Away We Go.....

I'm under the weather{still} so I decided to lay in bed and watch this movie...
After passing it up at least a dozen times at the video store I decided to rent it. I'm glad I did. It was cute, sweet & funny~ definitely worth watching. Awesome soundtrack too!

Pink and Blue Christmas

I'm just getting started, but I think I'm going to do an all Pink & Blue Christmas this year.
My daughter and I made a long pink & blue garland out of bumpy chenille stems. I think I still have enough to wrap around the Christmas Tree.

Pink & Blue Etsy holiday decor finds:
{Vintage mercury bulbs}

{Blue Silk Christmas Tree Skirt}


{Pink Christmas Lights}


{Pink Bottle Brush Tree's}

I need to get into the attic to get the rest of my Christmas decorations down. We have rain today...the first rain we've had since I can't remember when?? It feels like the perfect day to get the house ready for the holiday's.

Re-finding things :)

It's always a nice surprise when you come across things you forgot you had. I think it happens a lot as you get older{or once you have kids, something happens to your memory} you hide things or store them away...then when you find them again it's the best surprise "woo hoo, I forgot I had this!".
The funny thing is, I do this almost every time I "re-find" my fabric stuffed into this suitcase!
It's like the gift that keeps on giving :)

This jar filled to the brim with vintage buttons was my latest{unexpected} flea market find. I've been seriously low on my buttons supply, and was beginning to think I may never find more{without paying an arm and a leg} so I was thrilled when I found these!


I'm SO excited about this too!

Ready to stitch Tote, by Sublime Stitching.
Nothing is more relaxing than sitting and embroidering. What keeps me from doing more of it is the whole transferring pattern part~ but you don't have to worry about that step because it's already done for you.
This is what it can look like ♥

I'm also thinking that I might need this awesome Ultimate Starter embroidery kit, it has everything you could possibly need to get yourself started.

I might have to surprise myself with it for Christmas :)

Estate Sales.....

This is why I love them:
I found this vintage{Gurley candle} choir girl to add to my little collection. Made during 1940's through 1970's and sold at most dime stores, these little cuties were mostly used as holiday decor, to display rather than burn.
I love my new girl :)

Another reason why I love Estate Sales: The cool completed projects you'll find! Some crafty crafter made these super cute Santa napkin holders, and I don't think they were ever used. While I'm browsing around an Estate Sale, I'm always wondering about the owner of the things I'm looking through??? I'm sure who ever made these meant for them to be used.
They'll definitely be used on our Christmas table♥

Another fun holiday collectible: little Putz Houses. A friend sent me this one....now I just need to find more to get a little community going.

I've also been working hard{at what feels like a snails pace when you're sick}
Ahhh, I finally completed two Chalkboards for my Shop.

Happy Thanksgiving!
