It's beginning....

We have a lot of snow on the ground and it looks like we are in for more...I guess Winter is here. I've been busy in the workshop...some of the items are already in the shop but here are the pictures of those waiting to be transported.

Just in case I forget what's going on outside ....this reminds me.


 These are the only snowmen I make ...they last longer and I stay warm...
This is my Dad's rocker...he would sit in it when he got tired working at the garden, the bird house is one he made for me forty years ago, it's not fancy but it is functional. I plan on using it on the front porch in a purely decorative manor. For Christmas I'm thinking of using a galvanized bucket filled with natural greens and sit it in a grapevine wreath.
 These items have been taken to the shop in Grayling for the 37th. annual Christmas walk, which, by the way, started the year we moved up here...
 I  think I may have missed one or two  years of walking the walk, last year I stayed at the booth because my knee was acting up and I couldn't walk for very long.  This year I was at the booth for a while then my family and I walked the whole walk...it was a beautiful and cold night but I was warmed by having my family around me.  There were 12 of us and we managed to stay together most of the time, it was a fun night.

So, I finished the floor cloth that I was working on and  I'm considering putting it in one of the booth to see if there is any interest in this sort of thing. I love mine and have had no problems with them, I have wood floors and they stay where I put them, they are easy to keep clean and add a touch of color to the area where they are used . I will let you know if I am bombarded with orders for floor clothes.

Well, I guess I've rambled on for long enough so I calling this the end of this post.

Have a blessed weekend...

Seasons...

I'm really not the kind that likes to skip Thanksgiving and jump into "The Christmas Season"... but, if I want to sell my stuff I have to have it out there early, so I will be posting a few pictures of Winter/Christmas decorations. Here's the first.

My version of a shabby chic sled....
                                                            ...and a shabby chic lamp...wish you could see the shadows this lamp casts on the ceiling and walls.

 Sorry about all the clutter in the picture.
                                                               
These are on their way out the door to find new homes...hopefully, soon.   

                                                        My tin angel has found a new resting place in the front hall...not sure how long she will stay there but I enjoy seeing her as I pass by during the day,
 The flameless candle is on a timer and shuts off after six hours...I really like that.

Well, that's all for this time...

From my Porch to Yours...

Have a blessed week.
