oh, how i love to read your blog, i don't make it here every day, but i know we are kindred spirits because i love all the same items you do.. drooling over your snowpeople display.. Merry Christmas!
For you, a little gift. Or two.
Since I've already admitted to being a Christmas ornament snob, I might as well come clean on a few other topics. I'm also a Christmas music snob, a Christmas movie snob, and a Christmas book snob. I don't like just anything. I need to be convinced that something is worth my attention. Which i...

The thrill of the itty-bitty
I was doing some Etsy listings when I remembered I had never done a post on one of the oddest things I found this summer: a store display of 'Pet Stick Pins.' They are so tiny!!! There are quite an array of animals represented, from barnyard friends to bugs. The birds are my favorite...

ok, i have to tell you, i love your blog.. i happened on to it a few weeks ago with the red and green around dec 21.. that night i read back about 3 mos or so.. tonight i have read most if not all of your posts.. i had no idea there were that many vintage christmas ornaments out there.. the many things i have learned.. i am just over whelmed by all of your pictures and vintage items.. thanks for sharing..
Out the door
The good thing about having a case at an antique mall is that when the urge to declutter strikes, as it always does in January, there's something to do with the stuff. Namely, sell it. Get it out the door, mark it thrift-store cheap and hope that somebody buys it before you have to actually t...
Hey Janet, the card is great... those kids are so cute.. keeping your family in my prayers during this time... i believe i have voted for you every day and have done my best to get other people to do the same.. we shall see..off to see if it is time again to vote..
Merry Christmas...
a little early! As my husbands 1st surgery is tomorrow morning and after that I will probably be away from the computer for a bit I thought I would share our christmas card...or should I say cyber card since I didn't actually get them sent out this year with everything that is going on. I am ...
well Janet, this is really nice of you.. i voted for you yest and today and plan on doing it every day.. i posted on facebook also; trying to get all of my scrappin friends to vote also. i LOVE these crystals, i have always loved crystals and squirrel away every one i can find and wait for a special occasion to use them.. i am thinking these would look awesome on the bottom of your tussie-mussies from the hof3 store. i have made small ones in the past and made 1 on my sil the other day.. i am thinking these would look awesome on them and also thanks for the tut.. love that idea of using the tissue in old books, now i gotta hit my moms garage for old books.. thanks.. you all are in my prayers.. hugz, ruth
To sweeten the deal to vote for me...
I am going to first give you a little tutorial on these tissue paper crystal ornaments and then there is a giveaway at the end if you would take two seconds out of your day and vote for me here. You can read more about it in the last post but I would love it if you could vote once a day! Now on ...
oh my dear Philippa, i think we must truly be sisters of the heart.. i do not like the heat and i am forever stumping my toe or tripping or something silly.. love the pic of your retreat.. how perfect.. and you gardens.. divine..hoping to get some time to finish one of my projects soon and return to the other one to finish the quilts for my great niece and great nephews for Christmas.. it is that time again, it came around so soon... i moved our living room furniture to make room for the christmas tree which i have not brought up from the basement... sigh.. rachel already has her tree up.. can hardly wait for the web show wed night.. hugz, ruth
Crikey, What Next!! Giggle
Hi there, well I'm beginning to wonder what's next in terms of the end of this year! Last night I fell over in the paddock (on uneven ground) and have damaged the base joint where my big toe joins my foot! I did the same thing a few years ago and I have a funny feeling the hairline crack I had...

Zumba Monday
Hi there, hmm I decided to change the colour of my text just for fun! It's Zumba monday morning again so this will only be short as I have to rush out the door to take the cat to the vet beforehand. I don't like doing this as it means I have to leave him at the vet for a couple of hours and he...
oh.my.goodness... philippa, the tag book is wonderful, love the colors, love all of it... thanks for sharing and love the pic of the birds...
Photos as Promised
Hi, here is a photo of 4 of the tags in my mini book. I haven't taken a photo of the other side of them yet, because 2 of them aren't finished as yet. Please bear in mind that this is the first time I've ever done anything like this so I'm not sure they look super-fantastic! I love the colour...

Seeds Galore
Hi, well it's Wednesday and today I get a chance to catch up with some gardening. Yesterday pm I sowed a HEAP of seeds for Mapua Country Trading including watercress, heritage roquefort beans, english thyme, coriander, tuscan black kale (there are more but I can't remember, crikey!). I develop...
would love to eat some of those yummy looking beans and the sweet peas are glorious.. they look much bigger than the sweet peas we have here in the states.. i do not have any, tried to get them started one time, but they did not take.. the old fashioned heirloom ones are the very best.. here's hoping your day is glorious.. hugz, ruth
Sweet Peas & Broad Beans
HI there, well it's Zumba monday again so this will be slightly short as we need to leap out the door pronto. Here is a photo of the broad beans we harvested for dinner on Saturday night. I podded them, poured boiling water over them and then cold water and proceeded to remove all of their ski...
oh my dear this sounds so lovely and i would just adore to drop in for dinner.. the menu sounds yummy.. sounds like you have had a busy day.. went to the dr and i only have bronchitis, so maybe we can head off the pneumonia.. hugz, ruth
Busy Saturday
Hi there, crikey what a busy day today has been so far. It's 2.02pm and I've only just found the time to post this! Ugh... Needed to pick John up from the airport (he was overseas for 3 days) so this morning was a bit of a rush, feeding animals, doing daily chores etc before I shot out the do...

Janet, an awesome show wed night... i love the page protectors that you showed with the various ideas.. will have to order some of those..

Ruth
