Trees

Just wanted to show off my extensive collection of bottle brush trees. There are 28- I know this because Tyler counts them every morning! Most are vintage, some are new and all are cute. I don't have a favorite, I have about six favorites. I have been collecting them for a long time, it helps having a Mom that owns an antique store and keeps the best ones for me!

How I can tell snow is coming...

A certain somebody burrows under any blanket she can find, and stays
there. Smart dog!

Ornament Swap

I just mailed off my handmade ornaments for a swap hosted by Sarah at Small Fox . In the spirit of reuse/recycle I used a pair of jeans that were pretty new but had a giant hole in the knee, cut them up and made tree's. I added vintage buttons and ribbon from my stash and made them pretty. I made some similar tree's last year and really liked them a lot. You can see what the others are making in the Flickr Group created for this swap.


Squirrel Party

Over the long weekend, we put all the fall decor away and got out all the Christmas stuff. We had some pumpkins and squash on our front porch that they boys moved to the backyard, and a little while later we noticed something funny- the big pumpkin had a hole in it and there were pumpkin seeds all around it. We sat on the couch and waited patiently, and soon the perpetrator appeared. We had a blast yesterday watching the feeding frenzy. There are a ton of squirrels hanging around the yard now, but only one at a time at the pumpkin. They are chasing each other and going crazy!

Happy Turkey Day!


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We spent the day yesterday getting ready for the holiday by making two of our favorite treats- Puppy Chow and White Chocolate Popcorn. We bagged them up to take to our neighbors house today when we spend Thanksgiving with them.

We had our "official" thanksgiving a couple weeks ago when my parents were here, so it makes being away from friends and family today a little easier. I am ready for the Christmas season to begin! We got a jump on it last weekend and put the outdoor lights up- the weather was nice and we may not get another nice weekend like that until May!
