New: Santa socks from Target. I know, they look a little “house-fell-on-the-wicked-witch” paired these shoes, but I couldn’t resist trying them on together. 🙂 A little Dr. Seussy, too.
Old: This is a great sweater my grandmother knit for my dad when he was a kid. There is a part across the middle where she added length after he outgrew it! Now that’s refashioning at it’s best.
New: kid-made cookies for breakfast. (what…)
Old: The Santa mug tradition. This one is only a few years old, but I sure loved the santa mugs of my childhood. Especially the winking one.
New: A fresh bloom on the amaryllis
New: sticky Christmas kid crafts
New: this years ornament, brought back from Russia by my mom. Look, she’s got yarn!







I’m totally jealous of your amaryllis (sp?). I started one, but I think I looked at it wrong or something, because it decided NOT to grow. At least I got a cute red pot out of the deal.
What an adorable ornament! I need one! We have three nesting dolls..and I love the fresh bloom! And the socks are tooo cute! Go girl!
Funny, the first thought I have of the stockings was that they reminded me more of CindyLou Who’s mom.
Too cute!
Great photos. Thanks for sharing some of your favorite things!
Love the socks! 😀
So beautiful
I love the santa stockings. They are def more Dr Seuss than wicked witch and so festive!
Love the socks! I may have to head down to Target to pick some up for myself. We always have brunch at my parents for breakfast and I think I’d look super cute with these babies on.
I have to admit my first thought was of Witchy-poo, lol. I love using Christmas mugs! I’ve got a handmade snowman mug in use at the moment.
My first thought of the wonderful Santa socks was Raggedy Ann!!! Love ’em.
Oh, the santa socks (did you just walk out the set of Wizard of OZ?) 🙂 Loving all the christmas cheer around the house, the gingerbread house is fab.
Love you photos. Cute socks
