A little more Christmas...

We went to another Christmas program last night that

sweet gd Annika was in. Thankfully this time she did not

stick out her tongue. lol. We stopped by their house

afterwards and spent some time our son and his family.

I threatened to hide that adorable little baby in my

leather briefcase and bring her on home with me,

but I would not have made it past the front door. lol.

A little candle glow to start out your week

I made these star ornaments last year and I still

love them. I embellished them with clear glass glitter

and they just sparkle and shine.

I found all three of these candleholders at the Goodwill last week. I love most anything mercury glass style so it didn't take me long to scoop up these two. {50 cents each and they are quite large}

Glittery wreath ornies that I found at Kohls.

This basket hangs on the inside of my kitchen door.

A glimpse of my bedroom...

Just perfect for *dreaming*.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. You do realize

that Christmas is Saturday right?? :) My how the time has

flown once again this year. I just can't figure out where it went!

Ivory Dreams ~

I am enamored with neutral colors lately. I love this candleholder ...I purchased it new at Home Goods several months ago. Love the vintage corsage also~

I stopped at a garage sale last weekend at 3 pm on a Saturday and could not believe this old lace was still there! I paid $2.00 for the whole lot. There are yards of it on two old cardboard pieces.

My dear friend and I went greenhouse hopping today and she brought me this ribbon. What a nice surprise! Three spools of it for a total of 30 yards!! I love it! Thank you pookie!

Part of the decor in my newly painted back porch/entry way~

I just noticed the tiny candle on that large candleholder. It was the only candle within reach at the time and I intended to change it for a larger one and forgot. Just imagine that it is larger and looks better ~ LOL

The lace in this photo hides our black washer hoses and red faucets ~

I am still working on finishing touches on the porch, but I love how it is coming along. Have a wonderful day.

Blessings~

Reflection ~

I have been very busy trying to get decorations ready for a bridal shower and also trying to redecorate my back porch/entry. Remember my post about "rearranging"? I repainted the little green cupboard on the wall in a cream color and that is what is reflected in this mirror. I was amazed at how many items I had in creams and whites. Just went through the house pulling things *off and out*. I must get busy again...just wanted to give you a glimpse of a beautiful reflection.

Blessings~

Guest Room ~

I thought I would share a few pictures from the bedroom upstairs that we now use for our guest room. It is constantly a work in progress, but it is coming along. Hubby thinks we should move our room up there and have the guest room downstairs. Still trying to decide for sure if that is what I want to do. There are pros and cons to doing that. CONS: It is all geared to the size beds that are in there now (two twin beds) and the *BLUE* decor. That means I would have to redecorate *EVERYTHING*...so probably not anytime soon. I would also like to eventually get just one larger bed for that room. PROS: It is a huge room compared to our bedroom and I love the wood floor...maybe someday~ This is a favorite large old basket that I love ...chippy blue paint and all ~ Here is that chandlier again that has never gotten put up. I am thinking of putting it on Craigs list because I don't think it ever will get up and now I am not so sure I want it in that room ~

One of the twin beds with an antique chenille spread on it that I adore ~

Shelf of *PRETTIES* ~

I hope you have a wonderful day! Blessings ~
