Bits and Pieces...

Well the winter holidays are upon us and it is freezing cold outside. I'm thankful for a warm cozy home. There are certain aromas that are associated with the winter and they conger up memories of Thanksgiving past. When I was a kid I didn't realize how those aromas would linger on in my  memory. I wonder if kids today will remember the sights and sounds and smells of Thanksgiving. I certainly hope so. Have a blessed Thanksgiving tomorrow and enjoy the leftovers on Friday. I love this time of year.

Just a few pictures to share with you.
 These little lamps are turning out so cute...I have several to take to the shop this week.
 A little girls ice skate in a grape vine wreath is adorable indoors or out.
 These drawers are turning out to be lots of fun to do, this one is lined with ads from a 1941 magazine and houses various kitchen items from that era and earlier.

 I've been experimenting with making sugar cones...I will be doing a blog on how and why the ladies of yesteryear made these sweet towers.
 I love these old lanterns and this one was missing the glass chimney and I was tempted to just throw it away but I saw this on Pinterest and gave it a try. It is one of those battery operated votive candles and it just fits in there. Sweet.
A little primitive gathering that was on it way to the shop and was sold before it got there. Gotta love that.

I was doing some repairs to this quilt and Suzzy decided it was a cozy place for her to take a snooze. She is so cute.
