With the new black console table in place this year, I decided to move the tree across the room instead of here in the middle. And with my new love of mercury glass, it was a perfect spot to showcase my ornaments collected in the after-Christmas sales last year, along with a few silver pieces.
My rusty iron yardsale urn makes a perfect container for ornaments, pinecones and acorns. I love the mix of natural and shiny silver, what a pleasant play off each other. Again, I snipped a few real greens to add in there too.
Last year I spray painted some walnuts and acorns silver and gold and it’s fun to use them in different spots. I simply pulled all my silver toned items together on this table only.
The mercury glass trees were found after Christmas last year at Kohls. I did those glittered pinecones last year too. I have really fallen in love with mercury glass.
The silver candelabra was also a yardsale find from last year.
And this pretty silver stand was found at a yardsale for 25 cents. The silvery leaves were from Kohls too. Oh, and I even found this pretty linen and velvet runner at a yardsale some time ago.
Spray painted nuts and acorns, as well as grapevine balls.
This table just glows! Come back on Saturday and I’ll show you a quick and easy way to do a natural mailbox swag using fresh cut greens and things from around your yard. A ten minute project! Don’t forget to come back on Monday and post your Christmas home tour on Mr. Linky! Let’s have a party!
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!

Oh, I just LOVE mercury glass. Your silver is gorgeous! I only have 3 pieces of it, but they make me really happy. I’d like to collect more in years to come.
Love all the texture in this and subtle illusions to Christmas. It’s beautiful, but everything always is in your home!!!

Oh my goodness, Rhoda! I’ve just looked through your last few posts and your home looks absolutely AMAZING again!! Not that I expected anything less, of course, but WOW!
Rhoda, this is one reason we love you so! You can take all these objects that are beautiful individually, but when you display them they become even more specatacular!
Absolutely love the silver vignette.
The silver and mercury is beautiful! What a great find for 25 cents! Very lovely!
Rhoda, It is gorgeous! I too collect mercury glass. I found some pretty pieces at Hobby Lobby this week for half off! You might want to check it out!
Wow, that silver stand you got for 25 cents is INCREDIBLE! I also love your mix of textures. I’m going to have to work on that.
Lovely arrangement with a classic and inviting look. Mercury glass, eh? Hmmm … might be a new ‘interest’ for me! Merry Christmas!
I am drooling…In a good way. I love all things silver, especially mercury glass!! Love these pictures. Ahhhh….
