...Tied up with string

I am still working elf-like getting ready for the holiday..

Dreaming up Christmas glitz...


Waiting to see if the BIG snow storm hits here...

Drinking coffee...

Catching up
with the rest of the Vintage Christmas Monday posts...






Loving the colors of these old ornaments...





Michaels had cinnamon scented pinecones on sale so now it even SMELLS like Christmas!

What about you? What are you UP TO today?

  1. i do love the cinnamon scented pinecones, too! i "dipped" mine in white latex paint and thought that i had ruined the scent - but once the paint dried, they have smelled wonderful again:) there are a couple on my white wednesday post today.

  2. Good Morning Joan...
    I love these beautiful Christmas ornaments you have shared. They are so pretty tied up with strings.

    I am trying to get the last of my decorations completed. I still have 4 trees to finish decorating, but I am getting closer to finishing.

    Yesterday we dipped pretzel sticks in chocolate and rolled them in sprinkles and some in coconut. Turned out wonderful.

    Loving the holiday sweetie. Please stop by and say hi. I love the company. Country hugs, Sherry

  5. I finished my Christmas cards, my sister is coming in a little while to pick up the gifts for her family as we leave next week to head south for Christmas. I'm looking through cookbooks to plan something for our Christmas with our son, little grandsons and my husband's parents on Saturday. The boys would love it if I just had mac and cheese and grapes (they are 1 and almost 3) but the in-laws might want a bit more!

  7. Your ornaments are lovely! Very quaint. I bought cinnamon scented pinecones last year...well actually my daughter bought them for me..such a sweetie. anyhoo..they weren't as strong this year, duh. I recented them with cinnamon refresher oil. They are now yummy again!!

  11. The ornaments are wonderful. I'd love to see that little bell ornament and how you did that. It looks so cute. I've been seeing lots of red and white around blogland this year. So festive!
    Blessings,

  12. Just got back from doing some Christmas shopping! We got very little snow here, but I think you probably got more up there. Isn't the wind fun today? It looks like a battlefield in the yard, with all of the decorations blown over! That box of ornaments is lovely!
    xo,

  18. Hi Joan
    Christmas is just not Christmas for me without cinnamon sticks. My niece thinks cinnamon is made purely for Auntie Julie's Christmas.. must be why I not quite in the Christmas mood yet.. although all your vintage xmas post are so delightful... I really need to find some so I can join in on this fun!!

    Have a great weekend.. xxx Julie

  21. Hi Joan, I love vintage glass ornaments and will continue to look for them throughout the coming year. You've been a busy girl lately...
    Today I am going to lunch with a fellow blogger who lives under 10 minutes from me. We met in the spring and have become fast friends since. I am finally done decorating, even though I had to forego putting up one last tree. Oh well, there is always next year and 7 are more than plenty for this year!
