Christmas in July Backstage Pass

by - edited

Recently I had the pleasure of showing my Facebook friends an exclusive sneak peek of my favorite Christmas in July items from the collection of my dear friend, Valerie Parr Hill!

Below you will find a series of pictures of items from our Live Stream together!

The first are from a beautiful blue and silver Christmas layout, appropriate for any tabletop, mantle, etc.

This set of two Mercury Glass Trees fits into any holiday decor set, and are available in many different colors! Here they are propped on our beautiful set of two Candle Holder Pedestals, which as you can see can be used for more than just candles!

Next I wanted to show you these amazing Frosted Finials, available in a set of three

(they even light up!)

I can tell you this; the Finials look gorgeous whether they are illuminated or not!

The next items come from a wonderful red and silver Christmas layout, which looks like it came right out of Bing Crosby’s White Christmas and I love it!

Here is Valerie's exclusive Vintage Glass Hurricane, complete with a festive floral ring at the base.

These illuminated glistening wax trees can spice up any side table or shelf and provide a calm low-light setting.

Next we have the Sequined and Glittered Icicle trees which we showed in the silver version. The good thing about colors like gold and silver is that they can go with almost any decor theme!

Here is an absolutely stunning item that can serve as the perfect holiday centerpiece; Valerie's Illuminated Holiday Scenes under glass.

If you already have your centerpiece, the Illuminated Holiday Scenes look great when placed on a decorated mantle.

As Valerie and I discussed some of the items, we had a chance to answer some questions from fans on my Facebook page. One viewer asked about Valerie's inspiration for her collections, which she attributed to holiday traditions back in her childhood years, and also from nature (She also said I inspire her and that she thinks of me every time she sees a Cardinal, which holds a special place in my heart for my mom).

With that said, Valerie unveiled to me what became my favorite piece in her collection, the fresh balsalm holiday wreath. This one pictured below even includes two lovely Cardinals on the front!

The fresh balsam wreaths make a wonderful decoration for any doorway, wall, mantle, or any place you think needs a little freshening up!

Thanks for reading all about my Christmas in July sneak peek! If you want to see the video of Valerie and I going behind the scenes, you can watch it below:
