christmas pillows

 Christmas pillows --

mine are at least twenty years old 

and accompanied by fond memories

of stuffing and stitching them along with a friend who stitched her own pair.

They still "fit" my simple Christmas decorations.

No need to get new ones...

(I enjoy seeing all of YOURS, too--

old and new.)

old games

Rummaging through the game cupboard,

I found this one - an old one.

Suitable for two to play, it filled some "down" time 

over the past holiday weekend.

Sometimes OLD games are the BEST games.

another one

 This smaller tree sits comfortably beside our vintage couch.

I chose to decorate it in blues to pick up the various shades of blue

that appear here and there in the room.

I especially enjoy the gentle, quiet light of this tree

in the evenings when darkness descends so early.

already

For a couple more seasonal scenes

and an brief explanation,

come on over to my other blog.

in praise of inexpensive lipstick

 

Dollar General carries wet n wild lipstick. 

I've found it as satisfactory as much-more expensive brands

(not that I'm an expert, but I've tried several others).

It seems to last longer on my lips than some others,

doesn't dry them out,

and I'm pleased with this color.

"Why not?"  I ask myself!

talking turkey

 Spent an hour or so bringing out turkey

and figuring out what part of Halloween to keep out!

 Actually, I don't have so much to add

and very little to subtract.

 Here are a few of the additions..

 Mostly, I enjoy the colors and the season..

(Oh...yes.  That IS dust you see here and there!)
