used to give money gifts or to hide little stocking stuffers or a nice piece of jewelry as you can see each box has a drawer lined with coordinating paper the candy cane holly above are vintage appliques most likely from the 1960s there are some with nostalgic scenes and this set has one box with a cute little carved shell bird and of course there are snow baby boxes i love the expression on that kids face i don t think he really likes the snow just like me the snow baby is a red lead paperworks image there are some other little holiday giftbox sets in my etsy shop but once they re gone

our tree for that very purpose there is no going out to the malls for us again this year been there done that santa did do a bit of shopping for me in an etsy shop he knows what i like maybe you want

november 22 2012 happy thanksgiving this is my most vivid thanksgiving memory mom in grandma grandpa metti s kitchen at the tiny little table in there carving the turkey so we could enjoy our thanksgiving feast of course there were many sides and the big table in the dining room and the kids table in the living room with family all around just waiting to dig in but this photo will always say thanksgivng to me the kitchen where the turkey was being carved was the place to be and there were fights over the crispy turkey skin soooooooooooooo yummy quite carefree before we knew the dangers lurking there btw could she have had a smaller platter why wasn t she carving on a cutting board oh and the stuffing was inside the turkey and none of us died from stuffing poisoning or overcooked turkey i also wonder who has that killer knife i have that apron maybe i ll wear it today to you yours have a very happy thanksgiving posted by debbie at 8 37 am 1 comment thursday november 15 2012 on sale in my etsy shop are you in the mood for christmas yet i m preparing for a friend s christmas craft fair in december so it s been christmas around here for a long time now that s ok i like christmas back in july i listed some vintage christmas sewing patterns in my etsy shop kittencreates a few sold but since it was time to renew the listings i figured i d give y all a break on the prices so you could jump start your sewing projects i ve loved gifting people with handcrafted ornaments over the years and i still hear from some of them as they decorate their tree think of me in the mood for a little holiday entertaining this one is crafted mainly from felt so it s quick easy it s a fun retro look too there s even a vintage vogue embroidery pack with all of the iron on transfers unused these can add a festive touch to napkins for your holiday table more each of these patterns and more that are in my shop is priced from 1 50 to 2 50 so they re a great deal for discontinued vintage patterns once they re gone they re gone posted by debbie at 7 59 am no comments wednesday november 14 2012 it s the simple things that make me happy it really doesn t take a lot to make me happy the evidence is shown in this picture i was talking to our next door neighbor mentioned how i was making things for christmas using clothespins she asked if i wanted some old wooden clothespins that had been her mother in law s my neighbor didn t like this type and they re the ones i always look for these have been well used have an awesome patina on them and now i have a nice basket full they are probably from the 1950s 1960s vintage just like me life s simple pleasures from one neighbor to another posted by debbie at 9 12 am no comments sunday november 11 2012 my last day of being in my 50s the year i turned 4 i never dreamed that one day i would be facing the very last day i can say i m in my 50s but that day is here today at times i m amazed i ve survived this long most times it seems as if it s all gone by so fast i got my ohio buckeye card in the mail a couple weeks ago i m officially a card carrying oldie now but i can get some discounts which i m not too proud to accept even the ne ohio weather seems as if it will cooperate for my last day in my 50s we re supposed to have sun temps in the 70s we ll spend the day running around to some favorite places like trader joe s and making sure we get the snow crab legs for my birthday dinner tomorrow my birthday looks as if it will be miserable weather the forecast is for rainy gloomy cold again so we ll just hibernate with all the good stuff we gather today have a great week be sure to remember the veterans who fought to give us our freedom and toast me with your beverage of choice tomorrow posted by

our president for 4 more years and sherrod brown remains in the senate so that makes me my democratic heart happy too now if only i could say that my house representative actually represents me but he doesn t i guess 2 out of 3 ain t bad my big hope wish came through so i m thrilled i love the artwork above from obama s first victory and hope they come up with a new commemorative for this year too of course i was up late to hear the concession speech and obama s victory speech i feel confident we re being led by a strong man who cares about all the people that things will continue to move forward in the next 4 years oh and the blasted robo calls have stopped posted by debbie at 3 13 pm 1 comment saturday november 3 2012 i voted early by mail i hope everyone exercises their right to vote this year you can see how i cast my vote i really think obama is the best only choice for president in 2012 the other side scares the shit outa me it s been both interesting frustrating to live in oh through this election i keep looking for something good that has come from our time here in this hell hole maybe helping obama win ohio will be the reason i d like that posted by debbie at 8 30

friend tom i think he likes it he s never come back to tell me he doesn t he has visited me to tell me he hates one of my lamps decorating advice from the beyond growing up in wasp headquarters in parma oh i had never heard of dia de los muertos death was a very very sad occasion mourned and commemorated by weekly visits with my parents to my grandma s grave my mom was always so very sad standing there crying at her mom s grave i never got it i didn t need to go to the gravesite to remember my dear grandma i much prefer the mexican culture s view of death death is a part of life it is inevitible and rather than mourn lives of loved ones who have moved on their lives should be celebrated remembered life and death are not contrary worlds we are a single stem with two twin flowers
