Christmas time is here again...

Quite a busy day yesterday...

went to church in the AM and as we were driving home

hubby said,

"Something is in my eye"...

We came home, grabbed a bite to eat and then I had

to leave again about 2:30 to go back to church and

decorate for a ladies tea and then stay for the tea as well.

I opted for *simple* this year. {Truthfully I forgot I was supposed to decorate until

two days before the event}

I photocopied vintage carols, added fake pine, snowflake

punch outs and candles. It did look very pretty.

A little decor around the house...

This little guy is mine from when I was very young. One year my daughter tore off the arms and legs and I had to glue them back on.

vintage silver ornies

Found this little guy for a song one year

I am not even going to tell you what I paid for *eight* of these vintage putz houses in wonderful condition because I know you would just sit down and cry. I found them last week at the antique mall where I have my booth.

They are all stamped *Japan* on the bottom. I have several more that I have collected over the years also and I have not even had time to get them out yet.

I pull out my vintage pinecones every year and

they are a favorite in my decorations.

I have loads of vintage sugar bells...so many that I

didn't even use them all this year.

Oh look...another birdie popped up.

One of the Christmas cards I am sending out this year.

I also have a lot of vintage silver ornies that I adore.

Oops...back to hubby. I kinda got sidetracked here with

all the pretty Christmasy items.

I called hubby on the way home from my Christmas tea

and he said "my eye isn't any better". I told him I was sorry

and that I would be home soon.

I walked in the house , took one look at him and said,

"Why did you not go and get this looked at???"

{severly swollen at this point and infected}

His reply..."where would I go".

Are you kidding me...oh my!

We got in the car and headed for the ER.

Seems something had been in his eye and whenever he got it

out it had scratched the cornea and his eye was now infected.

{I will spare you the gross details}

I did get to look at the scratch as the doctor was holding the

glass for me to look through. Interesting...

So 45 minutes later we were headed for home with antibiotic

eye drops. I didn't see him this morning before he left for

work, but I do hope he is much better tonight.

Last night he looked like he got in a fight and lost!

Hoping you have a beautiful Monday...

linking up on Wednesday with Kathleen over at Faded Charm too.

blessings~

Update on Tuesday: hubby's eye is getting better slowly. wouldn't you know

it he forgot his eye drops at work today so missed taking them twice like

he was supposed to tonight. Hope he is fully recovered soon!

Oh and we really don't know for sure what was in it, but think it was a

metal shaving from work. By the time he got to the hospital it was out

and whatever it was just left behind the infection.
