FROSTY MORNING...

Good frosty morning out there! Wow, is it ever cold in Michigan. The wind chill was below 0 last night - ouch! I had such a fun evening though, I went to Ashley's house and took care of Abbey and Lucy while they went to her husband's Christmas party. Lucy was a little sweetie and went to bed early and Abbey and I played games, read stories and just enjoyed being together. She called me in the afternoon and told me we were going to have a "fabulous" evening together - and we did!
I'm trying to master this new camera and haven't had a lot of time yet, but have some pictures to share with you. I'll do more of our home this weekend. This is my old "chairback" shelf in the living room.

Too dark, but you can get the idea. My collection of old pinkeeps in the window.

Now on to town. Janie getting her coffee beans put in the roaster - YUMMY! I'm getting so spoiled having such great coffee right next door - and having such a sweet neighbor!

Now on to the shop. Our front table has had some changes. Just love the old sleigh that Debbie brought in - also the sign.

The stockings were hung...

This wonderful big black table is also a new addition - with a drawer in the front.

Old chippy blue cupboard - should I paint it?

This old sled is too great for words. It's SOOO heavy, I can't imagine some little child pulling it to the top of the hill! Sure would be a great porch decoration though.

Ice skate on a wooden base with a battery candle inside. You could take off the base and use the skate in a wreath too.

Another old skate (double runner) with an electric light inside.

Handmade Santa suit - I may bring one home.

Close-up of sleigh and sign.

Amazing Grace with her old Bible and cheesecloth hair. She is just as sweet as she can be.

This prim wool tree is in a bundt pan with angel vine. What a great place to put your candy canes!

Snowman door greater has sticks for his mouth and a pumpkin stem nose.

This snowman is adorable. Wouldn't he be cute on a porch????

Funky old snowman head on a funnel sure wants to go home with someone.

That's all for today, but I'm looking forward to coming home, turning on the little white lights and taking lots of pictures to share with you of our new home. It's small, but oh so cozy. I'm really loving the simplicity - especially with running the shop and going to visit Dad so much.

Enjoy your frosty day. Put on a pot of coffee, turn on the Christmas music and have fun baking, decorating or wrapping gifts. We'll talk again soon.

Until next time...
