So happy to hear your father is doing better-I have thought of you several times this past week and was happy to see you back in blog land this morning. I am quite a bit behind on my decorating as well...trying to catch up a bit the past few days. Take care of yourself too, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLisa, glad to hear your dad is doing better. So what if the tree stays undecorated. Your vignette is loads of Christmas, and certainly easier to take apart when it is over! Everything is lovely. I love the sparkle of the mercury glass paired with the naturals. The green looks so good with it. Wish I could smell it too!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back....
ReplyDeleteYou have an amazing collection of mercury glass. I have also loved that white cabinet since I saw it in the background of another one of your posts.
I'm sure you'll get to your tree, but if you don't, all of your other decor makes up for it.
Hope you had a blast on your family outing today....
Take care,
Lisa
Hi Lisa, Popping in to say Hi and catching up. Hoping the best for your dad...this just happened to my 81 year old aunt and she is doing great...hip replacement and all ! They say it is actually the opposite of what we think happens..the hip breaks and then they fall instead of the other way around. Merry Chritmas to you and a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't been over for a few days so I didn't know about your Dad. I'm so happy he made it through the surgery in good shape. Now to your cabinet, the mercury glass in splendid. What beautiful touches you added. Have a good week.

Hello Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI just popped over to let you know I was thinking of you and your Dad. I didn't expect to see a posting, but I am thrilled to read that your Dad is on the long road to recovery. Just take one day at a time.
Your shabby white china cabinet is gorgeous with the pine boughs, mercury glass and heart decoration. I, too, have just started decorating the house. No tree in site!! Yesterday, I stopped by our local country store to look at their trees, but they were all short. I need an 8 foot monster!!! I'll find one tomorrow, hopefully!!
I am sending continued healing prayers and warm wishes your way for you and your Dad.
Love and warm hugs, Laura
So sorry to read about your father. You are all in my prayers, Lisa. Your silver and evergreen decor is so beautiful...my favorite combo. Happy holidays to you all!

ReplyDeletei'm so happy to hear your father is doing better.
This is the most beautiful collection ever and I love, love, love how you displayed it!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteYour display of Mercery glass looks great as you have displayed it. Don't stress over the tree. Your house looks festive already.
I am glad to hear that your Dad has moved on to the next stage of his recovery. My neighbor had the same surgery and though she walks with a bit of a limp, she is doing great. Don't stress over the tree. Your house looks festive already.

I love the hanging heart!! Thank you for taking time to help me with my sewing machine question. I've been doing a lot of research and it's daunting how many different machines there are. Your home looks beautiful for the holidays. This weekend we'll do our tree and I'm so excited. I just love the fairy lights blinking at night. So serene. Hugs. Tammy
ReplyDeleteI will say a prayer for your father, and you as well! The past two Christmases.. our big tree did not see the light of day. This year it's finally up and decked out, and I am enjoying it so much. I'll say this, if you miss a year or two with a big tree, so what? You'll just appreciate it all the more next year! I adore all of your decor - the mercury glass is gorgeous! -Tammy
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining my little blog, it is always nice to meet new people. Well, the sewing is something I look forward too, perhaps it will be better this time. My dad also had a stroke, 5 years ago and last month, but he was 60 and now 65, so very young still, but recovering. Hope your dad is getter better every day.
Have a good weekend,
Maureen
I'm so glad to hear your Dad is doing better! Your vignette looks wonderful! I absolutely love mercury glass, too!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Janet
What a beautiful post, Lisa!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that your Dad is doing better! You know , I am a Rehab Nurse by profession and have worked in a Rehab unit for 29 years now.
Hugs,

Oh...I love all your silver and greens. I'm getting the itch to do green next year...crazy I know...but it looks so fresh with silver. I can just imagine you sipping hot chocolate while looking through my photos.
ReplyDeleteI was sipping mulled cider while viewing your's. Not really...but that is a good idea. I need to make some and sit down to look at everyone's holidays alas...I have to go out to two parties tonight....and it's sooo cold out!
Lisa: thank you for your kind words. I'm really liking the greens and silver. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAlso, so sorry to hear about your father but will pray he's in the best of care and for a quick recovery. That is difficult on a family during the holidays.
Best wishes always,
Natalie
