My sister is an early-bird and her house is already decorated for Christmas. I showed you her house last year and she has added a few more trees this year, so I’ll share those too. We had a fun time browsing some of the antiques spots in Marietta, as I caught up with my family last weekend.
I captured some of the fun Christmas inspirations there, so come along with us. I have GOT to get busy on my own Christmas decor. We stopped by a couple of antique stores in Woodstock, corner of Hwy. 92 and Canton Hwy. for you locals who are interested and also The Classy Flea and another big mall in Marietta next to Value Village. There are plenty of places to browse in my hometown. 
Love this beautiful cupboard. If I had about $2 grand to spend, I could really fall for this. 
Lots of wreaths and ornaments all around the store. They are ready for Christmas.
Simple and elegant mantel.
A Christmas tree all decked out.
Another one with fun colors.
Don’t we all love the simpleness of a cloche with glass balls, ribbon and greenery. So simple, yet effective.
Pinecones and berries.
Wreath on a mirror.
I’ve never seen this idea. Large Christmas bulbs piled into a clear glass lantern with candle.
A stack of plates with Christmas balls on top.
Christmas bells.
Pretty baubles everywhere.
Love the pink and silver.
Saw a few neat pieces along the way too, like this old typeset cabinet. It had all these little cubbyholes inside the drawers. Very cool piece!
These blue and purple balls caught my eye.
Another simple mantel idea.
I spotted this antler and decided I had to bring it home. Only $9.
More pretty and colorful balls.
Loved this white wreath with lime green accents. Love!
A whole booth of lime green and red ornaments and accessories.
Pretty wreath and notice the tree in the reflection.
Such a pretty stool all painted up white with burlap cushion.
Now these are a simple and pretty little craft you could do. Felt trees with button ornaments. Cute!
So, after a few stops, we headed to my sister’s house where she has some new trees.
This one is multi-colored, very fun and festive.
In the diningroom, a new tabletop tree in animal print.
So unique and gorgeous. My sister LOVES Christmas, you might remember that from last year.
Dining room table and the Christmas village in her hutch. 
Kitchen bakers rack with some lighted houses and people. So cute!
In the guest room is an aqua blue and chocolate/bronze tree. So pretty. 
Lots of elegant details on this tree.
Gorgeous!
The living room tree is all white.
And so pretty too. Yep, my sis gets in Christmas spirit every year by decking her halls to the max.
Are you getting ready for Christmas?? I have a long ways to go, but I’ll be putting a little Merry and Bright around our house too. Don’t forget, the Christmas linky party starts next week, with Layla’s mantel party on November 30 and my vignette party will be December 2. Next week will be a lot of fun!
So, get your Holiday cheer on and join us for the parties!
I visit those antique malls you mentioned once in awhile. I live in Ga also. Wonderful decorations and your sisters trees are amazing! Wow! Thanks for the inspiration.
I love looking through antique malls, but unfortunately, I don’t get to do it very often.
Your sister’s trees/decorations are absolutely breathtaking! It must take her weeks to get everything put up.
What beautiful trees!!!! I better get off this comupter and get all of mine done:) That cute little felt tree with the buttons is so simple and I’m lovin’ it!
Blessings,
Linda
Holy Christmas! I can not believe your sister has it all done already and al that she did!!! Live the bronze and aqua tree….so pretty! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
I truly love the animal tree – inspiration for next year…
Rhoda, those are some of my regular stops too. Didn’t know you had family in Marietta! I have loved reading your blog for some time. Today’s blog is definitely getting me in the Christmas decorating spirit. Today all the fall and autumn decor came down. Libby
I love the white christmas wreath and the ornaments under the glass cloche. Isn’t it fun to go antiquing during the holidays?? Everything is always so “christmas’d up”! Great photos!

This is one of the most festive antique malls I have ever seen!! Love everything, especially the lime green colors mixed with red that is so popular now! And your sister’s home is just stunning…she must have a lot of energy to create this beautiful wonderland.
Looking forward to seeing your home all decked out, Rhoda!
XO,

I’m so excited for the linky parties! We’re breaking out our tree and decorations today to get started on. I look at your sisters decorating and reflect on how long it takes me just to do ONE tree and the room it takes to store the few things I have. Does she have an extra house just to store it all in? LOL It’s beautiful and what fun all the different themes are! My heart did a little pitter patter at the lime green and red booth at the antique mall, those are the colors I use!
Your sister does such a fabulous job, Rhoda! I can’t get over her hutch! I have been thinking of getting the little houses this year and taking over our pool table like we’ve done in the past. I think since it was something my husband always enjoyed {we haven’t done it though the past 5 years}, I may just surprise him and set it up. Thanks for the inspiration and eye candy!
Wow! Love the antique mall, and your sister is talented! Off to check her decorating from last year!
OMgoodness I think I just was shown the real Mrs. Claus’s home!! That is amazing Rhoda, she must be a dynamo like you in order to get all of that done this early!!! What a fun day you had. I have Christmas music on and Grandkids running around making snowflakes and Santa pictures. A little hallway football is going on too. Monday is the day I hope to start decorating, I can not wait!!!

Thanks for all the inspiration. Love those trees!
Hi. Wow, is your sister’s house decorated! I love her trees — every one of them! What a lot of work. I’m also in love with the first few mirrors in the pictures of the Antique mall. You’re so fortunate to have that kind of shopping near you. You’ve got me in the mood to do my tree tonight!
Everything is so pretty. I *love* the mirror in the first photo. And wow! Your sis really does go all out. 😉 I love the bright colors tree. Very different and pretty.
I love your pictures of Woodstock….I knew it was Woodstock when I saw the very first picture since I consign with them! I also did a post about Woodstock but yours was much more detailed. I just love their store and they did really great at their Christmas Open House last weekend.
I am amazed at your Sister’s house – she truly has a gift for decorating for Christmas!
Thanks for consigning and shopping at the Woodstock Market. These designs were fun and of my own creation as I have been the decorator for the store for three years. I had no idea Rhoda had featured the store. Thanks so much!
Love your ideas! hope you had a great holiday and to see you soon!
I remember your sister’s beautiful home from last year’s posts. She does an amazing job decorating for Christmas. She’d be a natural at window displays in Manhattan! Too bad all those beautiful antique shops are so far away. Thank you for the inspiration.
Your Friend,
Deborah
you sisters! so talented! Love the different trees, I don’t have the energy any more….
