Silver Deer

 
Hello There!
 
Like many of you I've been having a delightful time digging through boxes - and boxes, of Christmas decorations.  Decorating for Christmas is so much fun isn't it.  This past Saturday I cranked up the holiday tunes and made a complete disaster of the house until the wee hours of the morning.  I worked happily, humming along until all my displays were arranged.
 
This week has flown by as I dug out my craft and sewing supplies.  I've made a happy mess of the house again working on ornaments and various crafty items I wanted to add to my displays.
 
I'll be showing them off in the coming weeks but today I wanted to share one of my first quick projects.
 
You all know my fascination with Glitter Houses this time of year, but can you guess my second obsession?
 
It's Reindeer.
 
It started years ago with a simple hand-me-down treasure from my mom.  The fascination has grown yearly.
 
 
So much so that I'm looking for reindeer in the thrift shops all year long.  Like these two example I picked up in July.  They were perfectly wonderful, but I'm not really in to the whole brassy thing.

 
A quick coat of white paint and sprinkling of silver glitter makes them fit right in with the whole winter wonderland / red and white theme I have going on this year.


Much better and so much more adorable - -  don't you think?
 

 
Talk to you soon,
 
Robin

  1. Robin,
    Your glitter reindeer are so cute. I am just like you with the glitter. If it does not glitter its not Christmas. I also use a lot of beading.
    I purchased a little paper mache reindeer at a yard sale this year. I used Martha Stewart copper colored glitter to make it sparkle. I always look for reindeer when I am thrifting as well.
    I hope to do a tour of my home this weekend for my blogging friends.
