Luke 2:8–14 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU! Hi y'all! Thank you so much for spending the last 25 countdown days with me. I had hoped to share a home tour with you today, but as you know, I've been sick for half the month and truthfully, just wasn't able to put one together.

Hi friends! As the holidays draw close, with all the preparation, work and stresses that sometimes come with it, I am reminded this season of the joy it holds in the eyes and hearts of children.  Our two and a half year old grandson is all things Christmas this year and our hearts have been full watching him take in all the Christmas magic. Christmas present this year is a reliving of our days of being young parents oh so many years ago. These are the days to treasure for sure and the reason we moved from Wisconsin to Kentucky two years ago!

 Hi y'all! Who doesn't love a great looking decorative pillow? Inside, outside - a cute and cushy pillow adds such a cozy and inviting touch to our spaces. Let's take a look at some of my Christmas pillows. This last "pillow" was a fun DIY. Wal-Mart had these felt pennants this year and I thought they would be fun sewn into a pillow. So I joined two together with a blanket stitch of green floss, stuffed with fiber fill and then antiqued it all with a coffee and cinnamon mixture. I think it turned out so cute and it has such a vintage vibe. Thanks for stopping by,

I think I'm pretty ready for it, but I know there is still much to do! How about you? Are you ready for the big days ahead? Its been a rough ten days or so of having a good old fashioned head cold, but I am on my way to recovery and if you read yesterday's post, you know I ventured out to one of my favorite antique malls  Ohio Valley Antique Mall  in Fairfield, Ohio.  I didn't get much, but I thought I'd show you my loot! Look for these in my home tour on December 25th to see how I've styled everything. Thanks for stopping by, Join me at a party or two: Thursday Favorite Things Funtastic Friday

 Hi y'all! Today I am excited to share some pictures I took recently at one of my favorite places to shop for vintage decor.  It is also filled with great styling ideas.   Ohio Valley Antique Mall  is located just outside of Cincinnati in Fairfield, Ohio. It boasts over 550 vendors and is hands down the cleanest, most organized antique mall I've ever been to. It even has a snack bar and grill, should you get hungry or thirsty during your visit. This is definitely a destination stop for any antique and vintage lover! Enjoy these snaps of Christmas cheer.
