Coca Cola Christmas

 Good afternoon, y'all . I am in the mood for an big iced cold glass of Coca Cola! I am a soda nut, but alas , I have not had cola in months. Boo Hoo!   So for now I will just enjoy a "Coca Cola Christmas " in my small foyer. 

 Yep, I decorated the small hall with the few Coca Cola items that I have.  The little tree is surrounded with crocks, tins and a carton of Cokes. 

The tree was simply decorated with candy garlands. The tree is topped with a Hands on Design and Priscilla Blain piece called "Chalk Full - Merry". 

There  is a mod podge of items on the old shelf. 

Including a wee white tree with a few Cola ornaments.  Not many Cola ornaments are there?😏 Oh  well, I will slowly acquire more. 

Old tins, bottles, salt and pepper shakers and one stitch are as snug as a bug in a rug in the Cola crate. Always Believe was a freebie I shared a couple of years ago. 

Pottery, Dollar Tree plates, Coca Cola postcards and tins fill the 2nd shelf.

Mistletoe Kisses was a freebie ,but for the life of me I can not remember the designer. Do you know? 

The bottom shelf is filled with just a few pieces of Watts pottery, an old door knob and a few treasures.  You may find a few dust bunnies too, but just ignore them. 😀👯👯👯

 Quilts, quilts, and more quilts. ! Can I squeeze one more quilt  in ?  Hee! Hee!  My favorite place to decorate is the thrifted shutters where I hang seasonal quilts. 

Front and center is  "Father Christmas " from the book Fast, Fun , Fabulous Quilts.

If you come to my house , you will find that every door is adorned with a quilt, wreath or some decoration. Come Christmas time, I decorate many of the doors with old red long johns and my girls' childhood Christmas dresses and gowns. They bring back fond memories. 🤗

Hanging among the dresses and gowns is With Thy Needle and Thread's  "Snow For Christmas". 

The bathroom door holds more long johns and dresses along with With Thy Needle and Thread's freebie called "Merry and Minty. This was a SAL with Brenda in 2020 . It is still available on her Facebook. 

Oh, I have never shown you any of my bathrooms. Let's go into this one. 

OOOPS! Excuse me, Santa . I did not realize this one was occupied. HEE! HEE! .  I bought this Santa at the thrift store and placed the fella here until I put him on the patio. Isn't he a hoot? 

The pink bathroom  is rarely used . I did not decorate it this year for Christmas except for Santa's short visit. LOL. 

These are a few of my vintage embroideries and crocheted laces displayed in the bathroom. I did put up one framed Christmas card and a small tree- so I was wrong there was a little Christmas in here.

Alrighty, y'all that's my foyer in a nutshell. Or should I say in a cola crate? Hee! Hee! 

 I will keep my eyes peeled for Coca Cola ornaments throughout the year. 

A darling 1990's stitch that I purchased years ago at the thrift store.
