Christmas everywhere

Some Christmas @ the store.

                                           Have tons of fun putting some of the stuff together.

                       
                                                                       Christmas @home

             I love how the fireplace mantel turn out. This cones I got about 5 years ago @Big Lots.

                  Shabby chic manger scene that I purchased @ Hobby Lobby many years ago.

I was not going to do any trees at home but could not resist 2 little ones like this that I found @ Salvation Army for 3.00 ea., why not?

I'm hoping Christmas shopping will pick up some around here. I have had the worst couple of months in many years and my prayers are that is just a fluke and not a trend. Hopefully your area is doing better, specially for those of you that depend on it. I will hang in there and pray, as always. Blessings to you all, Marta.

It is starting to look a lot like Christmas

       Ok, for retail standards I'm so behind is not even funny.  Have been working non stop on that and everything else that needs to be done. We are building a big storage building beside the shop and that took a lot of running around for a week, thank God it is supposed to get done in a week and that will allow me to get out of renting a storage space which I hated doing. It is scary too since I have hoarding tendencies but my husband assured me he will keep me in check. I need that, I don't trust myself. I'm actually thinking I want  to later in the Spring host a  soiree and having that space will be fantastic so I don't want to fill it to where it will become an issue to use it in a different way aside from storing. Well, now to the stuff you like, pictures of the progress.

I still have a lot of tweaking to do. Friday I will be doing the window and my booth Downtown Belton. So much to do, so little time, and that is with me waking up at 6:00 AM everyday. I kind of like my new schedule because by 12:00 noon I have done so much. Blessings to you all, till next time, Marta.

Very late White Wednesday post.

It is more like White Friday. Sitting here for two seconds after being able to sleep for two hours last night. Got a very busy day ahead of me, goal is to totally decorate the shop inside for Christmas at the same time I craft and put about 10 new vignettes together. We will see how much I will actually get done. I thought I will show you what I made last night during my insomnia spell. You might as well stay busy. Hope you like!.

                                AHH... I so want to hoard her. I will be making a lot of one of the kind creations using vintage materials I have accumulated thru the years. Time to let go and make some money.

                                                  Love the lace on her dress.

                                        The crown is going on a dressform  that I'm putting together.

                                                            Of course I want her too.

                                            The laces on this little dresses is just exquisite.

   I think she turn out pretty cool. On to work now. I will take pictures of the shop and show you more creations as I get them done. Blessings, Marta.
