It's beginning to look alot MORE like Christmas.

In my travels this week I found some more baubles for my first Christmas without my Santa Clause…AKA Hubby L
Ok moving on …we won’t stay on that thought.  
I saw a funny sign in the store the other day it read...
 “Shopping with your husband is like hunting with the game warden”
Hehehehe.
That would have made Richard laugh. Not that he was one of those husbands that complained about spending, He was wise but also generous... if it was in his means he loved to bless the people he adored. However if something wasn’t his taste I would often put it back and find the thing we could both agree on. That’s what you do in marriage...right J
So with Hubby home with Jesus I find the simple joy of just letting my taste come out in my decorating of the house this year. Not that I wouldn’t give it all up to have him make one of his silly faces at my loud, gaudy, glittery, 50’ish, shappy, yard sale, garbage billy goating taste again…
But I will find the joy were I can and share my loud, gaudy, glittery, 50’ish, shappy, yard sale, garbage billy goating taste with all of you...lol
So enjoy the baubles :)







And although I’m not doing the traditional tree thing this year... I found this sweet vintage tree stand for a steal at a local antique shop for next year. Or maybe I’ll make it into something else who knows…any ideas out there?
Well I hope you peeps are having a holly jolly Christmas season as well!

  1. Your decorations and little Christmas Village are beautiful! And what a score on that lovely vintage tree stand too. Maybe you could turn it into a candle holder? Put a beautiful glass vase on top with a candle?? That's about as far as my creativity goes, sorry.....

    Hugs,

    1. I'm seeing it Kim that's a great idea....I was thinking maybe even a hurricane lamps with greens all around for a table centerpiece :)

  2. That would make a cool lamp shade if you can get the top off...or light fixture hung over a table...what's the underside made from? And I LOVE your style...makes me smile: )
