Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow (and a few thrifty finds)


Since we have no snow and no promise of any.... (62 degrees), I'll just have to be satisfied enjoying my snowmen collection.  I never thought about collecting them.  But I just gathered them together and I have quite a few.

This handsome guy was a gift this week from a co-worker. He's also a cookie jar.

Here's the whole gang, corralled in this thrifty tray.
 Aren't they adorable?  The tall guy on the far left was found yesterday at my favorite consignment shop. He is heavy!  For $6.00, he was calling to me.  I passed him up once, but before I got out of the store, he yelled one more time and I gave in. 

I'll introduce the back row now.

Left to right, 1st up is Daddy Snow, next is Mom Snow, and  the 'hefty' one on the right is Grandmother Snow.  She's dressed in her kerchief.  All those little guys in the front,  that's the Snow children.  Goodness, that's a lot of kids to put through college.  Hope they win the lottery!!





Can't forget these two little sweeties!


This lovely tin came home with me too.  $4.00. Isn't it just lovely?

It's a great place to put these napkins I've had for a very long time. 


I tried using these napkins with my holly dishes, but decided I liked the solid red ones.


I bought one other thing.  It's a 9 foot garland of cranberry colored wooden beads seen here on the mantel.  It looks black in the picture.


 Whoops,  almost forgot some snowmen.

And I have a snowman on the front porch, but my camera has decided to be stubborn and won't let me upload the picture.

What do you think?  Is this a collection?

  4. Nice collection! I didn't realize I had a collection of snowmen either until a year or two ago when I looked around. I had them scattered throughout the house previously but once I realized what I had I put them all together. They make for quite a nice display! I love yours in that magnificent tray. What a great metal piece, too.

  8. Lovely Frosty Snowmen! I have quite a few myself of these jovial little people. Some that are up to 3 ft tall that have little 2 ft children. I used to sell Christmas Around the World many moons ago until they folded 10 years ago. LOVELY time of the year to celebrate the Christmas season and decorate, isn't it? I'm also from GA ~ I'm in the Braselton area. Often we GA bloggers have luncheons and get together...we'll have to connect by email to see how close we are. Email me at serendipitea@bellsouth.net please. This was we can invite you to our next gathering. I love to come to Clarksville from time to time...are you that part of N. Georgia?

  10. Your collection of snow people is adorable.And I love the tray that the snow family is displayed in. :-)
    I have a few snowmen that I grouped together in the kitchen this year. It's small in comparison to your collection, but it is a start! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas celebration this year. I looked around this morning and wondered how in the world I was going to put it all away so soon- seems as if it just got finished! LOL

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
