Monica loves Mika's banners...
Mika loves Monica.

Have you ever seen a black snowman?
We love them!
Monica bought them from LaurieAnna's Vintage Home~
Another fun tablescape...
Look very close at the photos of the plates...
they are the "foot-prints" of Monica and Bob's grandchildren.
This is Will's "foot-print" at age 6 yrs.
Rhett's at 11 months.
Conleigh's at 5 months.
And the "grandchildren's" plate...
That little "vintage" Santa was found at an estate sale this past summer in New London, Texas.
Polar bear from LaurieAnna's Vintage Home...
"vintage" Santa mug filled with peppermint sticks...
I bought Monica this mug and 3 others at an estate sale this past summer in Henderson.
They are called "hot chocolate" mugs.
We love the curtains!!
They are from~
You can buy them on-line.
Loving Christmas Wishes....
Living room tomorrow.
I just finished going all DIY on a leaky potty. I am no Bob Vila. I fixed it though :).
Your post was my reward. Ah, back to lovely things. I need some hot chocolate.

Everything is so pretty; and I think EVERY home needs a Santa mug with candy canes. I'm on the lookout for mugs for my daughters.

Tina, Monica's house is really pretty, but I must admit...I would love to see some pics of what your house looks like this year. Your house is so uplifting and I love the way you decorate!

Okay as a Nana to 9..are the plates done with paint that is fired on? If not please share what you used..as long as it's not some some trade secret..lol The house as always pulls on everyone's nesting strings!! I too love Canton!! I graduated from there. My parents still live there. What would we do without First Monday? lol
I hope you enjoy your Christmas.

Too. much. pretty!
Thankfully, since I have done a bang-up job of decorating this year (as opposed to last year, when I lost a baby and then had a two month long bought of some nasty coughing thing the doctors never could figure out), I think DH will be pleased as punch as I start expanding my decorating over the next few years.
Now to acclimate for year round decorations of one sort or another...heh heh heh.
Tell Monica, she may have just made my year. And I loooooooooove the baby plates!!! (too bad my babies are 9,7,5, and twin 2 1/2 yos!)...BIG feet!
