We’ve had several large donations come in recently so we are getting the Food Pantry shelves restocked. But there are some areas (like breakfast cereal!) that can always use more. Thank you to everyone in our local community who give so generously, especially over the holidays!

This year, all the bright shiny ornaments got their own little tree.

We got the tree up and decorated yesterday, a couple of days late from our traditional day-after-Thanksgiving decorating calendar. I had planned on putting up a few outdoor lights today but now I see that it’s raining. So there’s that. It’s starting to look like a rolling decorative schedule. Our church is beautifully decorated for the holidays so thank you to all the staff and volunteers who worked on that project, we appreciate you and your service!

I picked up two vintage sleds this past summer from online estate sales. They were in pretty bad shape but I never thought we would use them for sledding. This year they are making an appearance in our outdoor Christmas decor. Still need to add a bit of greenery to this one but I like how it looks all casual, ready to go sledding!

More online estate auction pieces. When I started bidding on this lamp, I was hoping it would fit in with the decor, be the right size, and be easy to repair. I was thrilled to get it for $4. It just needed a new shade and rewiring and it looks great in the family room with it’s Caribbean beach vibe. Yay auctions!
