Snow for Christmas
A little fabric stiffener turns ordinary doilies into snowflakes.
Thanks to all that have had encouraging words for me over the past two weeks.
Today I helped a little old lady get her newly bought watch running.
She brought it back to guest services complaining that it didn't work.
But she had failed to take the little plastic thing off the knob that keeps the battery from running down.
I slipped it off and set it and she thought I was a miracle worker.
That was a nice experience.
To make someone happy with something so simple.
I think I'm actually going to get to put up my tree this week.
Two short days at Pier One and I THINK I have Friday off.
I'm looking forward to getting all my stuff out.
Turns out quit a bit of my favorites from last week's Mod Mix was holiday stuff.
Let's take a look.
Aimee of It's Overflowing made these snow globes which are exact copies of some that Anthropologie is selling.
Gina at A Sense of Design changed up her chandelier with a little fluffy turquoise yarn.
An Anglo in Quebec sewed up this luscious santa skirt for this counter that hides
her washer and dryer. I love this little corner. Subway tile...check. Silver Coffee Server....check....
Stainless counter....check and velvet skirt for the holidays....quadruple check!
Can you believe Andrea of Opulent Cottage found this potting bench on the side of the road?
She painted it and did a perfect holiday display of tartan thermoses.
Of course I couldn't resist all this aqua and silver created by Shannon at Fox Hollow Cottage.
Such a pretty palette for Christmas.
Sarah of Upscale Downhome created this festive vignette in her home.
That is temporary fabric wallpaper on the wall. She can easily take it down after the holidays.
Mixed with a red chair and some other holiday accessories, it's the perfect holiday corner.
Leeann of Vintage Sassy showed off her Mid Century Modern Thanksgiving table.
A little Christmas is sneaking in there a little early.
I know that was a lot of features but they were all great.
I could have done several more.
Link up what you are doing this week below.
Anything old redone to be new. Old mixed with new.
Anything new redone to look old.
Mix it up.
If you enjoy this party...I'd hope that you'd become a follower.
Please give me a link back in your post and be sure to link up to the exact
post address not your whole blog.
Please no food links or baby stuff or clothes. This needs to be decor and furniture related.
I'm going to start deleting links off subject.
Thanks!

I know retail is very hard, but sounds like you're adjusting. As tough as it is you are getting some rewards and the ones you are assisting are so appreciative.
I know you are kind and gracious and that lady was happy to have her watch fixed. Thanks for hosting. ♥O
