Again I must thank our hostess's
Robyn from Primlish
 and
Misi from 1890 Gable House Musings
 
Today I am featuring our prim red cabinet.
 

Am loving all of the merriment going on!
 
The next two days I will be absent..sorry.
Christmas party tomorrow night
and then on Thursday Bob and I will be visiting
The Henry Ford Museum
for their Holiday Nights.
It was featured in the last issue of Simple Time Magazine.
The entire village from the 1800's is decorated
for that time period.

The 18th Day of Merriement

A little bit more of my kitchen merry.
Prim candy canes in a ditty bag.
My little Ace hiding in the tree.
He sleeps here all of the time.
Guess he likes my antique quilts too!
Unfortunately you cannot see the quilt I had placed around this tree.
Yule Tide Blessings to All!

Merrie Merrie Day 17

This is the one part of the new wall we did in our kitchen.
Our blue cabinet hides most of the blue wall on this side.
..and no these are not my longjohns.
But I did tell the grands Santa left them last year.
Now they are asking me if he will take them back this year.
Hmmm...gramma needs to think of something quick now.
Any suggestions?
This is a flocked tree from the 1940's.
I actually have the box it originally came in too!

 Longjohn Blessings to All!

Merriment Day 16


I'm a little ginger man
In the oven I am found.

Raisins for eyes
nose so round.

Good enough to eat,
so toasty and brown.

Just pick me up and munch me down.

Ginger Blessings to All!

Merriement #15

For the love of shoes.
I opened the closet and walked on in
my foot hit something that had fallen from its bin.
An old pair of shoes~ wrinkled and worn,
lay out on the floor reminding me of a long lost friend.
Quite a story old shoes can tell
where we've gone ~ a life that's been lived well.
Oh, I know that some folks
don't care about the past,
only the present ~ 'cause times are just too fast.



But old shoes go slow
with memories from so long ago
of times good and bad
smiles and tears
of things happy and sad.


At times we struggle in life to find
a place of happiness, peace and a companion to be kind.
Old shoes are with us every step of the way
through good times and bad
bright days and sad.


Old shoes are like friends, they stay around
in good times and bad,
they are really quite sound.
Old shoes are like good friends
you don't throw away
just tuck them back
and bring them out another day.

Old Shoe Blessings to All!

Day 14 Of Merrie

Whew
Cannot believe I have made it this far.
Its very hard for me to post daily
as life gets in the way and more so this time of Merrie year.
I love to bake,
especially in the Winter months.
Christmas cookies and brownies and cakes.
Do you like to bake?
Bakery Blessings to All
