deck the halls...

Some of my older

favorites are joined this year by two

new stars in blues and greens

and lots of fun pink--

let's put the carols on and

begin to trim the tree!

Blue Christmas, Handmade Beaded Wire Star

Tickled Pink, Handmade Beaded Wire Star

through Etsy Project Embrace)

Burst, Multi-Color Handmade Beaded Wire Star

(this star is beaded on both sides!)
... perfect for your hostess for holiday parties, your child's teacher, friends or for YOURSELF!

Havin' A GREAT Weekend!

Saturday dawned bright and sunny and mild and I headed to our local garden center for boughs and berries to pretty up our front porch (what do you think of our PINK front door ~ my husband takes a fair bit of ribbing over that door from all his manly friends and just about anyone who sees it, really...poor guy). I've been on the hunt for snowberries this time every year for the past few and I hit the jackpot yesterday ~ bunches and bunches available for the taking (well...buying).

I even had my hubby out helping with the Christmas lights with just a minimum of grumbling ("This is what you consider quality together time????" - direct quote)...anyhow...I thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hours of arranging, bow-tying(?), and lighting the place up in order to attract as much holiday attention as possible. Here are a few photos...

and, on a couple of happy Etsy notes, my beaded star ornament is featured in Friday Finds, Thoughtful Gifts Under $50 - THANKS and whooohooo! It brought enough shoppers to reach my 500th sale!!!! Yay! Thanks so much everyone!
