Saturday Shopping
Went Christmas Open Housing with Mom this past weekend to our favorite little antique and craft shops.
I am almost bursting at the seems with Christmas decorations as it is, but I won’t live here forever, so you have to get the cute things even if they don’t fit here! LOL
For instance…I have NO WHERE to hang this shelf, but it was $10.oo at Primitive Connections antique shop in Allen, MI.
So I HAD to get it right…come on $10.00!!

In my next house, surely there will be a free piece of wall to hang it! Who know’s I might even find somewhere here in our tiny townhouse!
Mom bought me this great enamel wear basin with candle and fixin’s at The Old Granary in Quincy, and I found the cute Candy Cane stuffies at the Hog Creek Antique mall.

I went through my f aux greenery and sprayed some snow in a can on them to create some new festive arrangements. I will take pic’s of the rest of them as I churn them out. Here is how one of my Junk Shop re-do’s turned out:

This is my spot to chat and be chatted to.
I am so happy you stopped by. Please feel free to leave a comment, I will be sure to get back to you.
My, oh my! Love the Christmas goodies! I am bursting at the seams to get out all of my stuff but am trying really hard to wait until day after Thanksgiving! I just LOVE Christmas decorating!
Fun! Fun!!
I just finished my Thanksgiving placemats and I still have two fall items to hand quilt–what do you mean it;s time for Christmas??????
Love your things you got–what an adorable shelf—and that is a cute idea with the snow—can;t wait to see what you do next for Christmas???/
Hugs, Di
Of course you had to get it! You’re just being a good girl scout and being prepared for when you do have the space! Good job!
Very cute and creative.
I have an old sifter. I should see what I can come up with. Cute decorations.
My house is too messy right now to even think of decorating but I so love seeing your treasures. I can’t wait to dig out my own…at some point, LOL!
Quick question:

Very cute, Melissa. It’s hard to imagine that Christmas decorating is so close.
Love the shelf, if you can’t find space for it I always can!
