FIRST POST OF 2012!!!!

 Whoa,

shut my mouth, 

2012 

already

!??!!!????!!

Just a few pictures...

Not the year in pictures... 

Just,
a few pictures...

I think this looks like a wreath around the bolt.  

 This photo was taken by my cousin, Ronnie. 
He lives in Nashville, Tennessee, 
but he was home visiting for the holidays.

I think once you leave home, 
when you return everything looks different.
Even moss on an old fire hydrant 
can catch your eye in a special way.

 I really don't believe you ever leave home...
you carry it with you. 
(was that on Pinterest? It should be!)


These are a bit random...what's new?

One of the last covered bridges in Georgia...we just stumbled upon it one day.

A door, I just bought...beveled glass and probably close to 100 years old. What do I do first thing? Crack a couple of panes...I'm trying not to talk about it much... it hurts!!!

A memory of fall...  Bill took this one.

Here's a few photos from Christmas...
boy it slipped by fast!

 Front door wreath got all netty this year!

 I took the bow off of this one,
and hung it on the side door 
for a Winter wreath.

 The bows on this tree really need changing, 
but my mama made them,
and this was her tree. 
I rework it almost every Christmas...
change it up a bit, 
but those bows stay put!

  

What is that red container? 
Well, just hold on I'll tell you!

 
 

It's the bottom of a grill...or maybe the top.

It dresses up well, dontcha think?

 

And now for these lovely lovelies...whatever they are!!??

I found them at a yard sale...don't act surprised now!

They are beautiful, 

and I used them to add some height 

to the mantle this Christmas.

Not sure what others thought, but I thought they worked really well.

I saw them as shelf brackets when I bought them, 

but so far that hasn't worked out.

They are still on the mantle,

so they may have found their spot for the time.

 

BLESSED AND HAPPY 2012!

Best, Vicki
