A last look at Christmas

As usual it was a wonderful Christmas, 
from the 1515 party 
to having my brother and sister in law for Christmas dinner 
and enjoying my dining room.
Love my new friend my sister in law got me, his tree lights up!

As 2020 starts I think of all the things I wanted 
to do around the house this year and didn’t get done...again!
So I think I will make a list to refer to over the year and see if I can accomplish more.
I also hope to post more! 


Cousin Fred who I mention, his daughter from Seattle bought a little home down the street from 1515 to vacation at when she is in town. I have been so excited for her, because it reminds me of when I bought 1515. 
Her beautiful dining room, she brought this gorgeous dining set from Seattle that she got on Craigslist. 
The dining room has a built in hutch and she couldn’t wait to use her Grandmothers Fostoria and her Moms Pfaszfgraft. 
Beautiful hardwood floors, pocket doors and 2 front doors just like 1515.

   

 We had a wonderful dinner the first night I was in town, it was a great way to kick off 
the time at home
 She brought her cat with and had to be away a couple of days so I went over to take care of her.
I knew the dining room with that big bay window would be sunny during the day




This is going to be the music room, her husbands GGrandparents seat from Germany. 
She is going to put Fred’s Grand piano and our GGrandparents phonograph here.

Now on to 1515



 A trip to Terre Haute to get Mr a Christmas present!

 Fred and Mr enjoying his early present
 3 generations! The grandfather, his Mother and my Grandfather  were first cousins, but he was the executor of 1515 when I bought. His Grandaughter is a realtor and sold Fred’s daughters house to her! We keep it all in the family. 
 Went to a estate sale at a friends. She sold me tons of shiny brites! This bag of perfect bells $3!


 Don’t the twins look adorable in their plaids?
 Everybody brings such yummy foods!

 All my favorite guys
sunday after everyone left this happened! I happily was snowed in until Tuesday. 










 Love my little tree from Target, perfect for my new bells






 Finally the twins and Fred’s daughter made it over for dinner and cookie decorating. Christmas music, laughter, baking in my Grandmothers kitchen.



Merry Christmas from 1515
I hope yours was as blessed as mine.
