~Greetings~

Joyous Wednesday to you. I am now officially on vacation!!!:) Tis a bitter cold morning in Vermont with wind chills in the single numbers. Old Man Winter has wrapped his icy fingers around us to be sure! Today after bundling up & making a quick trip to the post office, I will be working on a special Christmas gift for my sister & then...let the wrapping begin!!!!! Spaghetti & meatballs for dinner this evening. Wishing you a joyous day...stay warm!!

Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
~Bill Morgan, Jr

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home. ~Edith Sitwell

Good morning everyone & welcome to November. Soon...very SOON...it will be snowing...oh I shall be in heaven then :) I do apologize but I'm going to have to make this brief...my carpel tunnel is absolutely awful...worse than it's ever been in fact ... & after writing newsletters, doing uploads, descriptions and all that good stuff it's literally to the point of making me sick to my stomach it hurts so bad. So..that being said..I have 5 new offerings for this update..I LOVE them all!

~Flurry~

~Blackened Beeswax Hornbook Ornaments~


~Early Colonial Door Pocket~

The background is glorious-I love that color, and it looks awesome on my brand new huge monitor!!!(one of my b-day gifts!)
Your little folks are so sweet. I also love how you make a little scene for the photos. You have such an artist's eye for all the details. Oh how I wish I was as together as you!!
I'm off to look at your site and mark it as a favorite-'cos it surely is!
