Hi y'all! I had a chance to do a little shopping today before I picked up my grocery order, so I thought I'd share with you what I picked up. It's a tiny haul, but that's okay - I really don't need any of it, lol! I found a few things at my local St. Vincent DePaul and Home Goods. I haven't been thrifting in forever and I was so surprised how empty SVD was! I asked the cashier what was up and she said their shelves really got cleared for Christmas. Hopefully they will start getting more donations soon. Here's my haul for the day! The little saucers and silver coffee/tea server was from SVD and the rest was from Home Goods. How sweet is this silver server? I can just see it filled with a wispy plant or even some baby's breath. The pillow was a $12.99 buy and will look cute on my front porch for Valentine's Day. The terra cotta hand towels are a master bath refresh.  The detail is just so pretty. The little saucers are a pretty cream and green. I love ...

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! Our sweet grandson loves the train around our tree and we have spent many hours playing with him, enjoying and encouraging his imagination. A few weeks ago, grandpa built a wooden tunnel for the train and yesterday we watched our grandson proudly paint it! He was very concentrated and focused, lol. Of course, it wouldn't be a successful paint job if he didn't get some paint in his hair. I think he takes after grandma. Ha! If you have little...

 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,

TFT Blog Hop  Hi y'all! Depending on your perspective, the holidays are winding down or gearing up! Anyway you look at it, Christmas is almost here. 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
