Today I'm participating in the Home Sweet Home Holiday Blog Party sponsored by Whispering Poppies (long gone). A few posts ago, I did something quite similar, but I have even more to share so please bear with me. I am not a trendy gal. My Christmas colors remain silver and gold, red and green. Hope that you enjoy my mostly pictures post.
Yesterday, I received the sweetest package from Kathy at Shocking Pink Thread (private blog). I ordered a doll that she made and put on her Etsy shop. The doll's name is Pearl; I think because of the vintage pearl button on her sweet little dress. Here's the picture story!
All the items circled in red are the extra gifts that Kathy sent to us. John says he has dibs on the maple Santa. That's fine...I have dibs on the candy cane!I'm not sure if my grandmother will be receiving Pearl or not. I like Pearl mighty fine myself. Thanks so much, Kathy! (Did you see my repurposing of your beautiful ribbon?)
Hello Vee....enjoying your wonderful Christmas photo's! Your home looks so warm and inviting, a place I would love to come visit and share a cup coffee or tea!
ReplyDeleteI'm on line for awhile...using my old broken computer...it crashes when it wants guess, weird because it's working for now. Can't wait to receive my new one though!
Merry Christmas---
I'm visiting via Beachy's party. I enjoyed your pretty decorations. Thank you for inviting us into your home!
ReplyDeleteHi Vee, so nice to meet you and thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving your kind comment.
ReplyDeleteI have so enjoyed my visit to your lovely blog and have been so inspired by your pictures. You have some great ideas for display and I just love the tea cups hanging and the noel sign.
Pearl is just precious.
Thank you for sharing your holiday home.

Dear Vee, All of your decorations are lovely. I wish you and your family a very Merry and blessed Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invite to your party. I especially love the softly lit sheet music. it's so beautiful. That doll is precious. I visited her Etsy shop and her dolls are very reasonable. I might just have to bring one home.

ReplyDeleteOh Vee,

What a pleasure to see Miss Pearl perched in your Christmas Tree. You are "on the button" as far as her name is concerned. Your home always looks inviting. Thanks for the tour! Maybe the taste of maple will remind John of a certain day in July......~Kathy
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy decorating! It's looking lovely...warm and inviting...down to the music at the piano. And the doll is a treasure...no matter whose hands it is in!
ReplyDeleteI'm not trendy either! I love what you've done. The hanging teacups are fun :) Where'd you get that elf that lights candles anyway???
