The 2 Santas on the elephants are hand made by a woman in Texas. These 2 are both Polish Santas. The one on the left we gave to Joe's parents and inherited it back after they both passed away. The one on the right was the first one we bought for ourselves. We have 2 more I will show you in another post.<br />

I hope you all are warmer than we are, it is freezing here. But at least we didn't get ANY of the snow that they thought we would get. For that I am grateful as I have too much to do to be stuck:) I wanted to share my gingerbread bar in the kitchen today. This is what you see as you enter the kitchen. It makes me smile every morning when I walk out to the kitchen.<br />

This gingerbread house is actually a candle holder. My Joe electrified it for me.<br />

The center house was a gift from him several years ago. I LOVE it. It has so many beautiful details!<br />

This smaller house I found at Christmas Tree Shops years ago and Joe electrified it for me too. Now they all come on together.<br />

Mrs. Claus and Santa are Byers Choice pieces as are the smaller characters. The smaller ones are called Kindles.<br />

I know everyone is probably very busy today getting ready for Thanksgiving so I appreciate your visit! I decided I wanted to do another table the other day and I think it may be my favorite! I just really love the look of this. I hope you do too! I started with a black and white checked tablecloth, then layered a faux evergreen mat, a plaid charger, our everyday Christmas dinner plate and TOPPED it off with these mini top hats!<br />

Are you almost ready for Thanksgiving? We hosted Thanksgiving for over 40 years but now our daughter has taken over. Also, Colleens birthday is Nov. 20 so always in Thanksgiving week. My son comes up from Fl. for her birthday and stays through Thanksgiving so..... I now decorate for Christmas before Nov. 20th! I am all finished! It feels so good especially because Thanksgiving is so late this year! It is only 1 month til Christmas! So, I thought I would share a little vignette I did in the breakfast room to start off my Christmas posts. Joe made 2 of these tables for me for our last house. I love having one here. I made a little grouping in a white tray and then another on one of my bread boards.<br />

I thought you might like a little tour. Even though so many have done tours early, Let's looks around!!! Welcome!!!! I don't do Halloween anymore, since we live here. We don't get any trick or treaters and I go with my granddaughter in their neighborhood now;)<br />

I have been away last week with my GREAT girlfriends to the beach. This is our annual Fall beach trip that we have done for over 40 years now!!!! We were all former neighbors, raised our kids in the development and started this trip when the kids started school. Those kids are all now married and have kids of their own! Time sure flies.<br />
But I took some shots of my front "porch", before I left to share with you but never got to it while I was away. So....WELCOME!!!!<br />

I set a new table for us for Fall. I love the colors of Fall and use them all over the house. This table is warm and cozy to us. Fall tables mean organics, textures, warm colors, and a pretty centerpiece. I used a pumpkin runner, orange place mats, a burlap charger, orange dinner plate, leafy salad plate and a pumpkin on top of the stack.<br />

I got these pumpkin rings at CTS last year and they were 4 for $6.99!!!! I saw them there again this year if anyone is interested. They are a nice quality and should last for years.<br />

We also have been having beautiful "fallish" weather, cool mornings and evenings and mid 70's during the day! PERFECT for me! I am loving it!!! Today I will share the mantle and hearth, all decked out for Fall.<br />

I usually change out the artwork for Fall but this year decided to keep it and work with it. I LOVE the combination of blue and white with orange so decorating for Fall is my favorite time!<br />

On the hearth, the elephants and lanterns are a constant. I added the small white pumpkins and the vignette in the center.<br />

The berry garland is intertwined with a leaf garland and draped over the side of the mantle.<br />

I piled some "velvet" pumpkins and a velvet acorn in my pedestal bowl. I added some berry picks and a few candle rings under the pumpkins! The large orange pumpkin sits beside it and the branch of blue pumpkins was a gift from my friend!<br />

I thought I would set a new Summer table in the dining room. As you know I keep this table set all the time as a nice greeting for our guests. The table started with these place mats that are the only new thing this year. I loved the coral and shells on the and the colors!

I have been a little lazy lately so not much has changed INSIDE, but Joe has been busy outside cleaning up the pond and he bought a new gazing ball. We both love it and it looks so pretty during the day and at night. Joe found a pot that we had that was just the right size to hold the ball. He placed something like caulk around the edge of the pot to hold it steady in there.<br />

You can't tell in the picture but at night the reflection of the waterfall makes it look like the ball is shimmering.<br />

I am sorry I have been posting so sporadically this summer but life has gotten in the way. Our family has been busy and family is number 1 for me:) I hope to get back to more regular posting now.<br />
I set a new table for us and invite you to join us! I found these place mats and napkins last week and just loved them. They have palm leaves on them and I was going to do a tropical table but then decided to go with the pastels for a light, summer look. I used my green plaid charger, a yellow dinner plate, and the pink flower salad plate.<br />

My hydrangea napkin rings (Pier 1 last year), pick up all the colors. I gathered a plain green cut work napkin with the palm leaf napkin.<br />

We were away on our family vacation last week and had a wonderful time. I did not have a chance to blog but we are back and now I will be starting to transition to some summer decor. I started with the coffee table. I also changed out the pillows on the sofa.<br />

I got this water lily plant on clearance at Target, months ago. I love it as we have the REAL DEAL right outside the window in our pond. We had 10 lilies blooming today! I forget where I got the piece of blue coral. I have had it for years!<br />

I have a couple of these floats too so thought I would incorporate them into the vignette.<br />

I am very happy. I have searched for months and months for summer bedding. I really wanted a tropical/British Colonial vibe in our room for summer. But I didn't want it too "themey"....is that a word, LOL! I finally found something I really liked. Let me know what you think.<br />

I hope you all had a nice weekend and will have a beautiful week ahead. My front porch is greeting early summer, and YOU! Welcome! As you know, I love the blue and orange combo. They are at opposite sides of the color wheel so a beautiful combination. I brought that combo outside to the "porch", in the wreath, the pots and the flowers.<br />

Looking over here to the right, I have a double hook with a hanging plant and a blue bird feeder that Joe made. It is fun to watch them eating from the dining room window:)<br />

I keep my cranes in the garage in the winter and bring them out here in the spring. The bushes were cut back in HALF and have grown like weeds. After they finish blooming we will cut them back again and MOVE them to a better location. I want something smaller here.<br />

In the urn I planted some begonias and they are doing GREAT! I also have plans to paint the urn. I am not into the black. I may add some gold to the details or just change the whole color.<br />

Thanks so much for stopping by! Our weather has been a roller coaster. We had 7 out of 11 weekends of RAIN, then this past week we had 2 days of high 80's then today it went back to the LOW 70's for the high. Crazy!</div>

Spring is my favorite season. I love seeing the grass turning green, the flowers coming to life, the trees budding them blooming. Sometimes the weather is like a roller coaster and this year it sure has been. Tons of rain and cool temps followed by summer like for a day then back to cool. But it is still a favorite season. I transitioned from Easter decor to Spring. <br />

Some of you may not have seen this new side table. Joe found it online and fell in love with it. It is made from the trunk of a tree, all one piece. I placed one of the elephants that came from India next to it, as it is carved from a single piece of wood as well.<br />

We had our (beautiful, sweet, generous, funny, loving) granddaughter all last week so I didn't get the Easter decor away til the weekend. It was a great week with lots of fun. We made lots of memories. It is fun to transition, for me. I pull out my things and find it fun to try to do something a little different every year. I also am paring down with some of my decor. So here is what I came up with for the morning room. Spring always is like a new beginning and I love the bright spring colors and decor.<br />

It is so wonderful to see the plants bursting through the soil, the trees starting to bloom, the sun shining and and the world coming back to life. It makes my heart happy.<br />
Thanks so much for your visit. I hope you are enjoying Spring, whereever you are.<br />

The other day I decided to set a new table for us and invite you to join us:) The carrot napkins started the theme here.

I put a bunch of tulips in one of my watering cans. Here is a little secret: before I added the tulips, I put a candle ring on the rim of the watering can and it holds the tulips upright.<br />

Last week my Joe found this table online and fell in love with it. So we ordered it and it came the other day. It is truly like a work of art, it is carved from a tree trunk. Let me show you:<br />

I really like it here by my chair. The elephant on top is part of a set of elephants that we inherited from my in-laws. I remember seeing them always at their house and wishing I had them. I am thrilled to have them now. They, too, are carved from a single piece of wood.<br />

I set another new table this week when I found these adorable checked chargers! I fell in love with the pink! As an aside, I stopped in there again today and got the same ones in green! They are perfect for Spring and Summer! I started with a green, Easter tablecloth, added the runner that I love, and went from there.<br />

I gathered a floral napkin and a yellow one, both colors on the runner. I added the bunny to a plain white ceramic ring, with museum putty. Love that stuff!<br />

I hope Spring has sprung where you are.....it is TRYING here, just not quite there yet. Easter is so late this year but the bunnies have hopped right into my kitchen to keep me company while I cook. Let's look around. I like to keep a vignette on this corner of the breakfast bar and right now it is this arrangement that I made along with 2 beautiful bunnies that were a gift from my daughter, years ago.<br />

As you know I always have a lamp on this side of the sink along with a few other pieces. The birdhouse lamp is a favorite and I placed a bunny in a cloche and another bunny in front of the lamp.<br />

To the left of the sink is my dish liquid and this bunny planter. I gave this planter to my Aunt Bunny when I was a young girl....so that's MANY years ago. We lived with her and she was like a second Mother to me. I love having this.<br />

I gave my daughter a few bunnies and other decor this year but I still have plenty! Those of you who have been following me for awhile know that my Joe built me this hutch, when we lived in the last house. I have thought about painting it but it would break his heart so it will stay like this:) A collection of some of my baskets surround it on the wall.<br />

My large Faux chocolate bunny came from K Mart many years ago. She is so pretty. The chocolate egg with chocolate eggs also came from K Mart. The cement bunnies are perched on a cement stand.<br />

And, HAPPY SPRING!!!!! I am so glad it is officially Spring as I am DYING to get outside and do some gardening! I have to admit that I just LOVE bunnies! When you come into my house you can tell, I have a pretty large collection of them:) I love to decorate the mantle and hearth with them for Easter! I got a set of 5 LED candles at Costco. They have a timer and a remote which I love! You will see them lit further down in the post.<br />

I made an arrangement of white tulips and blue berry stems in another blue and white vase. Next to it is a large bunny from Pier 1 and the egg opens and is a candle. It was a gift from my daughter's sister-in-law.<br />
