Happy New Year.....cheers to small changes!!!

 I was putting away Christmas in the family room this last week
in what used to be the store and I can't believe I have been
closed over a year now.....
 I used to love changing out displays and I got to thinking I still
do quite a bit of that just around the house.....so really
not having the shop turned out to be a small change.
September
 the apples make their first debut....
 October
 Nov/December
 January
 I used to make New Years resolutions but they fell
by the wayside a few years ago......maybe because
I never kept them!
 My little pears and Lemons made by the PY company
in Japan were so excited to get out of the cupboard.....
 I used to have my kitchen filled with these happy faces till the 3 men in my
life put there foot down and said the eyes all over the kitchen were
starting to bother them.....
 I just love them....
 this picture turned out a little blurry....
To the Happiest 2012 to come
filled with small changes I pray that will
grow to big Changes instead of the other way around!!!

Happy New Year!

    I just love all your displays, exactly the sort of things I like best myself.I love the faces, the apples are really cute. I have a small collection of 1930s cups,lemon squeezers etc with similar faces but rarely come across them.

    Oh Heidi,

    your collections are unbelieveable! All this beautiful enamelware - I can´t believe it. All these colours. But the very best are the apples - have never seen such cute porcelain before. The faces are so funny - I´m absolutely in love with. Why we don´t have such funny things here in germany? I laughed loudly because you wrote your men think the little faces are starring at them.

    A little bit late (because I have a very bad cold since friday together with a migraine) but I don´t want forget to wish you and your family a beautiful, luckily and healthy new year.

    Now I will have a look over your last posts.

    lovely greetings, Tanja
