Only 17 shopping days til Christmas….Yikes!

I can’t believe how time is flying by. Before you know it, it’ll be hot again here in Texas. No not that! We have been really busy with Thanksgiving, shopping for grandkids, shoppers shopping at my house, getting the house ready for shoppers, doing some fun stuff with friends, checking out great shows in this area, and the list goes on. Mayron and I went out to east Texas for Judy of J. Hill Designs Open House. Of course it was over the top wonderful. I managed to get a few pics there. Mayron has been to a couple shows I haven’t been able to go to because of other commitments. She enjoyed her trip to Winnie and Tulula’s Open House and, also, Primitiques Open House. So much to do…so little time. From the pics I’ve seen, it looks like both were beautiful. Below is a photo of 5 of several reasons why things have been a little hectic lately. Haven’t been blogging or reading blogs much in the last couple weeks, but finally posting something new. Since it “tis the season” am, also, adding a few Christmasy pics.
Not easy getting all 5 of these guys holding still long enough for the camera to record anything but movement!
This is a large twig chandelier over Judy’s dining room table. It’s decked out with aluminum tree branches, birds, and ornaments. Quite stunning in person!
Some funky metal columns by Judy’s sink in her kitchen.
Mercury trees and candleholders sitting on glass blocks at Judy’s.
This crib decked out with paper chain made from sheet music is sooo much cuter than the photo indicates. Very creative, Judy!
This display was on Judy’s island in her kitchen. Check out the old metal table. The “boy” on top was pretty tall. It was a great display!
Happy decorating and shopping!

I love the shiny mercury glass trees — they’re so pretty
The paper chain in the nursery is pretty too
It’s fun seeing how other people decorate their homes for Christmas

That’s five of the cutest reasons not to blog…no excuses necessary! Really, Marcie, you have a beautiful family. Missed you at W&Ts but totally understand.

I want those funky, metal columns! Hadn’t seen those in any other blogs. And I love ‘em!
Hey, enjoy the family. With all the Open Houses, I’ve neglected my home and blogging. Am trying to catch up with the house now. Hope someone is still “out there” when I come back to blog land full force. ~Mindy

Those kids are awesome. I can’t believe you were able to get such a good pictures. No wonder you talk about them so much. They are precious.

First of all, how did you make the “please don’t eat the fruit”? What is it covered with, pearls or silver beads, I couldn’t tell. I fell in love with them. Secondly I loved the pics with the horse. my first cousin owns a minature horse ranch in Texas and they are great!
