Wino Cheer

The holidays are here and it's time to bring out my favorite Christmas Holiday wine glasses........they make an appearance every holiday season.  Purchased them at a local flea market and they are just so cute.......they make me smile everytime I see them......<smile>


Love all the painted whimsical lights.......


Very cheery......


And the red stems...............they absolutely rock....!

Turkey Mosaic

Every year my favorite Mosaic Turkey comes out of storage and makes an appearence in the month of November.  I've decided that she is a female Turkey and we have named her Isabelle.  She just seemed like an Isabelle to me.  Very majestic and colorful!  We have her sitting proudly in our great room, so that she can show off her many colors all throughout the Thanksgiving season......


We can't wait to see her each Fall.  Kind of miss her when we store her away after Thanksgiving......


Love the many colors and the light inside, that makes her so brilliant..............


 Even the back of her is beautiful!


I think she is trying to tell us that she is very glad to see us too!


Well welcome back, my old friend, we are very happy to see you again for Thanksgiving this year!  We all have so much to be thankful for.  You are a reminder of what is so special to us all.

What is your favorite Thanksgiving decoration in your home?

Vintage Spice Set

Just love all things vintage.......each piece always has so much character about them.  Every nook, cranny, and crevas, tells a story of a former life.  My favorite set of antique spice containers came from a consignment shop that used to be in Woodstock several years ago.  The shop name was Alida Lois and they had all kinds of high-end furniture and accessories that would make your head turn!  But they have since closed, so I will share with you one of the treasures I found there........this cute vintage spice set......


   Each spice container looks like a book in an antique library......they are ready to spice up your life....literally!  <grin>




They even have the indention at the top like a library book.....



Lots of detail painted on the front of each one.


Even a mispelling or two.....you'll see the other one below.  And I never noticed it until I was photographing the set for this post....


Love the look of the volumn numbers at the bottom of each container......very quaint and elegant....like it's telling a fairytale.......




So they sit on the shelves in my kitchen by my collection of cookbooks and what nots........just too cute to use.  Actually, I'm afraid I'll break them <smile>.  And that's my treasure to share this week!

What is your favorite flea market or consignment shop find?  Would love to hear what that is!
