Monday night brights


Those little red bits are pieces of roses from the fresh flowers, our cat loves roses! He had a nibble once or twice while we slept.

 
I love Christmas, but our home is small. It is almost a relief to get the decorations put back away. What a handsome mantle, it makes such a difference in the whole house.

 
My last gift received, this charming cow and mandarin orange candle. As soon as I cleared the Christmas table cloth, these were the new centerpiece. Thanks Kathy.

 
I love Red Trucks, and bicycles! Honey got me this metal sculpture for the living room wall.

 
This cat only looks innocent! Not only is He a rose nibbler, he tries to convince who ever is before him that the other human that lives here did not give him treats. 

 
Honey loves the Beatles. I tried to find a Beatles theme fabric for this throw, but no luck. I did find Yellow submarines for one side and musical notes for the other. This will keep him warm on those naps.
"We all live in a yellow submarine,.........."


 I love these chocolate gold coins. At Christmas time my folks always had these for us kids. Fun to keep the tradition going. 


As always, thanks for taking a moment to stop and say hello, I appreciate your visits. Please come back again.

T'was the night after Christmas and all through the house.........


Not a creature was stirring, especially the  North Pole guy. Our house was warm and brighter...



with the new photos of the granddaughters to enjoy through out the coming year.

Another batch of Toffee was made, to continue the giving.

 
This batch is super nutty, I could not help myself!

There were gifts from afar to enjoy. 
 

A wonderful old train signal lantern, and fresh flowers for our dinner table. Saying "thanks" just does not seem like enough. 

Then the homemade treasures that live on in my heart.



Refrigerator magnets, so sweet! The Family Teacher is so crafty. How lucky for me.



Something more for my "cat" collection.

 The Lovely Jess has gifted a homemade "cat" item each Christmas. I love it!


And lets not forget the kitchen.....
A new digital scale, in red of course.


A new rack for tools above the stove. A perfect fit!














We feasted on Christmas, with homemade bread cinnamon toast and eggnog a Christmas tradition. In addition the Lovely Jess made eggs, sausage links and these delicious Cinnamon rolls.  


As always thanks for taking a moment to stop and say hello. Tomorrow is Sunday Cafe. We will all gather and enjoy more time together, share the Christmas leftovers and end the weekend with very happy hearts.
