good morning, lovlies!
it was a wonderful weekend here at heaven's walk,
full of christmas spirit!
watching our darling little granddaughter in her mouse costume
sing in the children's program at church...
walking 3 miles on the treadmill to pre-burn pre-holiday cals...

| yeah...it's blurry because i'm moving so fast..... |
listening to beautiful holiday hymns while wrapping presents...
trying to find a place to stack all the presents so that the cats wouldn't get into them,
eat the ribbons,
and then proceed to hack them up all over the rug...

| (google-cat) because i've never really thought about photographing any of my cats hacking, to tell you the truth... |
cleaning up all the sparkles from the wrapping paper and tags
before the cats try to eat those, too...
doing a little shoveling...

watching "Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe"
on tv - which we never get tired of seeing...

gathering up the kleenex from crying and sobbing while watching "Narnia"...
eyeing the rum balls in the freezer
that are IN the freezer so that i won't eat them...
logging 3 more miles on the treadmill because i LOOKED at the rum balls...

a tiny tree in a tiny bucket tied with twine
that sits on the dresser in the guest room...

| tiny tree from hobby lobby; tiny bucket from ikea |
looking into the dresser mirror you can see the tiny wreath hanging in the window
that overlooks the property

in the master bedroom
the armoire is dressed in a little holiday spirit too
the hydrangeas in the aqua mason jar have been replaced with pine and berries
in a vintage cheese box and enamel pitcher

this large wreath was originally on our side entry door
but hubby kept knocking it down when he walked in
(big shoulders + small entry = disaster)
so i moved it to our vintage fireplace mantel headboard
(which you can read about here. )

with another tiny tree in a tiny bucket
(ok....i just like saying that.....)
on the bedside table
i absolutely adore my grain sack pillows
at the end of the bed on the antique blanket chest
rests a basket with a vintage-looking pillow
 |
| pillow - shellagh @ ticking and toile |
a mix of delicious textures cover the bed -
hemp linen grain sack pillow covers
cream colored linen duvet cover
oatmeal colored linen throw
white cotton sheets
did i tell you how much i love my linen grain sacks....?
especially against the ruffled linen goodness of the pillow slips...

the perfect place to dream of Christmas
and forget about hacking cats and rum ball thighs...
