December daily...2

This has to be my very favorite addition to the decorations this year. I picked it up instantly because it reminded me of my Nana. I wish she was still here to see it, I know she would love it too. Some of my favorite ornaments are the felt and sequined ornaments she made for us through the years. I always loved getting gifts from her and Bump to see what kind of ornament she had attached.

I got this piece about a month ago. I have a dear friend named Denise and we try and get together every couple of months. We go and have some really bad (GOOD) junk food and go shopping afterwards. We got together for her birthday and she wanted to go to this particular store which sells antiques, hand made stuff (and some junk too). I walked around the corner while browsing and spied this tree. I didn't check to see how much it was, I grabbed it. When I turned over the price tag I was bargaining in my head about how much I would pay for it. Well, I am happy to say that I got it for a steal at six bucks. Trust me when I say I would have paid a lot more. Sure the green is faded, but the stitching is amazing, and all the sequins are still there. I only wish it could talk. :)

The start of December around here means it's time to break out the advent calendars. My favorite, is the advent candle. I got a few of these a couple of years ago when we went up to Santa Barbara and Solvang. I think they are so pretty. I had never seen them anywhere else before. So fast forward to this year. My mom and dad were going up to Solvang with their car club and I thought it would be perfect for them to pick up a couple more. After all, they were right down the street from the store. I talked to my mom and asked her to get the candles. I'm positive I said candles and well, she picked up some adorable calendars. I just happened to talk to them before they left and said something about the candles and she said, yes she got them. She then handed the phone to my dad and he mentioned how cute the calendars were and I said, wait, you mean the candles. Long story short, they went and picked up a couple candles.
And just look at how cute this store is! Jule Hus
