Red, Red & More Red....

Check it out...well actually you'll have to go over to my trailer blog to find out more about these cool towels & fabric from my pal Bev...(lil trailer icon over on the right side)....LUV IT!

My trailer camping gal pal, Tammy, found and gave me this cool Scotty mug, which by the way was made in Germany just like me....and my sweetheart of a hubby told me to get this cool tote bag....

Both are going into my Serro Scotty trailer...oh how I can hardly wait for Summer so I can go play in my trailers again.....yes, I said trailer(s)...

Check it out, My friend, Elizabeth sent me these cute red towels as she knows I love my kitties.

The black & white fabric is pre-printed labels for quilts in a cat motif,,,EllynAnne sent them to me as she also knows my passion for my kitties.

The 1966 apron pattern is from my mom as she knows I am an apronista.....

What a fun week this has been......I feel like I have won the Lottery!

Babies & Santa....

Sometimes babies & Santa are not a good mix! lol!
Soleil was less than delighted to meet the Jolly guy in the Red Suit! Phoobit on the other hand was trying to figure out who was behind that beard!

Thank goodness their mommy was smart enough to bring baby biscuits to calm them....

Oma (me) was to busy trying not to laugh so hard while taking photos of the whole event!

I sometimes think, Santa & his Elves just don't get paid enough to do this gig! lolol!
HoHoHo & Merry Christmas...

I Think I Need One of These....

How cool, a simple, no muss, no fuss grain grinder.....

It is similar to a hand crank pasta cutter but is for grinding up grains instead....no fancy fussing and no electricity,,,so if our power ever goes out I will be able to still grind grains in the dark! lol!

Why I Drink Tea @ 3

This is why I dring tea at 3pm nearly every day..... and this is after some of the snow had melted away!

I Usually drink green tea or else I will drink a black tea with a wedge of lemon,,,to help lift me up out of my Winter Dull Drums... finding a cookie or two helps as well!

I soooo miss the sun and my garden.....

Is this what they mean by the, "Winter Blues" ????

Yes, this photo was taken at 3:30P.M. (yesterday).

Apron Swap Santa!

OMG! Look what I got from Linda, my Flirty Apron Swap, swap sister.....don't pay attention to the kitty in the photo, she was just being nosey!

I placed the packages in order of the word, SANTA....each package has a "letter" attached to give me a clue as to what is in the package...

Oh Wowzers! my apron was made from found vintage fabric by Linda.

Then she crochet/knitted me a lovely snuggly green neck scarf.

I don't know if you can see the "banner" but it is soooo cool and each banner has glittered letters to spell out "Jingle" made from vintage graphics....I have seen these on various blogs & just love them.

Then there is a 3-pack of Holiday towels and yummy chocolate which I did share with my hubby.

So,

S - scarf

A - assorted chocolates

N - nostalgic graphics banner

T - tea towels

A - apron from vintage fabric....

I luv Santa! and Linda too!

Thank you both!

I have been on the look out for a vintage Mirror & brush set for quite some time....and today was my day!

Score, an old ~ 'new in the box' set,,,and the best part,,,,besides never having been used...it was made in the USA!

It was probably a gift to a mother/grandmother that was never used...how sad, but so glad that I am now the proud new owner.

The mirror is beveled mirror and the box is sort of a peach & gold color motif, with a lite blue satin lined box.

Ok, I am up to 9 Holiday aprons from apron swaps..... a gal can never have enough aprons!

I love these cute Holiday trees with the little lite pegs,,,,but I have never seen one like this, with the sweet faced children's choir..... it is dated 1983 on the bottom, so it is only 27 years old, but I love it just the same. The 'snow' covered tree is covered with glitter but did not show in the photo.

phew! what a busy day! now to maybe clean up my desk,,or not! maybe I'll just enjoy my mug of hot Amaretto & Chocolate....

Hey Santa, I have been a good girl!
