ChRiStMaS Has Arrived!

It seems that the holidays are almost here and I am still running to catch up. I have most of my decorating done...so I'm sharing the five pictures which my iPad allows me to post. The first picture is of my mantle with two new lamps purchased at a great (low) price from Hobby Lobby. I added my small crystal snowflakes to the bottom of the one lampshade. I love how the light plays with the crystals. Next picture is of my new tree topper angel. I have searched for her for many years. My Toy Shoppe was 'established' in 1993 ~how the years fly by! I made it in a cheese crate. If you enlarge the picture, you will see a Santa peeping out the bay window. I have many special glass blown ornaments hanging on a metal branch next to the sliders in the dining room. The last picture is of my newest Wee Forest Folk mouse. Couldn't resist! HaPpY HoLiDaYs! I am linking to The Cottage Market http://www.thecottagemarket.com/2012/12/junkin-joe-vintage-and-thrifty-finds.html

  2. Even a little mouse is weighty when holding a star at the very tip top of the tree!

  4. I just found you through Betsy Speert's blog. Re. your comment: Your home is beautiful! Your "stuff" is lovely and it shows your big heart and kind spirit. Don't let others' comments bring you down. Tell her to browse through a few decorating books (any by Charles Faudree, for example) and she will learn a thing or two.
