I know that CIJ is over but saw this and had to share

This is the 'new' Christmas look I want to do more of in my home!

That is lovely! My decorating is somewhat similar--I try to go for classic and classy. I'm now pondering whether I could achieve a similar effect with my old clarinet... Smiley Wink

I really like that "look". And yes @loriqvc, I bet you could achieve the same look.

That's charming, @Mominohio

As if someone from a band of carolers was getting ready to go out, or maybe had just come home from singing and playing and had left his accessories behind while enjoying some hot cocoa in the warm kitchen.

 

I wonder if bands of carolers are out there much anymore?  I think I may have had one in my old neighborhood about 40 years ago.  Today they seem to be more in malls or other retail areas.

@Mominohio, thanks for the picture.  It is easily achievable for me since I already have the chairs and can pick up accessories at the flea market.  Great idea as part of holiday decorating.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

OMG I never thought about that. My son still has his clarinet, I know we could come up with something great. I'm going to ponder on it!

I just love this, not all glitz and glamor. For Christmas I prefer to decorate in a more woodsy theme with plaid ribbons and old fashion type decor and candles.

I'd love to have a rustic looking violin/fiddle. I wonder if Valerie could bring such a thing at a decent price. Have no idea what a not so good one would cost from an antique store.
