Serious Decorating Time

Good Afternoon Everyone!

I hope I have a better afternoon today than

I had a few days ago.  After doing a little Christmas
shopping, I was on my way home, when I was 
rear ended at a yield sign.  If you have been reading
 my blog for a while, you know that Hollis and
 I were in an accident Labor Day.  I am still going to 
physical therapy for that.  To add insult to injury, 
it was our new car that was hit.  Significant damage

to the rear of the car.  It is drivable but the

trunk is unusable.  I was so upset that day I

was just worthless.  My mood is better today,

and physically I am OK, just a little stiff and sore.  
I am so thankful for that.  Emotionally not so good -
 beginning to feel like a target.  Trying to put it all
 behind me and get on with my decorating

and some more shopping. 

So, I thought I would share a view pictures

of the things I have put up so far.  The

real greens will come later so they will be

fresh closer to the big day.

Basket filled with "vintage" goodies.  I love

the little feather tree in the old shoe.  How cute

are the little red buttons.  The cross stitch design

is one of Hollis'.

"Vintage" ornaments are on this feather tree.

This is a mismatched set.  I have been collecting these

nativity pieces for years and just keep adding my

favorites.

This is a Victorian Christmas tree.  I found it in an
antique shop in Fredericksburg years ago.  Have
you ever seen one before?  I've never seen another
one.  The tree is made of wire, and then there are
glass beads, glass ornaments, and other tiny 
embellishments.  Click on the picture for a
close up. 
I'll share some more pictures soon.
Hope you are having a wonderful day.  Please
be careful when out and about.  Everyone is in
such a hurry.
Merry Stitches,
Sandra
