Since I'm home early from the hosp tonight, to 'unwind', I grabbed a moment to post a few more pics I took two wks ago.

Pictures taken in the LR...

Writing Desk...

The old photo is of me and my DF taken one Christmas 'in the olden days' - As my Gkids call it.

This little ornament was too sweet to hang, so I thought I'd give her some special attention. I placed her in a hurricane and added a snowflake and some powdered snow.

Coffee Table with one of my favorite tea cups and Christmas Book.

Some 'Christmas Past' photos. The large Santa was a gift yrs ago from DD from Petals.. You might remember him from last yr, in a Tablescape.

Hope you enjoyed looking..

I have some more pics and will try to post again tomorrow

night.

I really enjoyed, Jane! Glad you had some moments to come here & unwind...sitting at hospitals is not fun at all!

Love how you use your pics & books & candlelight! Everything is so warm, comfy & inviting. I like how you gave that girl ornie a special place in the hurricane & the touches you put with her! Your writing desk looks wonderful...those little dolls with the Christmas book...& a precious photo of you & DD!

Your Christmas past photos & that Santa are beautifully displayed on that lovely glass-topped table with lace. TFS tonight & take good care of yourself, Jane...hugs to you. Jeanne S.

Jane,

Everything is so nostalgic! I love to see photos integrated into holiday decor--that picture of you two with Santa is precious. I love the Christmas books and the "Cup of Christmas tea." That is so inviting.

Think of all the wonderful memories you are making for your Gkids...and remember to take care of yourself

Jane, I thought I'd commented last night...apparently it was only in my mind, LOL. I think the way you used the little red bench is totally delightful! When I saw the photo, I thought it was really a little fireplace DH made for your display. (guess it is,now, LOL) He has a wonderful collection of old toys, and he's so darn creative with stuff he makes! Whatta Guy!! I really like the old truck with the trees in the back of it. And what a find in that $3 paper mache! I see lots of vintage Christmas paper mache stuff listed on eBay and its seldom inexpensive. Must be real collectible! The desk display is very pretty. Everything looks so good, and I have looked at it half a dozen times already. I really enjoy the stories or history of things, and never get enough of that. Those of you with traditions, or old family heirlooms, are so very lucky and I can't help but envy that. Christmas should be full of nostalgia and memories. I'm so glad I get to share yours. hugs, Karen

Yes, they are beautiful children! The earlier comment about how you can see why they are so beautiful by looking at the parents reminded me of a scene in NCIS where some of the folks were using a computer program to see how a child produced by Gibbs and the director would look :-)

It's not the best paint, but it has gone on nicely. It's Valspar, from Lowe's, in a Martha Stewart color "Picnic Table Red, MS 003". The upper walls and ceiling are "Spool, MS 093", and the trim will probably be "Lemon Chiffon, MS 113". I have a couple tiny streaks to touch up in the red corners and the walls are finished! Today we've began painting in the "Sewing Room." DH is priming the ceiling right now. This room will be light and airy; it has two sunny windows, and will be painted with Benjamin Moore's Lavender Ice for the walls and Yellow Freeze for the ceiling.

nodakgal, you're right about their age. They turned 3 on the 23rd. Steph, the power is in the foot pedal and there is a stick shift for changing from reverse to forward (2 speeds). There is also an FM radio and dash lights and a voice that says "back up" when they touch something in front of them. After they backup a little bit the voice will tell them to go forward. LOL They are really cute. Oh yes, they also have seat belts.

Thanks Jeanne..it was good to come here and 'escape' a little tonight. Your're right about just sitting in the hospital - not being fun.
You've got a good eye to see the lace on that glass table.
It actually was a table cloth from my DGM's DR table. -my Dad's mother. She used it on her Very Large DR table and as a little girl, I just loved it. Over the yrs, being washed and washed, it has shrunk down to a much smaller size - even though it 'puddles' on the floor, it's just perfect for that table.. I love it for all the wonderful memories it brings, of a once very large Italian Family enjoying the Holidays together and wonderful meals.

Totally agree with everyone else's comments. You have a knack for making even the littlest things look beautiful. You have lots of nice greenery/berry sprigs that look so nice tucked in cups and things. Your decor always looks so "classy". Great job! Thanks for sharing with us and I hope you were able to get a good night's sleep. Luvs

Jane, the decorations are so calming, I love them!

Could I ask you to do me a huge favor? I have a sitting room with white beadboard on the bottom of the wall, and the same color paint as your's on top.

Can I see how you've decorated your whole room and the colors you use?

I'll be gone for almost 24 hours starting later, so you don't have to do it THIS minute. lol
