May You Have a Blessed Merry Christmas

Away In A Manger

Away in a Manger, no crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;
The stars in the sky look down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing the poor baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me for ever and love me I pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there.

It's a Wonderful White Wednesday

~May you have a wonderful, blessed Christmas~

She is a true inspiration!

Christmas Whites

This is the first year that I have decorated my tree with a little glitz....mercury glass ornaments and silver sparkly ornaments.  I decided to put on some of the vintage icicles that I had......so's here's tree "A".

I then decided I wanted to add more white...so then I didn't like the icicles....here's tree "B" (the glass ornaments aren't showing up in this picture, which makes the tree look a little sparce!).  I am going to attempt to make some white icicles this week to add to the tree.

I started my paperwhites a little late this year....

Gotta have white candy canes!

I came across this cute white wreath while blog hopping the other day, which made me think of some white snowflakes that I had purchased several years ago at Target after Christmas (sorry I don't remember the name of the blog)....

....so, with a little creativity....here's my version. I still need to embelish it with some bells and a ribbon!

 

 

Thanks again to our wonderful hostess for White Wednesday, Kathleen.  Be sure to stop by Faded Charm

Vintage Christmas Monday

Thank you Joan at Anything Goes Here  for hosting Vintage Christmas Monday.  It has been so much fun visiting all the blogs and admiring the many wonderous vintage Christmas items.  Here are a few books I have collected over the years.

I had almost forgotten about my antique Christmas Books until I went searching for something to post for Vintage Monday. The first two books are in pretty bad shape, but I do so love the graphics and the wonderful sepia tone of the pages!

This book completely fell apart when I pulled it out of my cupboard this year.  The pages are so brittle, they just crumble!  I still love the graphics, and guess I should scan some of them for better clarity.  The book dates to the late 1800's.

Fa la la la la...la la la la!!!!

Plan C?

Each year, just before Christmas, I am fortunate to be a part of a group of  twelve wonderful ladies and friends who gather together to celebrate the season.  We come from all over the State of  Florida, and each year the event is hosted by a different gal.  Our common denominator is our love of all things antique, primitive and country!  Of course, the hostess's home is ALL decked out for Christmas.  Oh, we just have the best time together.  We each bring our finest culinary delights and 11 gifts to share (all the same....well, with the exception that some of us are divided.....We're either a "white girl" or a "colored girl", so sometimes the gifts are separated!  The "white girls", of course, love all things white...and the "colored girls" like primitive, original paint with more color.  Needless to say, these are the very best gifts of the season.  We each take a turn passing out the presents, and all at the same time....open 'em up!  Sometimes, not everyone opens theirs, but waits to see what it is.....because the packaging and presentation are always almost as wonderful as the gift itself!

I have been pondering this year and racking my pea brain on what to do.  When I finally decided, I ordered the necessary ingredients...and waited, and waited......nothing in the mail!  Today was the final day...tomorrow is the "Big Event"!  (I'm not going to share my original idea...I'll post it later if the stuff ever comes).   Oh, I had plan "B" sort of, which was to make a cute pillow or sachet or something cool out of burlap since it's so 'hot' right now.  I had the stuff...but not the ambition to get out the sewing machine.  Sooo....last night I was blog hopping, praying for inspiration for plan "C" just in case the mailman was once again a disappointment today.  I found a really cute blog (http://blomsterverkstad.blogspot.com/) with a post for a bird feeder....alas....Plan C!  Could be done fairly quickly and I had most of the stuff...just sent hubby to the store for apples and cranberries.  Luckily, also I had found the cutest tea towels at Ikea a few weeks back for $.49 and purchased a dozen....so I also had a way to wrap the gifts......so here's the pics!

"For the Birds"

I always like to make edible ornaments for an outside tree for the birds this time of year!

~ Wire, Apple, Cranberries, Sweet Annie ~

 Cello bags with a little shred in the bottom.  I have had these vintage bird cards for many years....perfect!

~ Tea towel gathered with ticking and a piece of greenery ~

~ All packed up...and ready to go ~

So I need to get some sleep....have to be up very early to meet up with the gals driving together....we've got about a 3 hour drive to be there by 11!

I'll post pics of the day this weekend....

White Wednesday

Well, better late than never...!  I had great plans to post my Christmas tree and decor for todays White Wednesday, but....(I'm not done yet)...Imagine that!  I did put this little tree together with the ice skate ornaments...kinda cute?

I have this dilema with this cute little child's swing...I just can't seem to find it a home...or purpose.  Right now, it's just hanging on a nail in my carport. The seat leans downward, so it really isn't useful as a shelf...(I guess I could try to rig it up to hang flat....well, stay tuned for that!

 I found these cute little white pansies today on my lunch break.

They make me happy!

Look what I found at Target....the cutest 'mercury glass' style birds.  Of course, they are by Smith & Hawkin....really cute (sorry not the best pics!).

These 'mercury glass' ornaments were at Lowe's (4 for $7.00).

This will be the first time I have decorated my tree in silver....still a work in progress, but with the help of these bargain bulbs...it's starting to come together for me.

Thanks again to Kathleen for hosting White Wednesday!

CYA

Vintage Christmas Monday

I got a set of beautiful, vintage transferware dishes just in time for the Holidays!  The set is on a creamy white background with black transfer called "Liverpool Birds" by Wedgwood.  There's over 100 pieces.  They belonged to my girlfriend's grandmother and date to the late 1800's. I just love 'em!

I couldn't believe it when I found this vintage Santa stocking....it is exactly like one I had as a child!  My Daddy owned a Sunoco Service Station and these were a give-a-way in the late 50's.  I found two of them, so when my brother was here for Thanksgiving, I showed him one and asked if he remembered having one.  Sure enough, he did, but said "Man, it sure is an ugly santa"!  He took it home anyway.

They were always filled with oranges and nuts...no candy or toys back in the day!

I also found several boxes of vintage icicles.  These are actually metal...so much prettier than the plastic kind they sell today.  I remember having to 'oh so carefully' string one at a time on the tree!  When we took the tree down, my brother, sister and I would take the icicles and wad them up into giant balls, making perfect  weapons to throw at one another! Oh, those were the days!

Be sure to visit our hostess, Joan at Anything Goes Here, for more wonderful vintage posts

Vintage Christmas Monday

I found several of these vintage boxes many years ago, and have used them in many different ways.  Most recently, I had made small gifts for a group of friends and needed a creative way to wrap them....So, I carefully took one of the boxes apart and photocopied it onto card stock paper, cut them out, and had  the cutest packaging!  Unfortunately, my pictures don't do the graphics justice..

I love these little 3" vintage stockings!

A collection of small vintage toys.  The red bell is heavy metal with perfectly aged and distressed original red paint.  The dice is made of celluloid.

Thank you Joan at Anything Goes Here, http://thepottingshed-anythinggoeshere.blogspot.com/2009/11/vintage-christmas-monday-blog-party.html, for hosting Vintage Christmas Monday.  Be sure to visit to see all the participants.

I am going to be selling the box, stockings and toys in my Etsy shop.

White Wednesday in my Studio/Office

I would first like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Veterans as we set aside this special day to honor all of those who have served our country.  This is a picture of my favorite Veteran, my Daddy, who was a very proud  Marine, and served  in World War II.  Thanks, Daddy, and I miss you dearly!  Sus

December 6, 1923 ~ April 15, 1992

Now back to WW...I was kinda running out of white stuff for White Wednesday, so I broke down and sort of straightened up my white cupboard in my office/studio.  My husband and I were on a buying trip quite a few years back in Charlotte, NC when we saw this cupboard in a shop.  The owner told us it was only a display piece and that we probably wouldn't want it because of it's condition.  Long story short, $75.00 cash did the trick.  Oh, I've been offered more, but it would  be too hard to replace.  After all, in my 'fantasy life' this piece is in the potting shed full of old pots, garden tools and plants!

This is the "holds all" cupboard!

Lots o' storage

The Other Cupboard

As for this cupboard, I would absolutely never let you see the inside of it....well maybe someday if I get around to organizing all the 'goodies' inside!

I do have a desk in the office, but right now everything that I took off of the cupboard to take the pics is on the table.....maybe next week!  See what I mean...

Til then...Happy White Wednesday to all......and be sure to head on over to visit Kathleen at Faded Charm,   our awesome hostess for WW, and check out her whites and many more participants!

Garden Perplexities and other stuff

Okay, so I'm out visiting my veggie garden, as I do each day, to see what maybe grew some since the day before...and I'm so delighted with my first tomato and decide to take a picture!  Yea, I CAN grow veggies in the fall!  So, Saturday, my friend stopped by and I just had to take her on the garden expedition. WHERE'S MY TOMATO???? A squirrel, perhaps, or maybe a possum?  I DUN KNOW!

I planted these two collard plants, which were the same size, on the same day.  What happened?

I do have 3 okra!

Well, this pics's not too clear...but hubby pulled all the weeds and dead stuff out of the flowers beds today.  What a guy!

AND

My Black Eyed Susan Vine is really pretty right now!

WHITE WEDNESDAY ~ Signs and Wonders

~SIGNS~

This was my very first antique sign.  I lived on Cherry Apple Circle!

When I walked into an antique shop many years ago and saw this sign...I knew immediately that I had to have it...You see I love antique signs, I love gardening, and my Grandfather's name was Winfield.  I also gave my son Winfield as his middle name in loving memory of my Grandaddy Winfield Scott!

~AND WONDERS~

My folk art 'garden angel'

I think this 'zinc' piece looks like angel wings, don't you think?

This is my favorite picure of my mother.  She passed away in Feburary at the age of 87.  I sure do miss her!

One of my secrets!

If you've never heard of, or used, Downy Wrinkle Releaser...you're in for a treat!  I love this product, and I'm always surprised when I mention it to friends that they have never heard of it!  It works great on most fabrics to remove the wrinkles.  Now it does not give the same crisp appearance as an iron would, but all you have to do is spray it on your fabric and smooth it out.  I rarely iron anymore!  I've only seen it at Target, and costs around $6.00, but well worth it.

This morning I changed the slipcover on my chair, and the linen was so wrinkled...well you can guess the rest.  See for yourself:

White Wednesday ~ Nature's Whites

This White Wednesday is all about nature's variegated whites...from the soft muted shades of white in assorted nests to the beautiful variegations in leaves.  Nature never ceases to amaze me!  Of course, when you consider the Master Artist of it all, it's no wonder!

I just had to add this pic at the end.  I bought these cute white bird s & p shakers today at Pier One for $3.00  for the pair!  I thought that's a pretty great price.  They're real cute and look great with ironstone!

Check out a couple-a great giveaways!

Head on over to visit Theresa at http://gardenantqs.blogspot.com/ for a chance to receive a $50.00 gift certificate to purchase some of her wonderful finds....and....Starbucks coffee!

Also, be sure to visit Anne at http://fionaandtwig.blogspot.com/ to enter her amazing giveaway!  She's offering a gift certificate to Anthropologie and an autographed copy of  'The Find'!

White Wednesday

Thank you once again to Kathleen http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ for hosting White Wednesday.  Be sure to head over to visit her as she is offering a terrific giveaway to celebrate over 100 participants in White Wednesday!   

Random white things!

Help me...I need your advise and expertise!

Ok, so the cupboard/tv thing has been making me nuts lately!  The stepback cupboard is a great primitive country piece with old paint in green with the doors in a creamy white.  If you will, imagine the tv gone and the top doors closed...looks much better.  Anyway, this is my only option to house the tv. So.....here's my dilema.  I want the green gone...so over it. I do not like the way it looks in the room at all!  Sooooo, should I repaint it?  I'm not really a huge fan of repainting over old paint, but as you can see, there are a few issues with the original (old) finish.  The green is kind of funky in places, and it looks like someone stripped a portion of the bottom and top doors to see 'what lies beneath'. 

I would truly appreciate your input....to paint it white or not?  I'm pretty sure I could do a decent job using faux and distressing techniques . I don't think the 'pure white' would go well with my other white pieces.  Please be brutally honest and tell me what you think.....Think of it as kinda a 'rate my space' thing!

This chair and ottoman will be slipcovered in white!  I've had the sage green way too long (12 years)!

Thanks for your input!

Susie

White Wednesday

Whites in the living room.  I've been wanting a new sofa, or at least a new slipcover for this one.  I do have a beige slipcover, which I just removed to wash...but I really want white.  I may attempt for make one myself as I have been inspired by fellow bloggers who have make amazing slipcovers. I may also want to lighten the color of the walls.  They were painted this color when we moved in, and this has just not been a high priority.  What do you think...lighter, white?  Not sure!

The pictures do not do the rug justice.  My husband brought this home from work one day...it was destined for the dumpster!  It is made by a company in Sweden called Kasthall.  The content is 100% linen in a 'shag' style!  I found a company in New York that sells these rugs, and this rug is over $1,000!  Can you imagine.  It is in perfect condition!

Remember the concrete stump from my last WW post? 

This is a little clay crow that a friend of mine made...to cute for fall!

I love this little sawbuck side table...one of my favs!

I looked for the longest time for a coffee table.  This farm table had been cut down and it is so sturdy.  Feel free to prop your feet up or leave drinks on it.  My grandson and friends sit on the small chairs to eat, play games, shape play dough, etc.  No worries here!  Love it... I'm all about comfort!

Thank you Kathleen at fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ for hosting White Wednesday..it has become one of my favorite days of the week!

Is Your Name Susie?

My birthday is this month...and I would like to give away "THE SUSIE BOOK".  It was given to me many years ago by a dear friend, and I think it's time to 'pay it forward'!   It is the cutest little book with great graphics, dated 1911....By the way, in case you don't know me...my name is Susie, and I love to give presents on my birthday!

Anyway, if you are named Susie, or know of someone named Susie, I would love to give this book  as my  "birthday'  gift!  Simply leave a comment letting me know why you, or your Susie, would love this cute little book.  I'll be making a decision and posting the recipient on the 23rd!

Today, I am just a Grandma!

My grandson, Javan ~ age 6, comes to stay every weekend.  I can't wait until Friday evening when he walks in the door.  Of course, at this age, I practically have to hog-tie him to get my hugs and kisses!  He is truly a bright, shining light in our family, and brings the gift of continual joy to us.  I know I'm a 'gushy' grandma, but I just can't help myself!  He's so funny, always laughing and happy.  I bribed him to let me take a few pics, and I told him I wanted to show him off to my friends in blogville!  So, without further adue, I introduce...Javan Ryan....

He has double dimples....too cute!

How 'bout those big brown eyes!

He got his two front teeth long before Christmas!

WHITE WEDNESDAY

White Wednesday featuring garden concrete. I love concrete in the garden, but I also bring pieces inside as well.  Concrete has such great texture, and the patina on the vintage concrete adds wonderful eye appeal...inside or out!

I have these two "stumps" (I can't throw anything away) just lying around...need to do something fun with them.  Any suggestions?

I have two of these vintage "faux bois" planters.

This was one of the 'legs' of a concrete bench, but the top broke into.  I had this old piece of scaffolding which I used to make another bench.  I think this has more character!

Another broken piece from a bird bath....

I found this vintage birdbath at an estate sale many years ago.

Funny thing....NOBODY knows how 'bunny' lost it's ears!  Can't imagine!!!

Fall in Florida......Not!

Even though it is 90 degrees outside, I'm trying hard to feel the fall fever.  I searched my garden and even ventured into my neighbor's to find some fall colors....

It's Wednesday....White in the Bedroom

I have several sets of linens for the bedroom...a soft blue, green  & brown for the summer, brown & white for winter, but my favorite is the "all white" ensemble!  The bedroom is quite small, but I am pleased with the cozy feeling of the small space.  There are two large 'offset' windows, and this is basicially the only way of situating the bed and furniture.  How much room does one need in the bedroom anyway?

I love this cross.  It hangs on the wall by my nightstand as a constant reminder that I have a place to lay down my burdens of the day!

I am the recipient of the "Honest Scrap" Award

A big thank you to  Kathleen at  Faded Charm for awarding the "Honest Scrap" award to me.  Well,  this is all new to me, and I am glad to participate.  So, here's what  I am supposed to do....
* Say thanks and give a link to the presenter of the award.
* Share "10 Honest Things" about myself.
* Present this award to 7 others whose blogs I find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged me.

And away we go:

1.  First and most importantly, I am a Christian, and I try daily to live in obedience to God and His word.

2.  I do not always meet the goals of #1, but God is faithful, and He doesn't ever give up on me!

3.  I have been married for 31 years, and my husband and I have been in love for 37 years.  I have one son who is 26, and am the proud grandmother to his son who is 6 years old.

4.  Even though I have had to work full time for the past 2 years, my heart's desire is to be able to stay home, where I can 'play house', cook, garden and have more time to create and decorate!

5.  I desire to live a simple life.

6.  I'd rather live in my small comfortable home, than in a fancy mansion.

7.  I'd rather go the the nursery and buy a new wonderful plant than to buy a new outfit.

8.  Give me a piece of primitive furniture in original chippy white paint anyday, than diamonds or gold!

9.  The only shoes I wear are Birkenstocks or Crocs.

10. I am content!!

"Annie Britt" in my vegetable garden

This is my sweet kitty "Annie Britt".  She is lovingly named after my Grandmother who lived to be 104!  She loved to garden and loved her cats as well, so when my friend gave me this kitty, I knew right away what to name her.....

Now if she would only pull those weeds!

INSPIRE!

When I got home from work today, I had a package at the door.  It was this wonderful banner that I won in Lisa's recent giveaway.  I found the perfect place and immediately hung it!  Be sure to check out her wonderful creations at http://tarnishedandtattered.blogspot.com/.

Which leads me to this question....Should I paint the french doors white?

The doors lead to my office/studio, which I'll share someday when it gets cleaned up!

WHITE WEDNESDAY "UTILITY"......Useful Items I Enjoy....In White

Definition of Utility:  From Old French utilite (“‘usefulness’”) (French utilité), ultimately from Latin uti (“‘to use, enjoy’”).

My father-in-law thought I was nuts when I asked him for this old hammer from his shop.  He just didn't understand...It's White!!!

Useful items in the kitchen....

      This is an old paper mache' dough bowl with collection

"MOSS"...A Short Story by Susie

I'm not really sure why I have a 'fascination' with moss, but I do know where it all began....Many years ago, I was taking 'herb' classes at the home of a wonderfully escentric older couple.  They had the most beautiful herb gardens and their home was so quaint and cozy.  Each week she taught on a different herb.  We had to smell and touch each herb and write in our journals 'what the herb was saying to us'!  The husband taught cooking, and was an expert in baking the most delicious french bread I have ever tasted which we ate along with a gourmet lunch....Oh, it was so much fun!  One day, while I was walking quitely through the gardens enjoying the wonderful sights and fragrances of the herbs, I came upon the most beautiful pot of herbs with this green moss surrounding the base of the plants. I had never seen it before, but it was love at first sight.  I promptly asked her "where can I get some of that moss?"  She looked at me straight in the eye and said "you just have to steal it". Needless to say, when I left that day, I had my very own clump of moss! 

Imagine my joy (fast forward about 15 years), when I was walking around at my friends property and spotted mounds of that same lovely green moss growing happily all over the yard....Well, I won't go into details, but....once again...I have moss!

God Bless America...We Remember ~September 11~

 May God Bless America, our troops and military personnel who are fighting so hard for our freedom.  May we never take freedom for granted, but be continually grateful to live in this great country of ours.  May God bless us all with peace and comfort today and always...Amen

Welcome White Wednesday....Featuring Cupboards, Cabinets and Cubbies

This is the cupboard in my office/studio which holds all my paperwork and goodies.

Bathroom Storage!

These are my kitchen cabinets.  They are the original cabinets from the 1950's with the craziest knobs.  I definitely want to replace them....just not sure which direction to go.  The only thing is that I have a total of 20 knobs and 8 pulls to replace!  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....

My Labor Day......I planted my first vegetable garden, using the 'Square Foot' method

I first dug up the soil and added compost, manure and spagnum peat.  I then covered the area with clear plastic for 6 weeks to 'solarize' (kill all the bad stuff)!  My husband built the 4' square and we then divided it into 16, 12" squares.

Today, I planted tomatoes, peppers, okra, beans, white eggplant, collards and parsley.  I was going to plant some seeds, but the Farmers Almanac said that seeds planted today would die!  I am going to use this old fence as a trellis for the beans and tomatoes.  Now I need to make some 'cute' markers for the veggies, so's I don't forget what I planted!  Wish me luck, and hope my green thumb prevails!

Things I have more than one of....

VINTAGE GARDEN STUFF -- WHITE WEDNESDAY

It didn't take long after I fell in love with gardening and antiques to start collecting old and unique garden items for use in my garden and home. I love sharing my things with others and telling their stories.  Here and below are a few wonderful white garden things that make my heart go pitter-patter.

This is probably my all time favorite vintage pot...so many layers of white paint!

Collection of small creamy white pots for seedlings from Europe

I just love the patina of old white paint that has sustained the elements for so many years!

Old garden bench....Sit At Your Own Risk!

A vintage bee skep in my herb garden.

I just love this old box with the white paint...makes a great planter

Singing the Praises of Gorilla Glue - "The Strongest Glue on Planet Earth"

This glue works great on pottery, concrete, metal, baskets, and so much more. When drying it expands so it fills in holes. I would suggest removing excess glue before it dries completely. FYI

This is an old silver 'bowl' glued to a wood base..The Gorilla Glue is the only glue that would hold it together.










My husband wanted to throw out this big old pot because it was broken in so many places, but I surely did fix it. I want to plant a lemon tree in it.  I need to scrape off the glue and I may faux paint the pot white. What do you think?

A bouquet of weeds....If you can't beat 'um....join 'um!

Even at the end of a stressful day, a short late afternoon stroll through the garden can put a smile on my face and joy in my heart. I took a few pictures to share my 'treasures' of the day!

Things that made me smile today.....

My hubby brought this home the other day...He did good!  Oh, but what to do with it?  Any ideas?

A girl's gotta have a place to hang her shoes, hat, and a comfy place to land at the end of the day!

I just love my comfy old rocker!  I wonder how many others have enjoyed endless hours of rocking.

Bee Love...

Pottery beeskep left behind by a highschool student. I bought it for $1.00..I just love this!

Black Eyed Susan Vine and White Angelonia

White Wednesday....Buckets, Baskets & Benches

I'm so thrilled to be a part of this 'white' event. I have loved all things white and have collected white for many years, and I am honored to be able to share with other 'like-minded' friends. Enjoy and I would love to hear from you...Blessings,
Susie

This is the basket we used growing up for laundry. It took years for me to convince Mom that I should have it..

This wall basket was found at Heart of Country show in Nashville. Mary Emmerling was there to help 'seal the deal'

My latest find...a little tattered, but I only paid $.99 on ebay...

Gym baskets in my office/workroom cabinet...rusty white paint...love,love,love

I had this lonesome spot in my living room that needed something....So I found this old bench and had to cover the top with burlap..works pretty good!

Bucket Bench used as my nightstand

"These are a few of my favorite things..."
