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.

Fleamarket At Home



I didn't go to the flea market Sunday morning because it was freezing cold and very windy....
...when my alarm went off at 5 am and I heard that cold wind blowing, I pulled the covers up around my neck and went back to sleep for another 2 hours.

But this morning I ended up discovering some hidden treasure right here at home.
I started tearing things apart again....continuing toward my goal to get things organized....
I took down two old baskets and a couple of wooden pantry boxes from a high shelf to dust them off and rearrange.... and lo and behold!



I found the old sleigh bells that used to hang from the rafters in the stand on my grandparent's farm! I had put them away after Christmas a few years ago and forgot where I stashed them!
Hooray!



I dusted off the boxes and peeked inside...



One box was full of odds and ends of sewing items...













I haven't seen these little treasures in so long...
I actually don't remember when or where I got them!
...but they were new to me again this morning ...
... it was as if I had just discovered them at the flea market...
but I never left home!

I could save a lot of money this way! Shopping at home....
I'm also getting some much needed cleaning done and taking inventory.
It's all good!
