The Pillow Junkie strikes again...


My pillow addiction 
has been raising it's head this Christmas Season.
Everyone's getting a pillow it seems,
and are you like me...?
If you buy something for someone it's because you love it too?


...and then sometimes you have to get one for yourself?
Bad habit, I know!



But, this "Robins in the Holly "pillow,
 just would not leave me alone this year!


Besides, I had the perfect spot for it on the old white church pew.


Here it is in a Pottery Barn photo


The other two are sold out,
but I think the robins are still available,
and on sale!
and pssssst, it uses a standard bed pillow form.

just sharin' the Holiday fun!

see ya tomorrow for:

A Little Cream and Sugar with that Tree?


A few years ago, after both of the girls were married, I went through all the Christmas ornaments and separated them for their own family Christmas trees.  Then, when I started in the flea market biz a while back I began collecting silver and gold Shiny Brites. I love the ones with scenes or that are embossed. But to really make a little yuletide "sparkle", I gathered my vintage sugars and creamers and hung them alongside on the Living Room Tree.



I love the contrast between the burlap and the "woodsy" feel
with the silver, golds, and sparkly.
I guess you could call it my "Magpie Tree".
( A bird who finds shiny treasures and brings them back to the nest)










Glittered snowflakes of several varieties


My favorite, number "3"


A Snowbaby from my mom.




Found silver baby cup



and some nature and woodland creatures












This tree is a contrast to my Dining Room tree
 that's loaded with lots of color and vintage Putz Houses and Churches.





I think I'm about "done" with the decorating,
Now, I'm just trying to slow down and enjoy the Season.
