Believe

Do you believe.

I believe this is the year of the creative mind. I believe in time management. I believe the fortunate should lend a helping hand to the unfortunate. I believe in angels.... This could go on forever and I don't believe you are here to read my ramblings. So lets continue to move through the room... we are at the mantle...

...and the first little Christmas tree.

He sits in a small urn and is dressed with only the smallest of birds and a simple string of gold miniature lights. He provides the green needed for this vignette.

I was going to move my birdbath back outside, but he made a nice little side table. Once he declared his function he was in...

the angels you may recognize from some of my photos from last summer... where they spent their time out pool side.

love the necklace and the pink cheeks on my sweet birds

as cute as it is, I myself, have had enough snow already....3 more inches yesterday

Believe.

More to come.

I will get my posts ready.... before Christmas...

and the give away....

I can't begin to tell you how much I love this little corner of my living room.

It is the first table top I decorated for the holidays.

All tarnished silver and glass with a touch of green, and a touch of outdoors, and maybe a clock or two and a vintage book. You can see why it is my favorite corner...

so simple. so pretty. so fresh.

the old wood box is a perfect touch for the trophies.

the glass is the perfect touch for the tarnished silver.

my cute Cast boy from Belgium

Busy, busy, busy.

The dryer is buzzing, the youngest boy is sick, the dog needs to go out, I've got to get in the shower, bills to pay, emails to answer, blogs to post, gifts to wrap, the store needs help, I don't have wine for tonight, I'm going to have to cancel my hair appointment, again... did I mention it's the weekend and we are enjoying our down time.... dreamin' again.

New vintage jewels at the Barn thanks to my new friends Linda and Jeanne... better get busy girls, it's selling like hotcakes.

Sale at the Barn started Friday - continues and gets better as we get closer to Christmas.

I just noticed I have almost - 1 short - 300 followers and almost 100,000 hits on this little ole blog. My goodness. I'm going to have to come up with a gift of thanks for the followers and those who link etc. Oh how exciting.....

I'll find something special at the Barn today....

I hope everyone is starting to get in the Christmas mood.

Everything goes so fast this time of year. I just can't believe it is only 8 days away.!

We've had the Christmas music going at the store since the first week of November. I've been surrounded by the fabulous decor at home now for 3 weeks..... I have 5 Christmas trees .

I know I have only posted one but I'm getting there

Don't you just love a large white bowl?

we have finally entered the living room...

It's finally Friday.

I hope you all have a wonderful pre-Christmas weekend filled with family and friends.

Even the upper levels get a splash of flash for Christmas.

I love the footed plates.

Love the green.

It's so fun just to wipe the slate clean and see what you come up with. My theme throughout, as you have probably noticed, is my book and clock collection. Most of this is left over from the bar area when I re-vignetted the bar with a splash of holiday.

I call this my snack cupboard.

Even the dog thinks it's her snack cupboard. She has now figured out how to open the damn thing and help herself. One day we found a large bag of sugar hauled over to the couch... what a mess. Usually it is just cookies all over... bad girl.

love my window area over the sink...

At the Barn we are getting ready for the Pre - Christmas sale.

Another day of Frozen Tundra... hence the frozen flowers.

Loads of goodies still available and lots of fun jewelry on the way. Buying, wrapping and shipping that's what I am doing for the next few days... I will post pics on the wrapping theme this year, so stay tuned. ~ L
