Adding Sparkle

     Yesterday we received our first bit of snow for the season in the form of snow and sleet but no signs of it left this morning.. Just a chill and brisk winds from the effects of storm Sandy.. Inspiration to add to the very old powder jar with Christmas sparkle and a tag... It was added with a couple tucks of holiday.. Mini white Christmas lights are placed in the greenery on the pie safe for evening enjoyment...  I also have the fireplace mantle completed, almost ,and will share with you on another day. I am thinking today I would like to clean the book shelves that are located on both sides of the fireplace... They haven't been completed for a couple months due to me not wanted to attempt a ladder climb since surgery but now feel I can accomplish just fine...  I would also like to get a couple outdoor holiday wreaths and a couple garlands of evergreen on the posts as you enter unto my front porch but the temps are not desirable... Maybe next week I will be able to sneak that in..
   I have some magazines of Jeanne d Ark for Christmas past that I may search out and try to find some inspiration for use of similar objects I have around the house.. I have plenty in storage but always love to add simple new touches even if it be as small as a altered art tag...
      I so dislike placing sadness on my blog but several sleepless hours were spent last night in thoughts of the family Of Tina Goodwin of Wauseon, Ohio, who lost her life in a auto accident... My prayers were with her mother Jane , as Jane and I worked together several years at  Hallmark and Floral ,when I worked the gift and floral business. Please say a extra prayer for healing and strength for this family and all the others that have so much devastation in their lives this week... I am very saddened by all these heartbreaking events...

Love your sweet old vintage blog! I'm a little envious-Wish it would snow here in South Carolina! So sorry to hear the sad news of the loss of life of a precious lady! My prayers are for her family.
