Out and About, a "Pre-Christmas" Tree, and the Give-Away Winner...

I had a few things I wanted to share with you today...
Hope you don't mind a little bit of everything.



Check out the oh so cute animal portraits...
with scarves!

My Sis and I headed to Ozark,
 to check out some of the shops.

My cell phone had to take the photos.
They never turn out very well,
 but there were some really cute photo ops.
Hope you'll bear with me.
 There were so many fun ideas.


This is a Christmas Tree made from birch branches...love it!






This is a form for a taxidermy deer
covered in old lace or crochet.
Looked like it might have been an old lace tablecloth.






 cute couple!



They had these adorable snowflakes hanging from the ceiling.
Not sure if garden stakes were painted to look like this,
or if they were old trellises taken apart.




Moss covered twiggy reindeer.



Old bottles Decoupaged for Christmas.



I took a lot more photos,
 but they just didn't do the wonderful creations justice.

and yes, I DID come home with a couple of cute items,
I'll share next week.
It's dark, and I hate using a flash.

So this is what I've been up to this weekend...
 Putting up my Autumn Tree,
and continuing the transition from Fall to Christmas.

Here's a peek,
I'm trying to get a little jump on the Christmas decorating.






I'm going to announce this next week,
but I'm going to be hosting a
"Come As You Are" 
Christmas Open House Link Party
on Wednesday December 9.
(I first thought Monday the 7th, 
but I think the 9th will give us a little more time)
A place to share your Christmas Home Tours, DIY, and Vignettes.
past and present.
Be watching and mark your bloggy calendar.



I also wanted to share the winner for the
 Timewashed Velvet Pumpkin Give-Away,
it's Jane from Blondie's Journal.
Yay, Congrats, Jane!!!

Let's see...Yep, I think that's it.
I had a lot of good stuff to cover.

  2. Hi Debra! Oh, what charming snaps. I love the little couple. I have made some little dolls from that family and they are called "Tildas". I've thought of making the Christmas couple but my dainty fingers have been doing other things! :) Oh, your little white tree looks so sweet. I hope I can join your Christmas home tour. Hope all is well with you and congratulations to Janie!
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ;)

  9. You have the very best shops down there in your area, Debra---I think I've said that before and one day I'll get there. That birch branch tree stole my heart. We lost a birch tree a few years ago and we still have all of the logs my husband cut as well as branches. I think I have an idea!!! And I love your white tree. Can't wait to see your new treasures.

    I want to say thank you again for having such a great giveaway, I can't believe my luck! And I sent Becky a thank you, she's very sweet.
