Some pretty eye candy!!

This was a lady on Rate My Space, she said her home was featured in a Holiday Tour of Homes! I can see why! Last picture is her back porch! How clever (if you live where it's not cold & snowing)!

Yachter, you weren't kidding about the eye candy. It's all so beautiful, and I love that there's an outdoor fireplace too. I've got a pastry chef Santa similar to the ones pictured. Got him at Kohl's at 60% off!

thank you so much for posting those pictures! They are wonderful.

We're in the thinking & planning stages of building onto our outdoor patio and I'm going to insist on installing a nice gas fireplace out there!! All those pictures are so nice. I love her indoor fireplace mantel too.

THANK YOU ALL! It's good to see that some of you are still around! It seems that Planet Claire and Spirit Fox are the favorites here. So I'll post a couple more pics of them for those of you who liked them. (good choices, btw...they're favorites of mine too). Thanks again everyone! Celeste PLANET CLAIRE, again SPIRIT FOX (showed this one before but some may have missed it)

I'm doing good for an 80 year old. Do not spend much time on garden web since the changes. I'm into African Violets now. I have two shelf units-5 shelves each. I do the RRs for leaves and have about 50 now. My hoya are outside on the patio under the roof. Get some rain when the wind blows. I've sore of neglected them. I love when they bloom though. We sit outside in the evening and the fragrance is beautiful. I wished they bloomed more often than once a year. I may bring some inside and put some of the smaller leaved ones on a shelf instead of the violets. I am on Facebook more than here on Gardenweb. I can't get used to all the changes. It was easier before because i had tabs for the hoya forum, african violet forum, and the cactus forum. Now I just go to African violets and only when we are active in a RR, which is now. Most of the violet people went to facebook. Such is the times, changing, changing. Good to see you are still with the hoya. Keep up the great work.

Fun2, don't give up on Pinterest. Its really easy to navigate once you get the hang of it and then you can avoid a lot of repetition. And don't forget there is a search box you can find things you want to look at. I'm so photo obsessed, that place is like a candy store to me. LOL. Punk, please don't be sad. I don't want to make you feel like that. Valentine's was never a holiday I particularly liked, as Candy noted about our respective DH's and them not having a romantic bone in their bodies!! ;o) I got into decorating for it only because of the gang here. But its just not that enjoyable for me. I don't have a lot of Valentine stuff luckily, so its no big deal to find it a good home. (tho I don't dare take it to Goodwill, I'd be dumb enough to buy some of it back. LOL) As for my bunnies...I think I mentioned one time that I probably have around 200 in my collection. Trust me, I won't miss a lot of them!! I want to pare down to those that I really love or are special to me. None of my kids are collectors, or holiday decorators (except Christmas) cause they are too busy in their lives right now. So I can't dump my stuff on them. Darn it. Party, thank you. Sounds like you understand. With me having so many collections and so much stuff, lately I am just feeling like its taking over my house and life. I would like to pare some things down a bit, tho I am the type of person who will always have 'too much' stuff. LOL. I'm glad y'all enjoyed that Pinterest board of mine. Jane, how are things going there? Besides frustrating! I will add photos quite often if you want to check my board occasionally. And yes, Punk, some of the pix are from our Forum's inspiration albums. Thought I should share the talent and creativity with Pinterest followers. Tho I need to look up names and give credit. I know one of the Val. pictures is Luv's. ;o) I see that the wonderful tablescape with the big bunnies down the middle was a hit with you guys too. I thought that was so neat, and the yarn was quite an interesting base for them. I tend to 'pin' cloche decor often as I do love that especially. (Punk, you need a mantel and a cloche!!) And no Candy, I don't want to disappoint Teegan. LOL. Heaven forbid. She's wearing a red blouse, does that count for Valentine's? ;o) (Fun2, you may have noticed a couple of us "ol gals" play with dolls. And we have Jeanne and her DollBaby to blame for it!! She started it....) hugs, Karen

Oh, a dough bowl has been on my 'want' list for a long time! (just like the sugar mold candleholder 'used' to be). Looks very Fallish & the pillars w/it, too! TFS, PM. Jeanne S.

Okay, the bar just went up a notch! LOL. Wow,love the mantle and the outdoor scene, how clever. I have a candyland theme in my kitchen also and have the Santa & Mrs. Claus bakers. Love the cake stands w/ goodies. I'm so glad I found this forum, so many creative people in this world. I tell my children that the world would be very boring and dull without all of the 'artists' in the world.

OH, I know, this blew me away, she did have her tablescape posted too, but the picture was so dark, you really couldn't see anything.

I might go browsing again later, if I get a nap first!!!

Ok, these pics now have me on the hunt for a Chef Santa for next year for my kitchen counter! I could not stop thinking about it after posting these pics.

If anyone knows where I can find one, or sees one, let me know!!!

I know, Karen would love the nutcrackers!!

I MUST find one, just love her counter, wish she had posted more of it!!

Wonderful eye candy, it looks like she has a beautiful home too. I collect nutcrackers too, I think they always fit in with Christmas decor, when I lived in Germany you saw them everywhere!

OH MY GOSH...y'all knew her Nutcrackers would set me off.
WOW. Her decor, not to mention that stunning and dramatic fireplace, blew me away. I wish I could decorate that beautifully. Her Christmas kitchen is darling, and the outdoor area is also pretty wonderful. But I can't stop looking her big fireplace.

Can you post link so I can see the tablescape? Sometimes I can play with a picture in photobucket and lighten things up while putting the contrast and hues back in.

hugs, Karen

Garderner1908, thanks for the suggestion, I was a BAD GIRL today, guess I bought my own xmas presents. I went to Home Goods & they had a plethora of chef santa's and I could not decide so I bought 3 of them.

Then I went to T.J. Maxx and they had more! I ended up buying another one there!

Alert! Hobby Lobby has all their mirrors, that you put in middle of table, round, square & octagon, half price, reg. $6.99. Also, all glass wear, domes, cloches etc..50% off!

Karen, here is the linky!!!
