Christmas Feet!! Two sisters picked out the same shoes. It's funny....sometimes they are nothing alike (see tattoo!) and sometimes they are more alike than they'd like to admit.
Three of the Four Sisters! We wish you a very Happy Holiday from our Happy Home!
Time is ticking and my holiday duties are not complete. Today I must bake treats for my neighbors and friends.....and one fast baker I must be! I must also fit in a doctor's appointment and meeting with friends at 5 and picking up daughter #2 from airport at 10:30. Another party tomorrow evening at my husband's boss's house and I haven't yet shopped for groceries for our big Christmas Eve Seafood Fest. Well, if I wasn't always running around like a chicken with my head cut off, everyone who knows me would wonder what was wrong with me. :-) Old habits die hard. I'm off! (in more ways than one) :-)
So, since I had to drive to central Phoenix yesterday to deliver the mosaic mirror, I thought that I should treat myself and stop in at some of my favorite places. One of my favorite junk places is Q-Cumbers....and it is junky!! Well, look what I came across. This beautiful aqua piece of furniture. I called my husband, who works just up the street, and said I found my Christmas present. Boy was he relieved! I make him crazy at Christmas time, because I always say that I don't need anything or I say just get me some junk. Cuz I like JUNK!!!!! :) I told him that there was no need to wrap it. I'll just pretend that it isn't there. (yeah, right)
Then, I stopped into one of the most beautiful boutiques in Phoenix called Melrose Vintage. I love this place!! It's pretty pricey, but ooooh the eye candy!! They have the most beautiful displays. I'm thinking about asking them if they would carry a few of my mosaic items. We'll see. Anyway, while I was there, I picked up these Wendy Addison glass glitter letters. I'm glad I did too, as they told me that they're being discontinued. So, if you want some, you'd better get out there and get them. I also picked up some beautiful scrapbook paper and I'll show you later what I'm doing with it. I got the idea from the boutique and it is FABULOUS!!! Well, time to get busy. I still have lots to do for the holidays. Take care!
Here is the mosaic mirror that I've been working on. A client ordered it for her daughter's bathroom. Isn't it just lovely?!! These colors will go perfectly with the shower curtain that she purchased for the bathroom. The home that this mirror will be going to is absolutely "to die" for! The owners bought it awhile back and have been refurbishing it. When I visited, there was alot of construction work going on in the house, but you could already see how FABULOUS it is going to be.
So, I thought I'd share some more holiday decor with you, as I scramble to get the mosaic mirror done. Tsk, tsk, rush, rush!! Anyhow....I'm a big fan of Patience Brewster and her Krinkle's line. I first saw her, years ago, in MaryEngelbreit's Home Companion. I am a big fan of whimsy, so of course, I fell in LOVE with her creations. The Fairy Princess and the Poinsettia Girl are from her line. I'm also a big fan of Season's from Cannon Falls. They sell the wares of Wendy Addison, Nicole Sayer, Tracy Porter and many others. The snowman, bottle brushtrees, and the little red bird are from Season's and the little cream colored star is a Nicole Sayer. I just LOVE it ALL!!! So much FUN!!!
Well, the first little cupcake is on it's way to a new home. I'll miss it, as I usually do with all of the goodies I send to other's homes. However, I do know that it will be well taken care of! :)
