Can you believe we are into December now? Time sure flies! For the month of December, I want to challenge you all to month of Thrifty Thursday Christmas themed ideas. If you draw a blank, join in with what you have....but I know you are up for the challenge!
My Thrifty Thursday today is another Pottery Barn inspiration. In the latest Pottery Barn catalog, I spied this gorgeous glass canister vase:


Gorgeous!
But when I spied the price....It was not in my budget or reason to pay that price for a glass vase.



I was actually in one of my favorite antique stores, Consigning Interiors in Pelham to pay a visit to my all time favorite booth, Elizabeth Ann's (it's directly in the center back of the store, from the register). I had been looking for some metal letters for my stockings....but that's another story for later. Anyway, Elizabeth Ann had sent me an email letting me know that she had the letters I needed. Well guess what...the delightful and extremely talented Elizabeth Ann was in the store! I finally got to meet her. I was thrilled. I just want to be as creative as her! She is just a doll, even more adorable in person. And she had my letters.

And I also spied something in her booth I had to have.





A canister vase, almost identical to the large one in the Pottery Barn magazine.
I snatched it up, took it home and have been playing with it all day, putting different treasures inside.
A bird and a feathered white owl....

Glass ball ornaments:



And I am still trying to decide what I want to feature.

And Elizabeth Ann, as sweet as she is also had a treat of goodies waiting for me....


I love the "B'"'s...I have the hardest time finding B's. Everyone must be a "B".

And the little flashcard, it's French?english flash cards...it means, "Surprise". Adorable!

Thanks Elizabeth Ann, for the generous goodies...and the enjoyable conversation!

And I am thrilled about the glass vase! Love it!
And now for my tablescape, This is one from one of my favorite stores....At Home in Homewood:
