Christmas Scenes at My House

Welcome to my house. Here is one of the horse corral gates......... the boys have to be festive too! I even put a lighted wreath on the barn door :)

The boys. Cody, Garret & Jack.

The view of my house from the horse corral.

A decorated railing....

The big tree.....it's a real one.

My front door....

My very old nativity set given to me by my grandmother. I do believe it is made of chalkware.

My kitchen table centerpiece I put together this weekend. Went into the woods and cut a few pine branches set them inside a wooden tray with a real pineapple and some candles......a really nice natural look.

And of course, I finished up my fabulous decorated sugar cookies.....Christmas just wouldn't be complete without them :)

Well, I still have wrapping, more last minute shopping and preparation of the Christmas dinner. We skip the traditional turkey and always do our version of "meatball on a wick" sandwiches with some spaghetti or lasagna. The sandwich comes from a little restaurant called Santasiero's and is located on the westside of Buffalo, New York. It's been there since 1921 and the decor hasn't really changed much since then either.. LOL! I have been going there since my childhood and my parents have been going there since their childhood. They grew up in Buffalo. Everytime we visit relatives, we have to stop and eat at what we always call, "Lafayette & Niagara" cuz it's located on the corner of those streets :) ....if you ever get over in that part of the planet.....this is a MUST place to stop and grab a bite...you won't be disappointed in their food!

How Come Smaller always says ...CUTE?!

Isn't kinda weird that when we see something in a smaller size, after we've seen it in a larger size..... the first word that comes to mind is..... CUTE! Why is that? Anyhow....I wanted to share with you my smaller size version of my Zee Brah!
I made him in a little "Vintage Christmas" theme....since Christmas decorating is just around the corner....ack!I had found a box of vintage glass candlestick style christmas light bulbs while cleaning through my Mom's stuff and wondered what I could do with these.....I just love anything old and try to figure a new use for it. Well, I decided to alter the bulb a little by putting a bit of greenery, some red berries and a vintage ribbon on the inside of the cup part and then put the bulb into a vintage thread spool.... for a little make-do! I think it turned out great! I even made another one and put the bulb in a vintage wooden shoe mold! I'll have to take pictures and share that soon.

Anyway.....I have this little version of my Zee Brah on Ebay right now in case you want to see tons more pics and descriptions!

The Big Day Finally Arrived....

Well, I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas this year. Our Christmas was very nice ..... although we lost power Christmas Eve and had to break out the candles....thankfully it was a warmer evening (35 degrees) so it didn't get too cold in the house before the power was restored about 2 hrs later. Here is me and my daughter chatting at the counter when the power was out ..... waiting for Santa, of course!and my daughters in front of the tree.......

presents all unwrapped on Christmas morning.......

and an antique Minerva doll for me ..... I had to hang her on an old chippy painted ceiling tile and place her in my bedroom....

PINK ANGEL PUG....OH MY!

I just couldn't think of a more fitting character to wear my last pair of angel wings.....why who else, but an adorable Pink Pug, of course!

This was my last of the 2 pairs of wings I had found. I decided on a pink pug and go with a shabby pink theme. I used lots of vintage materials on this girl.

I even altered a wonderful old vintage childs dress because it had such lovely delicate lace around the collar and sleeves. I decided on a romper style and added vintage scalloped pink dot trim to the bottom of the legs.....toooo cute! I gave her an antique typewriter key with the letter "A" for Angel as well as a vintage pearl and pale pink glass ornament.

Her wings are removable too, so you can display he all year round.....just perfect with antique dollys too!

She is now on ebay in case you want to see lots more pictures and details.......her auction ends this Monday. You can click on my ebay link to take you there.

Hark The Herald Angels Sing.......

Just had to show off my newest holiday piece....she came out really great. She wears an altered vintage childs dress and a vintage lace collar with these fantastic feather wings! And can't forget that sad sweet look on her face :)

She is a one-of-a-kind creation.....an adorable Pug Angel Dawg! And I have her on ebay right now if you want to see all the details......her auction will end this Thursday.........

A little holiday spirit

I hope everybody enjoyed the Thanksgiving feast and festivities! I know I ate way tooooo much :)

Now it's time to gear up for the next big holiday....Christmas! So I thought I would start by decorating my blog for a little holiday cheer! Ho Ho HO .... and I also have a new Winter Girl Ellyfont on ebay....... she is so sweet wearing an altered vintage dolly dress!

Today's View From My Studio Window

Well.....we are getting our first big snowstorm of the season...............

Thought I would share with you what I see when I look out from my studio window......

My work studio is not at my house. I share space in a small 3-unit building and this is what I see on one side of my door....a bit of woods all snow covered....... and below is the view looking out to the main road, past the big fat shrub (that I wish the landlord would cut down, it is almost covering my whole window now) ....

Oh I almost forgot..... I just finished up a little old clown bear today and I have him available in my ETSY store right now.........
