Happy Day After Christmas!

Looks like Mrs. Claus is glad to have Santa safely home once  again from his busiest day of the year.  

I hope you all "survived" and had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you are having a peaceful,restful day today.

Vintage Christmas Carol Book

 As a kid, I always remembered this beautiful picture of kids around a Christmas tree.  I couldn't remember the source, but I started looking on Ebay and was amazed when I actually found it.

 It's from this Christmas Carols book published by Whitman probably in the l950's. I LOVE Whitman art!

 As a kid, I remember trying to decide which little girl was the prettiest....The blonde or

 the brunette.  :)  Actually they are ALL adorable.

I'm joining Suzanne at The Colorado Lady for "Vintage Thingy Thursday" Thanks for stopping by.

Dear Santa

Dear Santa, Please, please bring me this CUTE, red tea set for Christmas.

(Christmas Teas of Comfort and Joy)

                                              Some red in the sunroom for this Christmas.

I love this Fitz and Floyd platter I found at Belk.  I got it half price, too.

I found this book at the flea market.  I mainly got it for it's cover, but it's got lots of craft ideas.

Some more reds in the sunroom.

 

I sure hope you have everything almost done and can sit back and relax.  I have one more gift to wrap.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY BLOGGY FRIENDS!

I'm joining Sue for REDNESDAY.

That “Gingerbread Feeling”

I have reset the little, red table in the sunroom with my Gingerbread tablescape.





The gingerbread wreath, and the gingerbread garland were recent (really cheap finds - .25 a piece.


They fit in perfectly with the gingerbread tablescape I was already planning.  Gingerbread utensil holders are from Cracker Barrel this year.


I fell in love with this guy when I first saw him on "Kristen's" blog. I searched til I found him.



Thanks for stopping by, and join Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for great tablescapes!

Adirondack Christmas

I have always loved the "adirondack" look, so I used this for Susan's "Tablescape Thursday"

Doesn't that pine cone look delicious? Yum! :)


The lodge plate was a gift from friend last year. Click here to see that post I did with that

I borrowed the red shades from the kitchen.Someday I'm getting rid of that ugly chandy,














Thanks for stopping by on this very cloudy,cold day. I loved having you as always!

My Christmas Mantle

I hope I'm not too late to join the party at "Uncommon Slice of Suburbia"

Christmas Reds

Hello! Christmas is a great time for REDS! These are my mom’s vintage, l930’s ice skates. I just love them.

I found these cute red trees at Target this year.

This red star door decoration was a gift last year. Right up my alley.

A wonderful vintage, thrifty find this year. Love the Christmas scene.

Another thrifty find at the flea market. Had to have this when I saw it.

Look at these vintage, tin plates. Love them, too!

I ordered these cute Santa mugs from a fund raiser.

I think I feel a Christmas Tablescape coming.

HAPPY REDNESDAY

Yahoo!Time for Debbiedoo’s Christmas Copycat Party!

What a fun party, Debbie!

Here's my inspiration for my copycat tablescape.

I already had the perfect table, so, of course, I chose this picture.

And ya'll know how I love RED.

I didn't have the Christmas plates, so I did the best I could.

I would love the have a Christmas tree in the sunroom to go with the table, too.

Thanks for stopping by, and here's the link to Debbiedoo's PARTY.
