DICKENS STREET FAIRE - 11/26/2011

Today we went to the Dickens Street Faire
held in Old Town Elk Grove
Snow was brought in from the mountains
for the kids to play

Santa cruised through
in an old fire truck with sirens going

Wonderful holiday music
was a delight to stop and listen to

Lots of food and craft vendors
were enjoyed by many including us

There were rides on a buggy pulled by two horses

My purchase of the day
a
Soy Caramel Macchiato Candle
Wow, does it smell good in here
even without lighting it
which I do not plan to do

THANKSGIVING - 11/24/2011

Thanksgiving Day - November 24, 2011
Table set for our dinner

What a wonderful dinner and a busy day,
so busy I forgot to take photos of our dinner
or the turkeys
one on gas and one on charcoals
delish!!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving

CHRISTMAS LAMP

Bored?? Me??
Yes, and usually at night.
I am supposed to be asleep, but cannot get tired enough,
so I decided to make a Christmas lamp shade
with some of my old (stored for a long time)
Christmas wrapping paper.
I made it a bit, well a lot too small
and was lucky
to have my small thrift store wine glass
for it to fit perfectly.
Guess I better call it a night.

FALL

I love the colors of Fall
All the trees are becoming so beautiful

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

I bought this shelf at a craft fair we recently went to
I came home and quickly found a place for it
along with some of my favorite things.
It makes me so very HAPPY,
filled with MEMORIES
and DREAMS
