kluless: Christmas Times A-Coming!

It has been mighty busy at the big-girl job this season so I haven't done a lot of decorating because I realized it is one of those things within my control and I can choose not to, if I want. Who knew! It was a revelation. I did put up the tree in the living room and moved all those pink ornaments I collected last year to the main tree. It is small so it is packed full and I love that busy look! This birdie is new (old) for this year.

A pink reflector clip-on ornament, handmade by Magpie Ethel and extra special!

This birdie is new for this year, too. Hey! There is Mrs. Claus!

Hey, there she is again! She gets around. This is my only clear ornament. Vintage love.

Sorry for this fuzzy one but I couldn't leave it out because I adore that vintage shape. They sure knew how to make an ornament back in the day.

So I stand corrected, that one with the yellow stripe is clear, too.

See, they really knew how to do it.

My favorite ornament and I am more than down with this being the start of a collection. Christmas time is coming and I hope you are doing the things that bring you joy and setting the rest aside! XO

I SIMPLY LOVE MY CARD.

I will thank you properly after Christmas.

Annette said...: The vintage ornaments are such sweet eye candy! I would have some if my son hadn't thrown them away!
It's just amazing how much pressure we put on ourselves that is totally unnecessary. Many years ago, I quit cooking a big Christmas meal because I was just exhausted and I didn't get to see the kids enjoy their presents. I fix a big breakfast and we munch on finger foods the rest of the day.; December 21, 2013 at 11:35 AM
