My favorite décor for Christmas is Victorian. It is romantic and oh so excessive!
So in true Victorian style, that means I can keep buying ornaments and just pile on more and more. Don’t you just love Christmas!
This is my idea of a “Victorian dream catcher”. The wonderful Rosemary at Ozma of Odds inspired me. She makes the most incredible creations! I hope I did you proud, Rosemary.
I think I’ll sew on some more pearls and be on the lookout for more butterflies. After all, it is a “Victorian” dream catcher, right?
Hugs & Happiness,
Patti

gorgeous tree!!
It is a gorgeous dream catcher Patti. Rosemary will be so proud.
I love a Victorian Christmas too. Oh I had so many trees decorated to the gills. In the last few years things have become a little simpler around here, but I still buy the Victorian decorating magazines to get my fix.
hugs from here...
Hi Pattie, your dreamcatcher is really just beautiful. Love that oval frame you layered, and butterflies make it so sweet! just linked up, xo

Hi Patti...
Oooh...your Victorian Christmas tree is FABULOUS, my friend! I just giggled as I read about Victorian being excessive and excuse to keep finding pretty ornaments! Sounds like a great plan to me! Hehe! I also enjoyed your Victorian dream catcher. This is the first time that I've seen one. It's beautiful and full of whimsy! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Christmas with us!

Thank you for featuring this picture! You are just the sweetest. SO YOU TOO ARE A TEACHER???? Our last day is next Wednesday and let me tell you, I am excited!

I'm nuts about your Victorian Christmas tree. That's just beautiful. I also like that dream catcher. Now, I'm going to have to google that to see what it is.
Good morning darling Patti!!!!
Oh dearest, all is well. But yesterday, my blog had some problems due to either hacking or a strange virus suspiciously embedded into a gadget. For hours, I was getting sweet emails from friends who were telling me they could not enter my site because they kept getting diverted to a strange site! But it was a relief to find the problem and dispose of the gadget. I am wishing YOU and your lovely daughter and family the BEST OF CHRISTMASES...it has been a blessing to come to know you sweet one. MANY THANKS for this lovely post. I am putting you on my blog roll....it is hard to keep up with everyone, but you are so special and your posts are sooooooo beautiful! BISOUS! Anita
Oh thank you for reminding me! I've been so busy this past week (like everyone else) and I forgot. I'm hooked up now!
Have a lovely Sunday,
Shelia ;)
Merry Christmas, sweet friends!!! And thank you so much for posting my button on your blog--I appreciate it soooo much!!!

I'm sooo late! I was a week away helping my daughter move and she didn't have her internet yet and no time either, so that's why I'm late, but this weekend I'll be on time sweet ladies from Ivory and Elephants. I love what you did inspiring on my talented friend Rosemary and the features are great too. Merry Christmas lovely ladies and many Bblessings too.
