My Seasonal Decor 1

Hello,

As this is supposed to be a merry season, I am not going to address any serious issue today, however, tomorrow I might post what is on my mind! 

This year, like last year, I am not putting ornaments on those pesky little hooks. I will use any ornament called a pick or a clip, that is easier to remove, but for now, I have ornaments in a container, as you see below.

Chandeliers are so glamorous, I'd like to have one in every room of the house! For now, here is a chandelier ornament:

Goodwill received a shipment of boxes containing porcelain dolls. Inside the box, the cardboard support around the heads and arms was still unmoved, and the tissue papers and certificates were still there.  When I went back, they were all removed from the charming boxes and set up with all the used dolls. I remembered this one in the box. I think it reduces the value when the box is gone, but who can keep empty boxes around unless they have an attic. However as an added bonus, in the box, they cost $29 and on the shelf minus the box, the price was $7.99. We have discount coupons here for donations, so I used mine and got it for less.

I thought this doll went well with my decor, and I have  missed having dolls and toys laying around the house. It is good to have a stash of toys around,  so I'm trying to replace some Lego, some trucks, as well as  other things, for visiting children. You might see some here in future posts.

I have taken 4 yards of plaid fleece and cut it into lengths to use as little blankets throughout the house to give some color and comfort, and yes, people do use them when they come, on their laps or as shawls. I plan to use some as tablecloths, too. 

I have more pictures, which I will post throughout the week.  

Decor is not for making  an impression but to create comfort for others, and to feed my senses with good, lovely and delightful reminders of beauty and God's wonderful blessings.

Sometimes I will get a comment or an email from someone accusing me of having a blog "that is all about YOU."  I know other bloggers that have received the same cutting remarks.  It is designed by old cranks who want to unsettle you by shifting your focus away from your home and your interests.

In case there are some new viewers who are influenced by negative remarks like this, a blog is similar to keeping a log, list, diary etc. Iblog is short for web-log.   If someone has a web log, you rather expect it to be an update of what they are doing at home, in business, or other interests.

At this current time in history, it's rather ignorant to be making the accusation, " It's all about you," because that is generally what it is. Do you expect me to write about someone else's personal interest? That would be very much like walking on eggshells, because of copyright and gossip, and all that.
