Hi Everyone,
Oh my do you feel like the month of December is going waaayyy to fast?! I love this time of year and it seems like it just goes to quickly.
This is the time of year that sweet surprises arrive at your doorstep. This happened to me just the other day. Vera from Instagram Rowhomesandcobblestones sent me a beautiful and sweet gift. Vera knows my love of angels and Madonna's and she sent me this beautiful new Madonna for my collection.
 |
| This angel is from the Holy Journey series that is a tribute to Christian Faith. The sculptures in this series are of the people and events during Christ's brief time here on earth. The pieces are just beautiful by Veronese Designs. |
 |
| She joins with some of my other angels and Madonna's that hold special rosaries from family members that have passed. These beautiful angels and Madonna's give me such peace. Thank you sweet Vera for making my heart sing when I opened up this lovely thoughtful gift from you. I will treasure her. |
 |
| I wanted to show you this sweet little mannequin Christmas tree I found at Marshall's. Just was too adorable to pass up. I have her on my makeup table. |
 |
| I have to tell you I am having the best time with these sweet little birds from Target. When I come into the kitchen in the morning they just make me smile. |
Hope you are having fun with all your decorating around your homes. This is such a fun time of year. Enjoy and have a great week ahead.
xoxo

Pretty Madonna! Those birds would make me smile too. So cute. Yes, I love this time of year too. It's the best time for me to get away with really pulling out all the stops with 'stuff', lol.

ReplyDeleteThose birds - 😊😍. My little candy cane birds landed on the mantel. I look up there and just smile. The others will land at the farm! Yes, this season is rushing by way too fast. I'm trying to savor it as much as possible.
Merry Christmas!

What a Heavenly gift! So pretty and such a sweet gesture. LOVE that mannequin Christmas tree. I had to immediately go to Amazon and look, but the ones I saw were large ones and very expensive! I love the little one..... FYI, I saw a pink one on Amazon! You put me to shame. I haven't done much decorating yet... just can't seem to get with it, though I feel like I'm busy every day. I guess it'll get done when it gets done. Enjoy the week...........Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHi Kris,
ReplyDeleteThose little birds are so fun...I still love mine. They bring a smile every time I look at them! Your gift from Vera is so special and I know you'll treasure it always. Now where is Miss Peggy in her Christmas sweater? ;)
How sweet Vera is to gift you such a perfect gift Kris. Loving your Christmas decor.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas xx
I am in love with the Christmas mannequin on your dressing table! You have such a special way of decorating that makes us want to stop by for tea or a hot cocoa and visit a while! I hope your holidays are sweet, memorable and filled with laughter!
