American Horror Story

Best Show on TV

Are you still watching American Horror Story?

Last night's episode was even better than usual.

Ben found out the identity of Rubber Suit Guy

Flies in the fruit bowl led to a grizzly discovery.

First love...last love?

Only two more episodes after this one.

If you aren't watching you can go to 

FXNetworks.com

and catch up on the episodes.

This show is the highlight of my week.

I don't know what I'll do when its over.

That Tate is so hot...even if he is dead and highly disturbed.

He's sweet so I can over look his faults.

Mod Mix Monday 27

Snow for Christmas

source

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!

Open House Sunday 29

A Charmer in Nichols Hills, Oklahoma City

(built 1945)

I love all the ivy and the landscaping plus the blue shutter and door on the brown background of the house.

Colors flow to the inside too. How about that stair runner? Very pretty.

White slip covers mixed with white trim and white furniture and wood finishes. 

The blue continues into the dining room. 

and the kitchen

I'm not a fan of the green and white stripes but it is a cheery room for a baby.

Now, this is more like it. Of course I love the pink and turquoise in here.

More blue in the master.

Nice big closet

Deck off the back.

and a nice green lawn

Could you want any more?

(See listing here)

Sorry, my posting has been light this week. I'm trying to manage my new jobs.

Both jobs have fluctuating schedules so from week to week I do not know where I will be on which day.

I met one of my readers yesterday while I was at Target.

Hi Belinda!

That was fun. 

I'm moving to the Service Desk this week.

Oh...yeah...a promotion already.

They say it's because I am more mature.

And said they didn't mean it in an old way.

I have my doubts.

I would say this is a great compliment except the other woman who just 

got moved there didn't seem like she was capable of conversing with another human being.

Maybe she was just nervous or it was an off day for her.

I hope there are lots of returns tomorrow to keep me busy.

I worked till close Friday night.

1:30 am

I cried all the way home.

It was me and a bunch of teenagers cleaning up the store. 

Promise me I will laugh about this one day.
