Happy Holidays

Our Christmas card...postcard size with a painted full moon and printed words. Have a lovely holiday.

Something from our home to yours this Monday:

We're getting ready!

Etsy Maine Team

Our state Etsy team had a holiday sale this past weekend and it was so nice to actually see WHO, and WHAT, and from WHERE all these talented people came from. So many nice things could be picked up and admired.

I bought this beautiful handmade journal from PurplebeanBindery 'supposedly' for someone on my list, but really, I don't think I can part with it. I think it was for me all along.


I bought other beautiful things but nothing I can share right now, gifts destined for friends. That stop by this blog occasionally. Secrets.

Stilllife with Handheld Technology

What's wrong with this picture??
In their defense, I think they're all playing scrabble together...remember when you used to play on a real board with real tiles?

More Birds

We've been visited by a flock of birds.



I bought a pillow top from one of the catalogs I get and needed another to balance the couch. It came out alright though the green is a bit off.











I haven't bought a pillow top in years because I see it and I make it, but this one was so pretty and I didn't relish the idea of making all those big french knots. It was worth paying for it and having it come to my mailbox.

I did a FEW french knots but just a few.
