Christmas Sprinkles

Hi Everyone!

Oh my gosh, December 2nd! I am still having trouble wrapping my head around how fast the last part of this year is going.  Hallmark Channel is already advertising their Valentine's movie.....say what?!!

I have really gotten off to a good start with all my Christmas prep, so I am enjoying these days despite how fast it seems each day goes by.  I hope you are feeling good about where you are at also and are taking time to enjoy the season!  I sometimes get so caught up in all the trappings of the holiday, trying to make things "perfect,"  and come December 26th, I find myself asking, "Is that it?"  This year I have vowed to live the season to the fullest, to be present in the moments with my family and friends.  The perfectionist in me says I should do this or do that, but I am going to try very hard to loosen up and lighten up some of my self-imposed holiday burdens and really enjoy the true blessings in my life.  Now that I've gotten THAT  off of my chest.......................

Today I just wanted to show you a "sprinkling" of this year's Christmas decor.  Hope you enjoy!

Vintage Bottles From Local Companies in a Longaberger Basket

Hope enjoyed the "sprinkles!"  I will be back soon with more holiday cheer, but right now I am going to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and admire our tree.

Thanks for stopping by,

What's Trending at BB1959?

Whoa! I completely missed blogging last week.  Life got in the way just a bit, but I am back.

Just wanted to show you some of the things that are "trending" in my home these days and I have a sneak peek for you of something new at the end.

Re-arranged a cozy corner in my kitchen.

Love my French bottle drying rack.  I have mugs on there now, but while was rearranging things, I put one of my old bottles on "just to see" - and I am sure I will be swapping out the mugs with bottles soon.  (Sorry about the horrible, awful pics - my wall looks nothing like this hot pink!!! It is dark wine color - see the next pic for a more accurate color.)

Enjoying my white farm animal kitchen window sill.  The chicken butterdish is keeping a secret.....

A stash of some of my favorite Yankee wax tarts..."Harvest" to be exact.

This is our dog treat station....love the creamy ceramics and the fun chalkboard labels.

Here's a sneak peek of our den with our new light fixture.  I will share the entire room with you soon!

So there you have it, the trending items at Bluebird 1959 these days. 

Thanks for stopping by,
Jane
