It's almost here, a peek at our home & tassels

Thanksgiving is almost here....just one more day to work & I'm off until next Monday....YIPPPEEEE!! Mammaw is coming in tonight and will be here until Friday. I've got her room all ready....favorite blankets set aside and a whole package of fig newtons. I've cleaned, dusted, washed, ironed, did a little touch up painting....I'm pooped. Am I ready for 25 guests? Oh, I hope so....how am I going to fit 25 people in here.....it will be cozy. :)

Some of you may have seen my breakfast room.....on RMS.

It made a brief appearance. :)

Yep, it's small I know :)

I like the charm of our little pie hutch. It's been painted many, many times :)

Our living room.......

Scented candles & pecans....

Another view ( & Riley )

My Aunt painted the 'feux' tree behind Riley's cage....that way he can't eat it

View from the breakfast room

The living room had a 2.8 on RMS. I was horrified.....but I'm not scared to show ya'll.

I've done the best I could w/ limited space, budget & a very HUGE bird cage.

I'm proud of our little place. :)

The temp. is supposed to be about 74 on Thursday so I'm going to use our patio....I have a large folding table w/ a cream table cloth. That I plan to put food, drinks & desserts on. If the weather agrees it should be okay. We'll just spread out all over and eat on paper plates....is that tacky? My dream is to have a large dining table and eat on china. That's what we did when I was growing up. But my little house is just too small to accommodate that kind of a table. So, we'll just have to enjoy the closeness....lol.


I am looking forward to the early bird sales Friday morning.....Kristin & I wake up at 3:00am and are standing in line by 4:00am. We usually stop for breakfast about 9:00 and head home to unload our goodies and attic.....it's bursting at the seams with Christmas items. Then we have to move our breakfast table to the garage so we have room for our tree....ooohhhh I can't hardly wait!



Ya'll know Nancy @ http://southernlady-nancy.blogspot.com? Well her blog is amazing, I love her decorations, ideas, her home.....and she is soooo super sweet! I ordered 2 tassels from her ( I had to....they were calling me ) just look at how gorgeous they are!

This is Ruby....

Her new home is in the guest room.....Mammaw will be staying in here.





Sorry, these pics are a little dark ( I took them at night )

I love this pillow....actually I love ALL these pillows

Okay back to the tassels......

Introducing.........Mr. Rooster!

Isn't he handsome? He is a perfect fit in our kitchen!

You better believe I hugged & kissed them.....rolled out the red carpet and welcomed them to their new home in style! :)


I also borrowed her picture frame idea.....I added ribbon and a broach and ta-da..... isn't it adorable? I may be addicted to this idea. Thank you Nancy!

Note: I removed the picture the picture on the left for the holidays....I just love the small dry erase board I purchased at Kirklands for $9.99. :)

I added a broach to Mammaw's picture frame, too. Yep, I love this idea!

Well, I guess that's all for now!
Wishing all of you a wonderful holiday week!
