A New Coffee Nook in my Kitchen!

I guess "coffee station" would be a better word, since a nook probably requires seating.

I got a Keurig from my Church. Being a Pastor's wife has so many pros, that the cons are outweighed mightily. They love me and that means more to me than anything they could ever give me.

I wanted to set up a station just for the keurig and all the K-cups. Yummy Coffee in a few seconds!

Thank you to my Church Family!

Our "Antique Toy" Display on the Sofa Table

When I was a little girl, I always wanted a Mrs. Beasley Doll. (Pictured above) I knew someone who had one and when I would be at her house she would say, "You can look at her put don't pick her up." I really was sad that I couldn't hold Mrs. Beasley. How many of you remember Mrs. Beasley?

Hubby got her for me this year! He gave her to me early so that she could be a part of our Antique Toy Display.

These Raggedy Ann and Andy Dolls were made by my mother, and I'm so glad to have them. They are a treasure to me.

This little monkey we purchased from an antique store. It is identical to the one my hubby had as a child.! He's sitting on a very old container of Lincoln Logs.

This Yellow Wagon is about 40 years old. BabyLove got it from ebay, because he had one just like it when he was a child. It was a Christmas present one year. He was very excited about getting it. It is in very great condition.

I need to take a picture of the Quilt it is all sitting on. It was made for me by my mother. It has a Raggedy Ann and Andy on it. So cute and such a great keepsake!

I hope you enjoyed my Antique Toy Display!



And So, It Begins.......

Gone is the Thanksgiving/Autumn decor and up goes the festive Christmas Adornments to our homes.
Merry Christmas to all.
Enjoy your decorating. Don't get too stressed out.
There's nothing like the feeling when your decor is done and you can relax for the weeks ahead and enjoy the activities with your family.
My sweet daughter in law's helped me tremendously this year. I have a back issue which put me in bed for a couple of days and was so disraught that I couldn't get my decorating done. My home was to be in the Christmas Tour and I would have had to cancel if they had not helped me.

The Tree and a peek at the sideboard:



I put my doll house out every year. This was a very special gift one year from my son, Joel. He heard me say that I had always wanted a doll house for Christmas when I was a little girl but never asked for it because I thought my parents couldn't afford it. I just never told them I wanted one. Imagine my surprise when there was this huge box under the tree for me about 5 years ago. I cried a river when I opened it. Now, how can it get better than that? I am so blessed by the thoughtfulness of my boys. They will all be wonderful dad's someday.

Merry Christmas Everyone! Let the upcoming weeks be a time of Joy and celebration with your Family!
