A Survey: When Do You Put Up Your Christmas/Holiday Decorations??
Comments (42)Small town life sounds good to me. As does living in the country. We had a few acres when I had horses and other animals back in the 60s and 70's. Phoenix is soooo big, too much traffic, and I hate driving even if it didn't cause my leg to go on the warpath. I was born in a small town, in Ala. I don't really going places alone either, and won't go out at night except to family gatherings at one of my kids. I'm waiting the arrival of my toile plates I just bought. Tho heaven knows what I can find to do with them, but will try just because of all the support I've gotten here. Any table settings I do will be just for ONE, maybe two if you're lucky. LOL. I'm going to be a one-trick pony, sorry about that. I just can't do full tables for many reasons. I've been 'planning' my Christmas decor. Really planning this year. Thought it might take some of the load off me being so over-whelmed with it when I go to unpacking a zillion things in the middle of the floor while telling two cats NOT to help me. A zillion times! One sleepless night I started plotting different places to put things this year. I want my newly begun collection of Nutcrackers (started last year) pretty much together. But I think the purple one should go with the Santa. And I have two golf Santas and two golf Nutcrackers that should stay together. Last year they were with my two other special Nutcrackers, a policeman and a fireman. These have a lot of meaning! I'm going to put my Village in the antique china cabinet in my entry hall this time I think, instead of Painted Pony Cabinet in familyroom. Tho I still have to move over a 100 statues from BOTH. I was thinking of putting Xmas horses and reindeer in the pony cabinet. I have quite a few of both now. Anyway, its fun to mentally decorate. It also doesn't wear me out or hurt my body. LOL. I think I'll start my Village next week in fact. First I have to make room for all those dog statues to safely go on closet shelves for the next two months! Ugh. hugs, Karen...See MoreWhere do you put small decorative tables??!
Comments (5)It looks sort of Persian or Indian. If so, it could be that it is meant to be used as a side table, but comes from an area where furniture/cushions are normally closer to the ground. Do a search on "tabouret" to find similar small tables. They were very popular in the Arts and Crafts period. We have one for DH to use by his chair as a drink table. It is small and fits the space well as there is no room for a true end table....See MoreWhen do you put out your spring decor?
Comments (22)Wow, do you move those outside? The deer would eat them in 1 night here. We got a foot of snow yesterday, so who knows when the daffodils will start coming up. I can't wait to get my "new" old porch furniture out. I really don't do anything else for spring decorating. I have 3 cute little snowmen on my kitchen window sill - whenever the snow melts I guess I'll replace them with (wooden) flowers. I have a brown thumb when it comes to houseplants - just killed an azalea I've had since b4 Xmas - though I swear I watered it when everyone was sick, all of a sudden it just shriveled up!...See MoreWhat do you put on your new granite counter tops?
Comments (15)We just had our template done yesterday so I won't have granite for another 2 weeks or so but I'll probably do something similar to what I've done in the past. I have a clear glass bowl that I keep lemons and limes in (I use lemons a lot in cooking) I also have a paper towel holder and my my coffee pot out and usually a small potted plant on the sunny part of my counter. I cannot live without having my cookbook out so I have a decorative plate stand that I use for it (see link below). The majority of my cookbooks are stored over my range in the cupboard and I have to drag a chair over...so instead I've compiled my most frequently used recipes into one book and it sits on the counter. Here is a link that might be useful: plate stand similar to the one I use for my cookbook...See Moreneesie
