Pendelton....

I found this fantastic red Pendelton wool jacket... I scored Big Time ! I found this lovely red Pendelton wool jacket... it is in fabulos condition, and for a mere $6.00 OMG! At first I had planned to use it to cut up,,, but the more I looked it over I decided to get it cleaned & wear it insead! I can see me now, Down in Pendelton, Oregon in May (camping trip for the 'Cattle Baron's Weekend),,, wearing my koolieo red jacket....

I love Pendelton Wool anything.... coats, shirts, robes, neck scarfs, pillows, blankets, totes.... most of which I use for my Glamping trips. I even have 2 Pendelton wool robes that I store in my trailers for Glamping trips.

I recently found a blue & green plaid Pendelton shirt that I plan to cut up and make a decorator pillow out of. One of these days I want to make a wool quilt out of Pendelton wool shirts..... talk about snuggly warm! Did I mention I Love Pendelton Wool Anything!?! :>)

Apronmania...

I change out my 'Ladyquin' every month by changing her apron or her jeweley. It makes her feel special! :>)

I found this sweet vintage apron at the local Value Village Thrift Store,,, apparently it had been donated to and then bought from the local Goodwill and then found it's way to the Value Village Thrift! Well hopefully that will be it's last Thrift store visit now that it is in my possession!

On the plus side I did get it for 1/2 price of the orange tag which made it the same price as the Goodwill price... lol!

Then I found this sweet homemade 'Daises & Morning Glories' apron... It is a cute and simple pattern that I can probably copy.

I have washed & ironed both aprons and they are tucked away until Spring when I will pull them out to display in my kitchen.

It's true, an apron adorned with pearls always looks sweet!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all my dear family and friends.....

I found the perfect T-shirt to get me through the stressful moments this Holiday season of shopping, cooking, cleaning, and getting ready for family to come over both Christmas Eve & Day..... HoHoHo!

This is my Christmas gift to myself.... tho' hubby dearest just found out! oh well, he knows me well enough to know there is no controlling me or my addiction to vintage sewing machines, vintage mixers & mid-century acrylic grape clusters.

This lil Bel-Air Bantam was probablly 'born' in the mid-late 1950's and looks pretty darn good for her age! Wish I looked as good!

I got this sweet lil Bel-Air sewing machine via Goodwill Thrift and I love it! It is the size between a Singer-99, a 3/4 size and a 221K Featherweight sewing machine and equally light as it was made from cast aluminum rather than cast iron. It just needs a cleaning and oiling and soon I will be able to sew on it... Mind you, I would ever so love to get my hands on a Singer Featherweight 221 or 222,,, but at $200-300.00 I'll just continue to have fun with this machine at 1/10th the price. HoHoHo & Bingle Jells!

I Needed a Lazy Day to Read...

Days like this are perfect for reading and we have had nearly 2 weeks worth of days like this!

My wonderful co-hort in crime, Elizabeth, sent me this sweet little book... So I gave myself permission to hang out on the Davenport, in my jammies, put on a pot of tea, pull some scones from the fridge and read... and read I did, the whole book,,, in one setting!

I normally don't spend the better part of the day reading, but this sweet book was just,,, well, I just couldn't put it down! It actually made me laugh & cry,,, and I really enjoyed how it ended.

Jingle Bells!

Today was quite the fun day... got to spend it with my 2 sweet grand kiddos.. while we were bouncing off the walls..gee, I wonder if the marshmellows had anything to do with their sudden burst of energy..lol! The door bell rang and we 3 ran to see who it was.... it was our mail carrier and look what he brought us.....

OMG! the girlies were just as excited as I was to discover what was inside....

though, truth be known, I think the girlies were more interested in the box & stuffing!

Jada took off with the bubble wrap....

until she spotted the colorful popcorn.... needless to say, Oma just had to share the popcorn with her girlies...

All these Wonderful goodies were in the box....

I had entered a Blog giveaway hosted by Kristina over on the Maryjanes Farm website.... and Santa must have heard I had my fingers & eyes crossed to win...and I Did! :>)

This is the little nite lite that is normally out in my trailer but not for long....

Now this will be in my Serro Scotty trailer...... Is this CuTe or What!

Thank you so very much Santa's helper, Kristina aka 'Fieldofthyme'....

Merry Christmas to All and Jingle Bell!
