Montage Montage

I cannot believe it is the end of November already.

Where has this year gone?

Hoping that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family.

I want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts on my earlier post ~

the one where I would not be with my daughter and grandchildren this Thanksgiving.

All of your kind words must have made a miracle happen,

as we were fortunate to have Michele, Michael and Mikayla to be there with us....

they were late, but a wonderful surprise nonetheless!!!

Now on to the Monday Montage for this week.

Decking my halls...

I picked up these cute little shoes on Saturday and decided to make a little vignette by our front door. The basket of Christmas greens was a last minute addition that I whipped together and added a sparkly snowflake. Does anyone else collect children's shoes?

Added some greens and a gold poinsettia to the 1800 glider horse.

This picture does not do it justice.

And the stockings were hung...

This is a reindeer made from leather.

I placed it in one of my trenchers.

I added some dried clematis vines and included some bay leaves and dried orange peels to make this scene look somewhat like the reindeer was in the woods. What do you think?

  Oh, I forgot...added mini white lights to this display too. ~smile~

That covers another week...more to come!

4 more days to the secret birthday giveaway!

Christmas Blessings to all
