You hit a jackpot shopping! Those Carolers especially! I really like the deer ornament, and also the bronze colors. The chickadee painting is delightful. I love those birds tho haven't even seen a REAL one. Next to Cardinals, they really say Winter to me. (probably why the real ones don't like Phoenix, LOL). That heart box looks like it would be made of marble? I know that was popular as a stone type thing for decorative boxes of all kinds. And so many colors with it too. Yours is sure pretty! Oh, meant to tell you, I saw some little Kissing Angels on Etsy that I think are like yours. Actually I just looked for link to show you, and when I searched kissing angels there are a LOT on there. Wow. So here's the link to that page just for fun to see the different variations of them. They must have been real popular during that period! hugs, Karen Here is a link that might be useful: kissing angels

Prosperity, I just had an idea for an easy way to do a wreath. Take some black fabric, tear it in strips three or four inches wide. Now take your scissors and cut from one side only 3/4 of the way to the other side to make a "fringe". Wrap the strip of fabric around the wreath fluffing up the "fringed" part as you go. Secure with straight pins or hot glue. Might not be quite as "fluffy" but would still be cute. You could also just glue something like spanish moss or the shredded paper used for gifts, give it a couple light coats of black spray paint, and you would have a "fluffy" wreath too! Now you all know why I can't sleep well some nights--the brain just keeps churning out "crafty" ideas! LOL Cindy, I hope you find your scissors. I think the little ones would love them. Actually, you could just have straight sides too and it would be fine. It's the eyes and bow and shape that make them cute. Have fun. Luvs P.S. I don't like the ones I did with the glittered edges. The plain ones just seem "nicer" to me.

MM>> I'm sorry to hear about the wind storm your way and your decorations getting blown around. Hopefully all will be in place again by Halloween. We had a Nor'Easter that whipped thru here last week, but I managed to bring in the tomb stones before it hit. Nice Halloween Table.. Your color combination is very striking especially with those plates and chargers...I like how everything looks. Each time I see that Candleholder on your Sideboard I'm thinking of how nice it looks and that it's such a different piece. Your little Ghosts and creepy orange spiders (only cause their fake)..look cute and your T Lamp is just beautiful. Did you have that made custom with the dog pic on it? When I saw your squirrel jar...I said '@$#@'.. you see not that I don't like it...I think it's adorable...it's just that I saw one Exactly like it at a consignment shop last month, and passed it up due to > (stupid mood day)..and seeing yours, you can imagine how I feel now! :( jane

Karen, if these kids aren't enough to melt ones heart! They are both so precious. It would be fun to get a picture of them together all dressed up. DGD is beautiful too. Tis so true, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in more ways than 1. Love mini jaz, da witch and plate of candy corn.So cute... As for your new finds, WOW! Both are perfect and so you. I love chickadee's. Have you noticed that gray is one of the most popular wall colors right now? Would sure go well in my DR.haha I've had mine painted gray for so long it's time to move on. Now to find the painter!LOL The new bunny bowl is so neat and will jump right in with your Easter decor. You have so many wonderful rabbits and I love seeing them. I keep thinking I'm going to tie a Christmas ribbon on some of mine and enjoy but never do. If I wasn't ready to run out the door again I'd think about doing just that.haha Punk
