Moose or Mouse? rescued from Christmas's past.....

 This Fall at a yard sale

 I picked up this box of Christmas goodies not knowing what treasures

I was in store for well this little handmade ornament was at the bottom

of the box.....so moose or mouse?

Indeed this little fellow from the 70's is you guessed it

Moose poop......how gross!

but kind of cute, right?

 I loved these little girls with there polka dot hoods!

 Remember these I was about 9 back in the 70's and we had a 

babysitter one night and she was working on one of these ornaments.

I think they are so pretty and this box was full of them.

Some Christmas items should be left behind (moose poop) but these

I'm glad got rescued!

I hope your all having a wonderful week also!

A Winter Wonderland.......Inside and out!

 Remember this Fall when I mentioned I found a 

Flocked Christmas tree at a yard sale.....

 I must say.....What a mess these are to put up!!!

 My shiny brites look so pretty on it.

 I have been working on Christmas for 2 days now.....

 and I regret not waiting till Monday when the kids were 

back in school....

 So were in a mess till then.....

 Mimi and I went for a walk the other day with a friend and

with our temps just above zero or below....

 We froze, all of our hair was frosted

I kept telling her if you see an icicle  at the end of my

nose please tell me.....

Everything looks frosted..... So Beautiful!

Happy Decorating to all of you!

I'm off to see what you have been up to....

A few trips to Homer....and a Super long post!

 I have taken pictures on every trip to Homer and have wanted to share

them with you forever.....so here go's 4 trips worth!

It all started this Fall....

 I went through the local art galleries

look at this beadwork!

 I loved this artist work and his story was amazing, 

I'll share it with you another time.

 this artist made me think of Nadine.

 of course I'm always drawn to the pretties....

 this next artist 

 how sweet are these faces.....

 Then from those sweet faces to these.....

 creatures from bizarro world   

(they are really cool, I must admit)

 Look at this rack of vintage 

of course I thought of Kitty and Dee

 Tip no. 1 remember sunglasses.....Cory came to the rescue.

 These are from my trip down this past Saturday....

 such a cold but pretty day...

 This barge looked so close....

 These are pictures from the spit.

and this little water hole is quite the stop

in the summer. 

well it use to be ,now the Deadliest Catch gift shop 

has stolen a little of its thunder....

I hope you enjoyed your little visit through one of 

my favorite little towns in Alaska.

I have been a little Piggy!!!!

 I can't wait to show you all my 

Christmas treasures I have found lately.

How CUTE are these little mugs.....

 Little cutie pie!

 This sweet little musical box.

 I love these little presents and garland for Mimi's doll house.

I loved this pink safety pin tree......

I was telling a friend the other day I have been like a little piggy at the trough

at the thrift stores......wait till I show you all my ornaments!!!

I'm so glad some of you have started decorating also......

Don't forget to buy the new Starbucks Christmas cd

A few re-do's and ........

 Remember my thrifted lamp a couple weeks ago.

 I never cared for the shade 

 So when I found this one.....I thought it would be perfect!

 Well my knobs came

 What do you think?

 I'm still thinking about it!

 I made some rolls for Phil today.....I need to stay out of them!

at this point I still have.

 I just was saying this morning I hadn't seen a moose for a while in 

the yard.....and then

 this little bull came for a visit.

I wanted to show you the snow this morning

as we walked to the bus its dark now

but  peaceful.....
