Good Evening...A Little Game

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2013 Pay It Forward...
To the first five people that comment on this post you will receive
a gift from me at some point during the calendar year. No warning and when the mood strikes.
My gift may be a book, perhaps a candle and small trinket or maybe a
little handmade something.
Here is the catch....
YOU MUST ALSO BE WILLING TO PAY IT FORWARD.
I have my "Fab 5" on Face Book but thought it would be fun
to do it here also.

Have a Blessed evening...

****H--A--P--P--Y H--A--P--P--Y****

~~~~~~~~
 
Happy New Year to YOU.
 
We just returned home from Date Night...
yep...I know it's not Friday night, but this
was the Annual New Years Auction...
and well...
We just couldn't think of a better way to spend the
first day of this amazing New Year.
Geez...2013..
I can remember when we all thought the world
was going to be going crazy when it was 2000
and now look...
WE MADE IT!!!
 
I am not going to tell you that we have made resolutions...
we have...
but I will not let you in on them...just yet anyway.
See this way if we mess up you can't fuss at me!!
 
I truly hope (for all our sakes) that 2013 will
be an amazing year full of new endeavors...
opportunities...
friendships...
miracles...and
blessings.
 
Peace in this New Year to you and Yours,
May we all reach our goals and be the best we can truly be.
Robin

Merry Day After....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope that you all had a blessed Christmas with family and friends.
Ours was very nice...
and today it is COLD and WET....
a little ice but some much needed rain has finally come.

Now its onto thinking of Spring and making out the show schedule for this year.
Not doing as many this year and sticking closer to home.
Lee's back just will not take the long drives and it has just
got to expensive to travel far.
SORRY!!

The shop is OPEN and Christmas items
are on sale.

Have a Blessed Day and if you are in the midst of the
Blizzard of 1012....
Please be careful and send me some snow.
Thanks!!!!

~~~~~Finally A Little~~~~~~

****************
Christmas...
+++
Good evening friends..
and Welcome.
My wonderful husband..aka Mr Millstone
asked me what I wanted for Christmas...
"a RED front door" was my response...
AND
I LOVE IT!!
Thank you honey!


In one dining room the setting is very simple
small red long johns and simple fruit on the table.



The foyer tree..
no ornaments...yet



The den tree...
love big thick burlap



and this is the tree in the dark...



and in the second dining room...
a live tree on the table with dried fruit.
and one of Eli's toys on the table.



Simple and no fuss.
Have a great day tomorrow...
Make It The Best It Can Be.

~~~Where Are You Wynter~~~

************  *********
***************
NOW this is what I'm talkin' about!!
SNOW and COLD.


The calendar says it's December...
but the temps say it's mid spring???
Global warming?
Crazy?
None the less it does not make me want to run and
put up my tree nor does it make me want to go
Christmas shopping...
I am being a Scrooge this year...I have
NO
NONE
NADA
ZILCH
ZERO
Christmas items up in my home.
Well...if ya count the tree from the show that is stuck in the basement
then I have a silly green plastic tree from Hobby Lobby up...in the
home shop with no lights or decorations on it.

I feel like Charlie Brown...
Doesn't anyone know the meaning of Christmas...

Hopefully I will be able to pull out of it...
get it together and celebrate the season!!!

Blessings from the "Grinch"

The Final Show


~~~~~~~~~
It was bittersweet...setting up for the final show
of the year...
not seeing my "show family" until after
all the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Season is over...
and the ringing in of the New Year.
Lots of hugging going on Saturday afternoon.

Here is a small sampling of Millstone's Booth...
Please enjoy..






So now it's onto putting up the ONE tree at home...
nothing fancy.

Lee is down with his back and he has been hurting
pretty bad. He has tried EVERYTHING to ease the pain...
don't know where this will lead us.

Taking some time off and getting my house and home shop back
in order....maybe this time off will help his back.
 Our next show will be in Feb...
WINTER IN THE VALLEY
FISHERSVILLE, VA.
More to follow.

Have a blessed night.
Robin
