Antique store find

Please be forewarned: This is a silly post. I know that, but I don't care. There might be a rare few people out there who "get it," but I realize they number but a few.

Most won't understand, and I am okay with that.

These are two of the silliest, happiest buys of the holiday season for me. I stumbled upon these inexpensive Pyrex beauties in a local antique store today, and just had to have them. Five minutes and eleven bucks later, and I am the proud owner of some old Pyrex bowls.


I brought them home, cleaned them up, and set them on the counter. I couldn't bring myself to put them in the cabinet, so I just think I'll leave them out for a while so I can look at them whenever my heart needs a little lift.

They really make me smile.

Merry Christmas!

Santa has come and gone from our house, and he was very generous this year. I snuck in a photo of the Christmas tree, post-Santa's arrival and before Katy could demolish it.

Here's a quiet moment at the end of the day, after a long day of playing with all the toys that Santa (and Nana and Papa!) delivered. I think even the dogs were exhausted, and so they got some good quality sofa cuddling time. Bryan (wisely) opted for the recliner and got to play photographer instead.

Randy looks thrilled to join in the silliness, as she "goes to her quiet place" while Katy dresses her up in some of her new Christmas finery.

Hope that Santa treated everyone similarly wonderfully, and I wish you the happiest and healthiest of New Years!

Ch-ch-changes

There have been lots and lots of changes in the house in the past 18 months. As evidence, I present the formal living room, prior to closing:



And then the newly painted and designated dining room:

And finally, the close-enough-to-call-it-done dining room:

I love a good happy ending!

Merry XMas,

Robin.
