~ Christmas Surprise...~

While in the midst of working long, long hours at the hospital, it is very refreshing to come home to a GOOD surprise. My oldest daughter had a creative moment and got busy. Here is the result.....I have always thought that old mannequin's would be a wonderful base for new ideas. Nina and I have talked about decking one out for Christmas for years. And as usual, time flies and before you know it several of those moments come and go...Wishing everyone a Wonderful Simple Thanksgiving and to appreciate all the things life has to offer,

especially the simple things...

~ Shades of Grey ~

Finally getting settled into the new space at Lone Star Antiques.....Trying to be a little more "hip". Shades of deep pewter grey and white opalescent stencils. Still have to stick to the ol white chippy treasures. Plans for a Christmas redo are ahead,

and hopefully will be done by Christmas...
