Cigar Box Chistmas Tree Ornament Storage

I found these cigar boxes on my latest thrifting expedition and thought they would make the perfect storage containers for Christmas tree ornaments! I used cupcake papers as the separators, and put two layers of cotton batting on top to keep them in place. The effect is so winter-y and practical at the same time.

Our Nutty Chicken

We have a chicken who likes to sleep in a tree. About a week ago we received complaints that she was flying into our neighbours yard and making a mess there. So we clipped her wings, but didn't realize how bummed she'd be when she couldn't fly up into her favourite spot for a nap. So we put a ladder into the tree and now she climbs up it and is happy again. Who'd have thought.

The Best Halloween Costumes

My neighbor sewed these for her daughter and friend. They are the most fantastic outfits I've seen - and check out the matching 'planet bags' to go with the aliens!! People are so creative...

Calling my name...

I usually steer clear of the 'art' pieces in thrift shops, unless they are folksy or crafty, but somehow I was unable to pass this one up. It is an original lithograph signed and numbered by the artist (I can't read it) and has a certificate of authenticity attached.

The primitive houses remind me of India, and the boats say I'm in Florida! I'm quite loving it!
