Vintage Greetings from the Sitting Room

I was going through my photos today, putting together a "comprehensive" (ahem) Home Tour Post/s, when I realized I really hadn't shared much from the Kitchen Sitting Room. what? no, not much. I have a few things, really sort of random, but hey, isn't that what the weekend is for...?  So I'm going to combine a few new things from the KSA and a few items I've "Gathered" to share.

My Mirror on the Old Door is decorated for the Season,

with some greenery, Holly, and a feisty little Cardinal.

I had moved my moss covered "O" onto the vintage mirror

since the Boxwood Wreath replaced it in the Entry Area.

Don't Miss these Home for Christmas Features

I hope you're enjoying this week,

 I know some of us still have some things to do before next weekend gets here,

 But it's not too late to come by and Link-Up to the

Home For Christmas Link Party. 

This is a Linky Party for anyone wanting to share their Christmas Posts,

past and present.

The Link will be live until Christmas 

so come by any time and join in.

I love hosting a Link Party,

 because it gives me a chance to meet some new Bloggers,

and to reconnect with some old friends.

Here are just a few of the wonderful Links from the party so far...

My first love is Vintage,

so when I saw this oh-so-creative 

stacked box and basket Christmas Tree I totally fell in love.

Having the little Evergreen perched up there,

 made it over-the-top fun!

I thought I'd share a few more pics from our Home this Christmas,

as I'll be sharing a complete Christmas Home Tour a bit later in the week.
These are mostly room views, which I usually don't get around to taking,
but since it's Christmas, there's a little more to see.

Christmas Cloches au Natural

Hi Friends...

I thought I'd do a quick post 

and share my two Christmas Cloches

from the Dining Room.

Christmas Dining Room

I love this time of year, 

but getting dark around 4:30 can be frustrating,

especially when you're editing photos and realize

that you need just one extra shot.

I tried to make use of the lower light 

and just add a little twinkle.

So, let's take a peek at the Dining Room,

all dressed up for Christmas.

Antique Rocking Horse on the Mantel...

I thought I'd share a few more pics of my antique rocking horse

 on the mantel, that I showed yesterday in the house tour.

My Mom was telling me this week, how she and my dad answered an ad for it in the paper, around the time of my second or third birthday. This was before the age of the heavy plastic bouncing horsey on a big metal spring. I'm old, but I'm not as old as this horse so don't go making me older than I am! Mom said it was an antique when they found it, but it still had it's tail, mane, saddle and the red wooden stand that it set on. It had been stored in one of our barns, so between then and the time mom gave it back to me, the humidity, cold, (and mice) probably took it's toll.
