Some Favorite Things

I love Christmas and all the fun and bling that goes along with it.  I have long been a lover of Christmas socks!  Yes you heard that right.  I love my Christmas socks!  I wear them almost daily from Thanksgiving until New Years!  Over the years I have collected quite a few, some I buy and some are gifts.  They last a long time when you only wear them a couple of times a year!  Ho Ho Ho!!

 Here are the Santa socks
 With this pair being my favorite!
You lift the cuff to see Santa's undies...
A gift from a friend who understands my wacky sense of humor
 This pair is fairly new with Santa and Reindeer!
 Of course I have Cat Christmas socks!
 I wear these all the time!
Here are the snowmen, snowy socks
I really like this pair in purple and pink and only $1

So not only do I love Christmas socks...I love Christmas jewelry! Yes I do!
I have a couple of  bracelets
I love this silver snowman one 
I have Christmas pins!
This cute cat one was a gift and one of my favorites!
These two are from Hallmark and pretty darn old!
And my favorite jewelry of all
EARRINGS!
 Cat earrings, also a gift and I truly love these
 I bought these dangle snowman earrings on a whim but I wear them often and get lots of comments...they really are cute!  
You can't go wrong with lightbulb earrings and of course my dressy snowflakes!  

So there you have some of my Christmas Bling!

I am joining in these really fun parties!

Joy to all,

Some Thrifty Things!

I'm back home for a few days!
The repairs on the house took a little longer then expected so the closing has been pushed to next week.  Thursday we hope!  I'll be going back on Wed and staying a few days then! 
I enjoyed my Tiger time, but the poor baby had a little stomach virus and so didn't feel all that great.
When I left to return home yesterday I stopped at a few of my favorite thrift stores in Athens

Aren't these the cutest napkins!!
I fell in love with them and had to have them...
oh and they were only .39 cents for the pair!
Since getting Mr Toes I've had my eyes open for more black cat items.
I can't wait to do a tablescape with these!

I also found some cute ornaments for the 
Tiger Tree!
I've been looking for these older wooden ornaments for Tiger's Christmas tree and these were perfect at .25 each!  I'll be showing you his tree soon!

Glad to be home for a few days and get some more Christmas decorations up and photographed! 

I'm joining Diann for 

I'll be doing another post later so come back soon!

Hugs,

Tiger Time


It's Tiger Time!
I'm heading over to see my daughter, SIL and of course....Tiger!
His Daddy took him to a puppet show at the library yesterday and he woke up from his nap wanting puppets!
Old socks and mittens with googley eyes and we have puppets!
Grandma can hardly wait to play!

Can you believe that one year ago this boy looked like this...
This is going to be such a fun Christmas!

I will have spotty internet service while gone so I will miss visiting everyone and posting as I normally do.  I will try to get online every couple of days.  Not sure how long I will be gone because it all depends on this!
Yes they are buying this adorable mid-century home!  We hope closing will be Friday and they can clean, paint and start moving in! 
I will be helping by taking care of Tiger! 
I'll keep you updated!  A very exciting Christmas for us all!

Big Hugs,
Linda

A New Favorite Thrifty Christmas Thing!

Last week I stopped in a thrift store and could not resist this cute Santa!
Santa hugging a couple of polar bears just makes me smile!   
For $3 I brought him home
I think I'll put hime here on top of the desk with my JOY plate!
Looks good but what about adding
My IKEA lantern with a red candle! 
Now I love it!  
I'm sure I'll 'tweak' it as I continue decorating but for now 
I really love my new thrifty Santa!

Sharing the Joy at these parties 
Thrifty Things Friday (yes I know i'm late)
