More From Evi's Holiday Home


Here we are in Evi's pretty dining room.


Each place setting had a glittered letter
 so we ladies knew just where to sit.
And each chair had a pair of antique stockings
 tied with ribbons and greens to its back.


With twig place mats and green leafy salad bowls...
...it made for a beautifully natural and rustic setting.







Another Santa created by Evi.


Even her beautiful kitchen was decorated with greens
 a midst the vintage kitchen collectibles.




...above her stove


...above the spiral staircase which leads down to her studio
 and the family room.


...and even in the bathroom...
...there are beautiful touches of glitter and Christmas
 along with Evi's signature look...
 which combines European elegance with a touch of whimsy.





Downstairs in the family room...Evi showcases her antique toys
 and collection of vintage children's clothes.


The downstairs bathroom includes charming Christmas vignettes too! I love this collection of bottle brush trees.



The home of  doll maker Evi is especially charming
 at Christmas time!







I hope you are enjoying this tour of Evi's holiday home.

There is more to come, however...
I am currently posting from a location with very limited and extremely slow internet access. 
It is hard to tell if these photos are really this grainy
 or if the appearance here is due to my poor connection!

I will try to bring you the rest over the next few days.
Thank you so much for your comments...
...I knew you would enjoy seeing Evi's home dressed
 for the holidays  again!

Christmas Celebrations Continue...


We have been blessed to be surrounded by
 so many of our family members this Christmas!
Sister Mary Beth and Bobby George have had a houseful
 and it has been one continuous party for days...
...filled with fun and lots and lots of delicious food! 






Hope that your holiday celebrations
 continue to bring you closer to those you love.

Wishing you joy...
:)

Jingle Bells...In The Frosty Air

 

Jingle bells....



Sleigh bells ring...










These old sleigh bells came from my grandparents farm. 
They hung from the ceiling out in the stand
 where they sold their fruits and vegetables.
As a child, I was lifted up so I could reach out and jingle the bells.
Happy memories.



My vintage Christmas spider...


Merry Christmas friends!

Our family is gathering and we will all be together soon.

Hope your celebrations will be filled with love.

Sunshine and Cold

The sun is shining this morning
 although it is cold here in New York!
I am looking forward to this Christmas weekend
 and spending time with our family and good friends.



We will be seeing our special little girls on Christmas Eve.
They are so excited as they wait to see what Santa will bring.


 Thanks to all for your kind and encouraging words.
I am filled with gratitude for my many blessings and
 appreciate the reminder to be present in the moment
 and plan on making many new happy memories!

Starting with making some Christmas cookies...
I'm off to the grocery store for more sprinkles!


"May your holidays be filled with reasons to be thankful.
Having loved and having been loved
is perhaps the most wondrous reason of all."

These words are from a newsletter put out by Hospice of the Valley
 and were sent to me by Cathie...a  thoughtful and kind follower of 52 FLEA.


Love to you all!
:)
