It’s Christmas!

I really don’t like to decorate and I only have a few Santa’s…and stockings…and Nativity sets…and cookie cutters. Who am I kidding?Christmas is happening here. I don’t remember being completely done so early before. A quiet Thanksgiving at home did give us time to drag out boxes and bins. It’s nice to have everything so settled. Time to break out the eggnog and Christmas movies! Are you almost done as well or still in progress? I hope the season brings everyone glad tidings of comfort and joy!

The living room all dressed up for the holiday
Angel choirs and really old glass ornaments.
A roaring fire with mercury trees, stockings and Santas
I love my unique Santas. They all have a story to tell
A lovely start to the holiday season

In between

Thanksgiving will look a little different this year. No big family gatherings, no turkey ready to be carved, no frantic in store shopping. But we will have a delicious dinner prepared by a favorite restaurant, a pie from Dangerously Delicious Pie company (they ship) and cozy shopping in front of the fire on a comfy couch.

The increased time at home will help us get a jump on holiday decorations and a bit of organizing of the fall treasures. It is a great time to show off some of our newest old things. Not even a pandemic can not separate me from antique shopping!

A few more antique Thanksgiving postcards
Biscuit tins are great for storage
This beauty was ready for the trash…all it needs is a little love.
My Hero turned this chicken crate into a coffee table!
We all need a little early Christmas cheer!

Crazy About Quilts

OK, I am ready to admit it. I have a problem with a certain soft item…

image

I must have them all over the house…

image

Yes! I am crazy about quilts. There is something about them…all of them…pristine ones from a long stored hope chest…

image

Well loved ones that have kept babies warm and served as forts for active little boys for generations…

image

But I ask you, who could resist the colorful charm…or the ability to literally touch the past?

image

Perhaps you can even touch generations back on your own family tree…

image

A treasured past to pass down to our future…

Let’s Party…
