Time For Vintage Laces And Timeworn Objects

Packing away lovely glass ornaments that adorned the tree cause mixed sentiments today. The tree is in the storage room and there seems to be a void spot where it stood... Last evening, New Years Eve, we managed to stay awake and watch midnight come in on the TV in New York City... Our friends and Tom and I enjoyed T-Bone steaks and all the trimmings with dutch apple pie for dessert as our lovely meal... We watched the Ohio State Men's Basketball game on TV and then played a board game and played cards until the midnight hour... Myself , I didn't actually settle down until 2:00 A.M. when I finally went to bed... Very heavy rain storms set in between 12:30 A.M. and 2:00A.M. , being very unseasonable for our area this time of year...
As I continue to place Christmas decorations in storage my thoughts are drifting to ways to make my life more enjoyable.. Doing more things I enjoy and staying on a shoe string budget. I do plan on creating more altered art projects... Blogging allows me to see many lovely objects and to attend many open house and events... and get inspiration for creating and decorating without getting in my car and having to travel.... of which I am sure I will be reducing further with the soaring gas prices over 3.00... This is very stressful to those on a limited budget and raising families.... Of course with the packing and the addition of many objects over the holiday season ... seems to come the desire to make things more simple. A warmer shade of winter belongings as we inch our way toward spring, and re-birth. Thoughts of lovely Valentine treasures such as lace, buttons, old papers, are all entering my thoughts for a change of decorating staying within very warm tones. Relaxing spaces where deep breathes can be taken and enjoyed.. Soft music fills the background as we create our places for different loved objects... Time for vintage laces and timeworn objects.
