                               final finishing touches on my new book (soft cover) Country Christmas but
                               I am happy to say it is now done and ready for sale online.

                               So today I have a little preview for you and a chance for one of you to win a copy.

                                                               in the boathouse.

                       Country Christmas is a collection of my favorite winter/ Christmas shots
                                  from both the winter garden and inside our home and garden cottages.

                                   If you would like to order or see more  you can see a preview  here                                                             from Magcloud.

                                 Today was a beautiful day here so after hitting publish I enjoyed getting
                                 the windowboxes filled with their winter greens and then moved inside
                                 to start doing some Christmas decorating. I am happy to be able
                                 to get started on decorating for winter/ Christmas as I love the season
                                 so much....you too? I finally had a chance to take some new pics for you,
                                 I will post them shortly.

                                Now, if you would like a chance to win a copy of my Country Christmas

Time Worn Treasures & Antiques

                                                                       Hello everyone,
                                It has been awhile since I posted but I had no computer access for the past
                                several days so I have a lot of catching up to do!
                                Anyway, I hope you will enjoy a peek into one of my favorite shops in
                                town ~ Time Worn Treasures and Antiques.
                                 I love the beautiful antique christening gown above.

                                                           Pretty chenille pillows etc.

                                                                   Something for everyone

                                                There is always lots of pretty linens and lace.

                                                 

                                                            A complete set of Noritake china

                                                     

                    Lori is proudly displaying her new line of Miss Mustard Seed paint she is now selling.

                                                                     Pretty pink china

                       It is always interesting to drop in and see what is new at Lori's shop
                                  Time Worn Treasures and Antiques on the St Peters Rd.

                                 I have been busy over the past couple of months working on a Christmas/Winter
                                 book and hope to have it finished shortly so I may be absent for the next few
                                 days while I work on it. I am excited over how it is coming along ~ you know
                                 how I love Christmas!

                                 Hope you are having a good week!
