I am SO enjoying these days and weeks of decorating for Christmas!
There's no pressure as I have no deadline or parties - not that I won't be entertaining some during the Christmas season. I know I will host a ladies Christmas Tea sometime in December - hopefully mid month. If you are local and would like to join me I would be honored.
Bruno came to trim our pecan trees this afternoon!
The harvest was pretty much over and we had a good crop this year!
Louis Dean has been 'peeling' pecans for days and days......
I am thinking it is good therapy and he is loving it.
I left at noon to do Tuesday Treasures with Brenda and he was still out there when I came home at 3:30!
Now for my Tuesday Treasures!
A beautiful Cristmas Cardinal ....
Win! WIN!!
Another treasure!
This is a Karen Didion original and brand new with tags - just a missing wine cork!
No worries there!!
These two signs - just $6 for both!
A HEAVY glass box with lights and a gold bow!
$3!
Super cool ornament hangers!
L for Linda - or Louis!!
A pink Santa for my pink porch!
Napkin rings for next fall!
When I start to decorate next year it will be a surprise!
A beautiful Christmas pillow for the living room sofa.
Ha! A draft stopper and goodness - you know we have many!
I have wanted this pillow for the last two weeks but today it was half price!
SOLD!!
A holiday nightgown!
YES!
It is still warm in Texas and I am yearning for warm gowns and PJs - but it's not happening here!
Brenda and I thought this was gift bag filler - but turned out to be a garland!
It is now hanging in the foyer!
Finally - my best find!
I know nearly everyone has had YETI cups for a long time but I bought our first ones today!
His and hers!
One for his coffee and one for my ice tea!
Not bad for $2 each!
Here's a sneak peek at our foyer....
This side is mostly done and I used angels and gold and nativity scenes.
Hoping to finish the other half tomorrow!
Look what a TREASURE I received from my counter part - Linda Chapman in Canada!
I teared up when I opened it!
Made with love from a dear friend - I am blessed beyond measure!
Thank you, Linda!
I love you and our visit last year when you came to Texas to meet me.
It's on my Bucket List to visit YOU in Canada and also to join you on one of your travel adventures!
YOU are the reason I keep my passport updated!
WOW your golden and angels foyer is GORGEOUS!!!--- LOVE IT. Loved seeing your thrift store finds, my favorite this time being the draft dodger--- very cute!!! That pink Santa is also pretty. Mr Front Porch is like Louis Dean!--- he LOVES to harvest pecans! 2 years ago we had a HUGE HARVEST, we shared with everybody. Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteDraft STOPPER!!!!!not dodger, ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteThe pink Santa is gorgeous! And you even got a green one to match your painting! None of our Goodwills ever have this kind of thing, ever! It must be because they are in Texas.
ReplyDeleteI adore that draft stopper! Perfect for your home and the lovely gifts the other Linda Chapman sent!
ReplyDeleteYour foyer is amazing!

You hit it big this week, Ms Linda. Regarding the Yeti mugs, they are great for keeping things hot but just know that LD's coffee will stay very hot for a long long time, which always surprises me because I think it will have cooled down and then I burn my tongue. So, remind him it will stay as hot as the first sip. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love all your Tuesday treasures. We are decorated for Thanksgiving here. Our nights have been chilly here so I'm wearing my winter weight gowns now! It does warm up during the day but after sunset it cools down quickly! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
ReplyDeleteSuch treasures! I love the beautiful gifts from your name "twin"! It's certainly getting much colder here than in Texas. We need thermal Longjohns, socks and mittens for bed! :)
ReplyDeleteI thought the same as Ginny, the green Santa suit goes with your painting this year. sorry you can't wear your cozy pjs, maybe this week end. we are getting flannel gown weather starting tomorrow. a week long cold front. but not freezing. your gift is beautiful from the other LC... love the pink Santa
ReplyDeleteWow...you have some really great treasures here. So sweet of your friend Linda to send you such a nice gift...You are Blessed. I only wish I had our home decorated..I am so far behind. .Your's looks Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love Louis Dean doing the pecans - good therapy! I love the Christmas box with the lights inside. And your nightgown. You did find some GREAT things.
ReplyDeleteYou found some wonderful treasures. I would love to go treasure hunting with you. You always find such good stuff.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a sweet gift you got.
Love your pink Santa.
