Come for a Visit to Kansas City ...


I've finally gotten pictures taken and edited and if you'll allow me a few minutes of your time, I'd be happy to give you a wee little tour of my home.

I wish I could leave Christmas up all year long, but come February, my DH starts dropping hints like "Isn't it about time to pack up the Christmas tree??" Anyway, here a few of my favorite pieces ♥


My Sarah Epp Santa and Belsnickles from Chickadee Primitives, Mustard Seed, Hoot-n-Hollar, and One Big Brown Dog! ♥

I love my Cool Jinx /Carol Roll originals! They always make me smile ♥


Notice the awesome sleigh on the top left of my postal desk? That was an unexpected delightful gift from Jen Blomquist, of the Prairie House Primitives !! I was patiently waiting for my log cabin that I bought from her - I knew it would be the perfect compliment to my Bel from Hidden in the Attic (see pics below) and when I opened this HUGE box ... surprise!!! It felt like my birthday and Christmas and 4th of July all rolled into one box ♥ It's a lovely gift, a beautiful gesture from a dear sweet friend, and I will always treasure it!


My Goldi"LooHoo" sign that was the icing on this entryway "cake"!

This red Belsnickle was from Paula and Tammie's awesome blog drawing that I WON!!! Man, that was the luckiest week of my life ♥


Here are my treasures from Paula Buremen for our Holiday Swap on TDIPT... and my log cabin from Jen arrived on Monday - I think they were made to be seen together, dont you?


Treasures from Little*ole*Me and Pywakit Primitives


in the upstairs hallway ♥

Moving into the kitchen - I've got lots of treasures, including Countryfolk Gingers and Beecharmer Santas filled to the brim on a tree!

Treasures from Frowning Francis, with the Trio of singers above, Magpie Nest's sweet little Snowgirl below and Vintage Primitives Santa nestled in a mountain of poinsettia's.

Last on the tour is the family room -



Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my humble abode, filled with treasures from so many awesome artists!
BUT WAIT... THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU, TOO!
You too can be featured in my grand tour - Just mail something that you handcrafted and I will be MOST happy to shine the spotlight on it with glee and glad tidings ♥

"All through the house..." it looks like Christmas! How lovely! Even your kitchen is decorated! What a great idea, after all, the cooks among us tend to spend quite a bit of time in there!

Thanks for the tour -- very festive!

I enjoyed my visit to your blog very much! I laughed when I saw your about me! Are you my missing twin? I think I have report cards that say the exact same thing, even our names are the same! I tried and tried to be quiet in school, but something would come up and.....I wrote a lot of sentences! Now if I had to do it over, I could just cut and paste LOL. Karen
