The Weather Outside is Frightful!

Hello sweet bloggerettes! We had a whopper of a snowstorm here in central NJ, and I just thought I would share some pictures. It was nice to get some snow for the holidays, but this was a bit much! lol It actually was a blizzard, as you will see the snow drifts in the following pics. This picture was taken in the late afternoon on Dec 26th. So still and quiet, no one hardly on the roads.

This is our backyard.

The next morning! Our little bug is almost buried!

The wall in the backyard, wait what wall? It's completely covered.

Hubby is snow blowing.

The neighbors house next door. They haven't even begun to dig out. The weather channel said we got about 19". It is going to take a while to dig out. I am contented for now catching up on blogs, and laundry. Hope everyone is safe, and recuperating from a long holiday weekend. Thanks for coming by.

Snowdrift on neighbors roof!

Merry Christmas

I just wanted to wish all of my blog friends a Merry Christmas, and a bright happy and healthy
New year!

Christmas Vignettes

Hello, and happy holidays! I thought I would share some pictures of my vignettes around my home. I hope you all are enjoying the season so far. I'm linking up with Cindy of My Romantic Home for show and tell Friday. Here is my snowman collection. I put down red and white lights first, and then the batting over the top. You can't see the lights in these pics, because we used the big spotlight to take these pics.

You can click on any picture to make it bigger. The little sign I made in the front of the snowmen, says "Shaped by the cold, from the Warmth of Young Hearts." I usually leave them up til February. Some of them I had made a few yrs ago. They are the ones in the front with the little scarves on. There is a father, mother, and children.

This is my Christmas village, made with houses that my dear mother-in-law made in needlepoint. there are several others that I just didn't have room for. The red one in the front is a firehouse.

I love this part of the village where there are trees and wreaths for sale. My mother-in-law made the little tiny wreaths. Aren't' they just adorable? Next to the fence stands a mailbox for Santa's mail.

It takes quite awhile to assemble everything. I leave this up til Feb also. It looks so pretty at night with the white lights underneath it. Thanks for coming by, and may all your Christmas wishes come true! Don't forget to stop by Cindy's to see the other participants.

Pink Saturday

Hello, welcome to another pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/12/pink-saturday-december-11-2010.html Thanks Beverly! Today, I am sharing some random pink yumminess with you! Click on any photo to enlarge. Aren't these trees just adorable!

I had planned on making one of these, but I didn't complete it.

I purchased this adorable little wreath from Miss Rhea over at http://sweetnshabbyroses.blogspot.com/ She is a sweet lady with lots of pink yumminess over there. Thanks Rhea!

I fell in love with this sweet vintage Christmas card. It has glitter on it, but didn't show up in the photo. They don't make them cute like this anymore.

Here is my little pink Christmas vignette on my coffee table. I love the little pink houses and trees!

I found this pretty ruffled pink milk glass bowl on sale in an antique shop last year. I loved how it looks with the pink and gold ornaments. On the left is a mercury glass votive holder from Micheals craft store. Hope you enjoyed your visit, and don't forget to visit Beverly for lots more pink goodies!

I am sharing a vintage pair of little Lefton girls. Dressed in their Christmas finery, one carries a candy cane, the other a present.
