I have four or five plates too and should find a wall to display them on instead of tucking them away in a cabinet.

I love the story about the elephant creamer and how you are carrying on your grandmother's tradition of saving pennies in it. That is really lovely. How fun to have a picture of you and your husband way before you got married.

Milk Glass

I am not a big collector of things. I tend to buy one or two of something and that is enough. Mainly this is a storage/display concern but also because I have a short attention span. Haha! I do love... Continue reading

Faux Spring

Thank you Melissa. The amazing thing was just how cheerful my Dad was when I did eventually show up!

Thank you. We had a good day - I did all the chores that she hasn't been able to do that were bugging her. My good deed for the day :)

Happy New Year

Did you all have a nice New Year's? We were hosting our two and half year old granddaughter and for the first time in forever I was asleep well before midnight. Running after a toddler will do that to you.... Continue reading

Thank you LindaSonia. I think since I decorate the second the last slice of pumpkin pie is served on Thanksgiving I am completely over Christmas on the 26th. I will say we still have our lights up on the house and I could totally be that person that leaves them up all year long....

Thank you Carolyn. Right after I took the pictures I removed the candles and stuck the greenery in a bucket outside so they'll last until Christmas Eve. Those girls are not to be trusted. Have a wonderful Christmas!

We're a week away! Keeping with my completely untraditional (for me) color scheme - this year's table will be red and green. But to make it more me I'm incorporating my favorite decorating element, milk glass. I do love me... Continue reading
