Thanksgiving in New York

We had the pleasure of spending

Thanksgiving in New York.
 

 

Our daughter and family moved

to Brooklyn last month . . .

 

We went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

 

 and got to enjoy it through the eyes of a 2 year old.

 who happened to love Snoopy!

 

Thank you so much,

Reed, Whitney and Tayvee,

for the wonderful Thanksgiving dinner 

and the days we spent with you.

We are thankful and blessed.

We look forward to spending

Christmas with our other daughter

and husband at their new home in Idaho.

Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday 

with your family.

~ Julie

Happy Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

to you and your family!

A Vintage Christmas Flea Market

We had a great time at 

the Plucky Maiden's Junk Fest!

Thanks, Pam and Maria,

for putting together such a great

Holiday Event!

Welcome to our Christmas space . . .

Many items pictured were sold, 

but I'll be adding lots of Christmas items 

this week to my etsy shops.

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving 

with your family and 

joy as you get ready for 

the Christmas season.

vintage sock stretchers

Last week I found these

vintage sock stretchers
at an antique sale

(are you really supposed to stretch your socks?).

I thought they would look nice 

just hanging as stocking decorations
for Christmas,

but when I got them home, 

I decided to dress them up with

some vintage lace and trims.

What do you think?

I listed a couple in my etsy shop, and

some will go to Junk Fest.

Happy White Wednesday.
Hope you are enjoying your week!

Enjoying fall . . .

The leaves are falling . . . 

These are columnar Armstrong Maple trees,
and they line each side of our property {57 trees planted by The Captain}

The Pacific Northwest is so pretty in fall.
Hope you're enjoying your fall where you are.
Thanks for visiting.
