Fall Mantle

Last January when I was taking my winter decorations down, I just couldn't give up seeing my white glazed 3 piece nativity. So I decided to leave it out all year with the intentions of moving it to a different spot in the house every couple of months.

I did leave it out, but it has stayed on my mantle all year. I just changed the flowers and other accessories as the seasons changed.

The nativity has served its purpose which was to get me to slow down and think about my life and be thankful. I do believe I it may have earned a permanent place in my living room.

I'm linking with Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Thursday. Be sure to drop by there.

Take care and God Bless!

Tabletop Tuesday

Marty at A Stroll Thru Life hosts Tabletop Tuesday each week. She always has the most beautiful vignettes in her home.

I found a massive (heavy) candelabra at a local antique shop last Saturday. After trying it in several different spots, I decided on the side table in my dining room.

Added the candlesticks from my mantle. 

And a couple of rose bushes.

And a couple of chests.

Circle of Friends figurine from Home Interiors & Gifts

Be sure to drop by A Stroll Thru Life to see  a menagerie of beautiful table tops.

Take care and God Bless.

Table Top Tuesday

This picture has been in our family for over 15 years.  I think it is just adorable and have moved it to 3 or 4 different places in my home. But no matter where I put it, the dog figurine goes with it. At this time, it is sitting on the top of my black roll top desk in my bedroom.

I think the dog figurine looks really sad. The dog in the picture looks very content and loved.


Be sure to visit Marty at A Stroll Through Life for some great ideas.

Valentine's Snack

Won't you come in and have a snack.  I have chocolate no bake cookies (compliments of my daughter, Kelsey) and chocolate muffins. I'll make you some hot chocolate and we can chat the day away.

I hope you enjoyed your snack on my fine crystal dishware. Yeah right. I got everything on this table, except the food, from Dollar Tree.
