I found this Mary at a grocery store floral department and it inspired me to create this Jean d'Arc style Christmas vignette. A little Christmas in July, it was only 106 here this weekend!
I found these great pale aqua shutters at an estate sale.
The shutters were the perfect place to show off some vintage Christmas postcards.
I have always loved this postcard. It looks very much like fall but it is a Christmas postcard.
Any inspirations going through your head for Christmas?
And for those of us still enjoying our summer, here is the summer look for the before.

Sherry,I thought Australia got hot,but 106,that is very hot.Skin sizzling.
I think your Mary statue looks amazing with your shutters. xx
What a lovely vignette!
Your Christmas in July vignette is lovely! Thanks for sharing!
Very pretty :)

A Mary and Christmas postcards-simply wonderful. Please do locate some snow too:}
Goodness Sherry -- I almost didn't click on this because I do NOT look forward to autumn and then winter BUT . . this is lovely :)
Merci pour ce joli partage en nous montrant ces merveilleuses cartes de noël...
Gros bisous.
Perfect. Now just think how far ahead you are on the Christmas decorating. It is so pretty though that I know you will create something beautiful. You are always changing things up just like me.
Lovely pictures!!!
I'm glad to see your reference to Christmas :^), so that I know I am not the only one thinking ahead. I found 4 "Victoria" Christmas edition hard backs, for 50 cents each the other day at a sale, so I have been "peeking and dreaming" already :^)
Lovely, but gosh I have a hard enough time getting done for Christmas in December,and now you have it all done for July. You must be a very organized person? It does look very pretty. So glad you shared your creative inspiration with Sunday's Best!
It is simply beautiful! Love those mercury glass votive holders! Thanks so much for sharing at the Christmas in July party! Hugs...Debbie
