Golden Treasures

The Soft Glow of Sunrise starts my day with a smile
                                                                    Winter is here and the air feels so fresh
                                                                 The little ones are counting the presents under the tree
                                                                   And are excited that Christmas is near
                              Teddy is happy he has new friends because MiMi made him his own little bear
                                                    The handmade gifts are ready
                                                               The entry porch decked out to receive guests
                                                        The count down is on



                                                           We wish you safe travels during your holidays and much love.
                                                                              Di!

A Special Thanks for a special delivery

See This Big Smile...I got a package special delivery

It came via the Brown Package Truck...
Oh Yes, I believe in Santa


I was the winner of  Tina O'Flaherty's Tote from the Giveaway at a Beautiful Mess Antiques
                             It is truly divine...the fabrics are so me, I love needle point and vintage fabrics
                                                  The horse is in petitpoint and so beautiful with the vintage fabric

And look at that latch...be still my heart


So that you for the beautiful gift...I am welcoming winter and found the perfect vest to wear with it.
Now if I can get my boots for Christmas I would truly be styling!

It is a Wonderful Life Dear Jimmy



                                                                       A Beautiful Life

A beautiful life is defined by many things.  My husbands most favorite Christmas memory is our grandson leaping into Santas arms. 

Peaceful White Images Make me Happy


I find joy in whimsy
                                                                          
                                         A beautiful snug bed to dream of sugar plums and fairys

 
                               The Gift of Love from My Grandpops to My Nana oh so many years ago
                                                                            Merry Christmas
                                         The love of our Lord Jesus on this upcoming Holy Night
                         

                            Yes Jimmy, it is a Wonderful Life...thank you for 37 wonderful years
