Winter is Here!

How are my blogbuds? Hope everyone had a good weekend. Here in SE Pennsylvania, we had our first teensy weensy snowfall. Actually, it was delicious. It was cold, the snow (such as it was) was enough to cover the lawns and windshields, and I loved every second of it! I was out doing some errands when it started, but then when I got home, I curled up with a nice cup of hot coffee, a good book, and just enjoyed it!  Of course, now it’s  all gone, but the cold has remained, and I hope that winter has finally arrived.

I must admit, though, that I already miss the autumn! The trees  -- that were so beautiful and lit up in golds and reds only a week ago—are now bare. Oh my, what a fast season! It seems that it arrived slowly and ended quickly!

I’ve been busy with work, but still finishing up some decorating. I don’t know how I could have possibly lost my box of Santas, but then again, I’d need to be crazy to move every box around in my closets – I’d either end up with a concussion or a mess!!  I found some time on Sunday to even get to a redo.

In rummaging thru the closets (looking for my Santas), I came across this --

Since I’m not a summery kind of girl, it just wasn’t used because it didn’t fit into anything prim. I redid it with some paint, and now it’s this:

Filled with holiday decorations…

and the big hairy boy checking it out! (sorry for my sock getting in the way!)

Let’s see… what else have I been putting together?

(what a face, huh?!?!?)

Back to business…

I filled one of the goodies I brought back from my trip to Emmaus back in early November with some greens and candles..

Found a small string of tiny colored lights that I added to my mantle. Hard to see in this pic, but it looks sweet in the darkish living room. Here’s a view with darker light --

I did find my prim Santa who is watching things from my living room wall…

Oh – and I picked up this adorable pillow at a small craft barn near my office.

And this little bad boy stays out all winter.

And a favorite prim stocking hanging in the dining room…

And that’s it so far! Just little touches – nothing too big. I just love seeing your beautiful homes on your blogs!! Wow, they are just fabulous!

Well, my dear friends, I guess I better grab some dinner before it gets much later! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a wonderful week!
