Open House Party


    Welcome to the Open House Party.

    I am looking forward to seeing what you have to share this week.
    You will find the link to join the party at the bottom of this post.

    First, we have the fabulous home of Sue @ Sullivan And Murphy to tour. 
    Sue has created a warm and beautiful home and it is my pleasure to
    feature it at this weeks Open House Party. 






    This is so pretty that I had to throw in a Christmas picture.


    What a warm and inviting kitchen!

    Isn't this landscaping fabulous?

    Sue,  Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

    I hope you will visit Murphy And Sullivan to see more of this home as well
    as the gorgeous vignettes Sue creates.

    On to the party...

After Christmas Sales


    I hope everyone had a great holiday!

    .  I normally take the decorations down Christmas night or at the latest the next morning.
      I know this is a little strange but once the celebration is over I am ready to have a
    clean and organized house.  Now that we have a smaller artificial tree I need to get
    some of the ornaments sorted and donated.  This is no easy job because we have hundreds
    and hundreds of ornaments collected over the years. My daughter-in-law has requested
    some of the Radko ornaments and I will be keeping a few of my favorites.

    I did a little after Christmas shopping,  though the store's selections seemed rather limited.
    I purchased a couple of sweaters while out shopping Monday and also ordered two things
     on-line from Wisteria .  This cute tree skirt from Wisteria is perfect for my coastal design
    Christmas and at 75% off it was quite a deal.  


    These little hearts remind me of French memorial markers.


    I got away without too much damage to my pocketbook!

    The Open House Party starts tomorrow evening.  I hope to see you there.

    Hugs,
    Sherry





Early Christmas Gift & INTAGLIO WINNER


    My dad had a giant clam shell that has been sitting in his rock garden for 30+ years.  I have asked him
    numerous times if he would sell it to me,  and the answer was always NO.  He asked me
    what I wanted this year for Christmas and I jokingly said the clam shell,  but never really
    expecting he would let go of it.

    Dad could not understand why in the world I would even want the "old, dirty shell"
    and he said all the times I asked to buy it he thought I was kidding. He even said he
    would be so embarrassed if anyone knew he gave me an old shell for a Christmas gift.

    Last week while visiting my family for an early Christmas, Dad gave me the giant clam shell as
    well as the largest conch shell I have ever seen.  He had cleaned and bleached both shells
    and had them ready for me to take home.

    The only problem was they weighed between 60-70 pounds and couldn't be checked as luggage.
    Shipping them home would have been really expensive, so I had to leave my shells there
    for now. Can you believe I forgot to even get a picture?  I plan on getting them
    next time we drive to Florida,  or if we get moved there anytime soon.

    Until I can get my Christmas gifts home here are some photos for inspiration.
