Sharing Shadymont, My Mountain Cottage

This week, we have experienced some Winter weather.  Snow started falling on Monday night and continued through Wednesday morning.  Then Wednesday afternoon, we started having sleet and freezing rain.  It's been a long time since we've had this much Winter precipitation. The snow that fell on Monday night and Tuesday was wonderful! So PaPaw and Mimi went up to play with Rheagan (7).  To make the snowman,  all we did was just make a small ball, and roll it across the snow.  It was like pulling up carpet!  It just rolled up in long sheets.  What fun!! Rheagan gave the snowman a hairdo. Rheagan, Snowman, Nova The Staffy, Nova had on her sweater too! At this point the roads were still clear, so we took a short ride in the 4-WD pickup. A tree in the neighbor's yard The trees and hilltops were so pretty! View out our back door. Today it warmed up enough to melt most of the snow and ice!  Thankful we ...

I found the runner on the pie safe at a consignment shop.  I think I gave around four dollars for it.  Now y'all know I change everything multiple times, so the top of the pie safe stayed this way for a day or so before it got Christmas decor added to the runner.  (below) I dug out a silver tray, added some mica show, a little bird house, snowman, Santa, and 2 red pine cones.  Then I pulled out the Merry Christmas blocks and added them to the vignette.  I love th e tall pencil Santas. I have a sofa table that I use as a side board in the breakfast nook.  I pulled some items together for its top. This runner is from Dollar General. The dishes on the rack are very very old, and full of crazing.  The ceramic snowman is a cookie jar, a gift from a former co-worker. The chenille snowman was handmade and given to me by my hair dresser.  I just love the chenille snowman!! Here's a vignette from the kit...
