Ramsign

Remember when I won a sign from Boho Farms blogspot! You don't? Well, I did. And guess what...it came and it is beautiful. Ramsign makes gorgeous signs folks.

It's enamel and it is very high quality. I can't wait to see what it looks like on our new house. I really like it.

Check out Ramsign for a unique gift idea.

Vintage decorating and the Quitters

I told you the other day, I've been decorating for Christmas. I started on Sunday, and I am not finished. This is an aluminum Christmas tree. No balls on it yet. Why? Well, because apparently when I stored them last year, I stored them with the rest of the ornaments, which aren't coming out until we get our real tree up. So, I have an aluminum tree up that is nakey. But it has a color wheel. So that helps.

I love vintage, retro, old; such as these ornaments.

And these Santa Clauses...or is it Claus's. Either way, I have two of them.

All of the vintage Christmas things I have came from garage sales over the years.

My Mom told me the other day that if she knew I was going to want all of this stuff when I got older, she would have saved it for me. Jeeeesh. It is all reminiscent of my childhood.

This wreath came with our house. Lots of stuff came with our house. We bought it off of the original owners, who were in their 90's. Officially, we purchased it from their 70 something year old daughter. I wish I still had some of the stuff that was left in this house (sigh) Anyway, I'm not finished decorating. We still have to put up our real tree. But I've started.

I had to because on Tuesday morning, I had some ladies over for breakfast that I used to work with at Purdue.

I'm standing on the left in the back. The one standing beside me is moving to Arizona! The one beside her, well, she was an Indiana University employee, but she acts more like us, so we let her join us. The one on the right, standing... it was her birthday. She will not divulge her age, but it's in the 60's somewhere. I've lost track!!!! These women are all good friends. You know how you worked with people for such a long time, they become like family? Yup, they are...like family. I love 'em. Oh yeah, we all meet once a month for breakfast, usually at Panera Bread, and we call ourselves the Quitters! We couldn't claim that we all retired from Purdue because not all of us retired. Some of us Quit....hence The Quitters!
