The Marketplace: Are you checking your list?

Hi Everyone!

We're into the second week of December and we're counting the days to Christmas. Let's see, wow, only two weeks! We were out of town last week, and now I feel sooooo far behind, but I think I'm always running "behind" this time of year. Do you have your lists out and are you checking them twice? If you still need some gifts or special Christmas decor, then you've come to the right place. Here are a few great links from last week.

Christmas House Tour 2012

I wanted to join in with a few of the Holiday Home Tours this year, so this will be a mini house tour in "broad strokes". I have lot's of fun "details" coming of the house decorating this year, but since I haven't been able to get to them, I'm just showing larger views of the rooms in this post.. You'll be able to see a little of what I've been up to, but look forward to a little more coming soon.

Here's the Dining Room.

 Living Room

Just a sneak peek of the sunporch

The Entry Hall

Hallway Sidboard

and these next two are from the kitchen, last year

 I'ts about the same this year,

 but the day I did this post I was packing for out of town
and the kitchen's still not photo ready...

Besides, I want to share a few new things this year,

so hopefully you'll want to come back.
