~ A Winters Read ~

Today was very windy and wet as a cold front moved through the area...It was a wonderful day for a cup of coffee, a book and a fire in the fireplace. I got this great book for Christmas and being a colonial era (and George) addict ... It has been drooled upon literally for the last few days...until I said "Heck with it" and made time to read a little ...Judging by it's size though , it'll probably run into the spring...it's a thick book!

~ Post Christmas Post~

Another Christmas...and soon another year will be over with too ...My how time flies...This is always a time to reflect for me, about the current year and the dreams and plans for the one to come. I have learned that dwelling on regrets of the past is a losing battle...You can never have a re-do ...

***

However, the new year is coming, fresh and new and it never hurts to dream big...When your dreams are big, you are open to all of the opportunities that may come your way...Your perspective is clear and your passion to achieve big is stronger...When and if it comes, you are ready for it... and the answer will always be "Yes" without hesitation...So dream big this new year...and don't look back!!

It's so hard to believe that Christmas Day is almost here...The last couple of weeks have been so busy and today was spent gathering last minute gifts and groceries... I have more wrapping and cooking to look forward too now ...yeah!...I mean, whew! I hope you all are a little further ahead than I...

Thank you all so much for reading my blog throughout the year...and especially for your kindness...It has been a wonderful year and I have been so blest to meet many new friends at shows and over the Internet... Thank you all for stopping by my booth or sending me a quick email... Thank you for just being there!

~ Sugarplums and Candy Canes ~

Well, it's time to take a big sigh and relax for a short while. I have been busy cleaning, shopping, wrapping and decorating...oh and baking. After writing this, I'm wondering if this is really so relaxing!! The house is all decked out for Christmas now and I have been running around like a little elf taking pictures. I'll be posting some of them on my picturetrail in the next few days...

A nightly ritual now is shooing the kitties from underneath the tree. Everyone wants to curl up and go to sleep there. We hear bulbs hitting the floor and packages moving around...occasionally a little face pops out like above and gets to stay...Who has the heart to say no? Yep, they get away with murder!

~ Day of Extreme Fun ~

Here are a few pictures of the most funnest day I have had in a long time!! I love to shop for antiques, primitives and bargains and I love to romanticize about living in an old colonial house or log cabin...just a fantasy, of course...Last Thursday, I got to do both and it was sooo much fun...As I said in an earlier post, mama and I spent the whole day in the upper Shenandoah Valley...It was an historical area that she had seen on a trip to look for a cow...of all things...

***

I got some wonderful photos of my dream homes and we even found an old covered bridge...I didn't know Virginia had any of those... It was so much fun and I plan to go back in the Spring after I save my money...I'll have to post my bargains soon...they're great!!

Take Care,

~Ole Christmas Show 2011~

I just got home today from a wonderful Christmas show in Va...Met some new friends and got caught up with the old ones ...I had such a great time...I didn't want to come home!! Mama and I went antique shopping in the upper Shenandoah Valley a few times and I got some wonderful pics to show ...There were so many beautiful old log cabins dotting the roads and the fields...There were also a few great deals that I found!! I have plenty of blogging to do but right now...I'm exhausted!!

I'll be listing some new dolls on Etsy sometime this week...I only have a Santa or two left and a few snowmen but they all need loving homes...Please check back for my update!!...

Take Care,
