A Little Peek

Oh baby, I have 5 days off from work!

So I am going to do those things I wanted to do on vacation
 and did not get to do.
It involves Christmas gifts

I have been scanning today
and
using some things from
Graphic Fairy
Had this Christmas post card and added
the garland around it.
Going to be..........you will have to wait and see.
my very
favorite 
post card.
I bought it from a cute little elderly lady
in Paris at one of the stalls on the Seine.

this one has already been used in the past for 
a pillow in the blue bedroom at 1515
found this recipe written by my Great Grandmother.
It is written on paper from their electrical shop.
See the address and day and night phone numbers?
I paired it with this 

Ahh what is it going to be??

Even scanned a cookbook
for a present

Well I better get back to my work!

Vintage Gifts

I guess my family and friends know I love old things.
Several of my Christmas gifts were vintage things this year, and last
week I showed you the beautiful silver piece my SIL gave me.

Today I want to show you what my cousin gave me!

A little red step ladder and and a yellow rooster to boot!
It looks good in the kitchen at 1515, although for looks only...it is a little
wobbly. 

The rooster planter matches the ones she got me last year
along with the one I found that reside in the kitchen window.



Great red color and just the right amount of wear

When I was at 1515 my friend that I go to the auction with
had a surprise for me!
She got this at the auction for me so I don't have to haul my
kitchen aide mixer back and forth at Christmas!
Wasn't it nice of her.

The weekend ended on a bitter note...........a water line break at
1515. It is right by the meter, I wonder how much this is going to
cost......say a prayer for me that it is not too bad :(
