Small Changes

Although loving Christmas decorating, I can honestly say I'm glad the house is returning to its normal state. One day of after Christmas shopping turned up these finds.

 This ornament was half price.

I hung it in the kitchen window for a daily inspiration.

 

 

 

 

According to the antique shop owner, a large lot of letters came from an old Memphis school that was torn down. I chose the "S" for Sandy and the "C" for Corkey or for our last name Clowes. Two for ten dollars seemed like a fair price. Anyway loving letters the way I do, they came home to a place of honor on the mantel.

 

 

 

I hope to work on my booth this week. I added a corner cabinet and another shelving unit to my space. These were two pieces my daughter didn't take to Austin. Now that the two sewing machines have sold I need to round up some furniture replacements . Maybe my next post will take you on a visit to the booth.

Love this date!

On this day in 1978 I experienced wonder and love as son Ryan was born. Thirty-two years later his birthday brings back all the joy and excitement of that momentous day. Although we live far apart the modern marvel of cell phones enabled us to talk today and share some precious minutes. That's my personal reason for loving this date. 

It was also a great feeling to vote today.  I'll be watching election returns later tonight.  

Halloween decorations are back in storage so I've been rearranging objects.

Thanks for your November visit. Come again.   

Checking In

Thought I'd check in to say hello. I like
the saying on the circular wood piece.
It's a good reminder that rests on a small coffee table in the den.

I decided on a place for my C letter. It's perched on a book stack on a living room end table. Have a great week! We're still waiting for fall weather.
