The glasses are the perfect size to keep in the freezer and fill with icy coldness when you're ready.

And I love the funny sayings - Save Water Drink Morè Beer, or In Dog Years I've Only Had One.

These are reasonably priced, great quality pieces - for yourself, or someone you love.

And I've found a couple of signs that share the same humor.

I love these banners!  They're lightweight enough to hang almost anywhere, we put them in the tree but they also look great on a tablescape, in a wreath, hanging from a porch light outside.

It took about 4 hours, 3 people, and 500 ornaments to decorate this tree.

Here's the tree all lit up at night.  Pretty wonderful!

We had our 2nd great Holiday Open House of the season, at Re-Find Living (the first was at Not Too Shabby last Friday night) last night.  There was a wonderful turnout of customers, special thanks to our fantastic DJ's Chris & Nate of On The Mic!  

I got to sleep till 9 the next morning.  It was so nice!  I started to feel like a normal human.  Had a great afternoon at NTS, fluffing trees & our Thanksgiving section.

Then I had all day Sunday off.   So I decided to sleep late, relax, go for a walk and spend time in the kitchen.  All things I've been missing over the last few months.  

When we walked at the park, it was a little chilly, perfect fall weather.  We surprised a flock of turkeys, and I caught this white one.  

I spent the afternoon making this Hearty Tuscan Soup.  I found the recipe on Pinterist and it was so easy!  Plus it used up all of my farm box vegetables.  Lot f leftovers to cover the week.  

Sam came home on Sunday night for a short visit.  We had the whole family together!  A great re-charging weekend.

Hope you had a great weekend too!

We actually moved our Chalk Paînt® decorative paint by Annie Sloan paint cabinet so the tree could be against our painted wall, waxed, and gilded wall. I think it really shows off the beautiful silver and gold of the tree.

Pam (aka our Master Fluffier of Trees) spent almost 2 hours fluffing this tree.  Then I added about 10 strings of lights.

Then we turned Toby & Vicky loose with 6 Rubbermaid boxes of ornaments & garland.  

I think they worked 3 hours to create this beauty.

I told the girls it reminded me of a Southern Belłe's dress.  So we named it Scarlett.

*sigh!

Simply lovely.

And so much more...
