Check out this rug we just made!

We had a customer online that asked if we could duplicate this rug design in an 8X10 using black, red, and hot pink. Ok, not crazy about the color combo, but hey, it's a cool design! Of course we told her, "Sure, we could do it!" This is not printed, it is all inlaid. It was done with frieze carpet. I think it came out awesome, if I do say so myself!




Have a great weekend! We will be making more rugs..trying to catch up on all the orders!

Our Singing Snowman Greets Guests

Please meet my large singing snowman! I love him. He is motion activated so as soon as someone comes to the door...ups man, mailman, fedex...or an occasional guest...Mr. Snowman starts singing a Christmas song. So cute! My daugther hated it when she was a teenager and would come home after a date. She said it always startled her boyfriend when he would walk her to the door. LOL!



Our home last year with the icicle lights and moving lighted reindeer. This year we just don't have the time to put up the lights :(

More Christmas at my Home

I was able to do some more Christmas decorating yesterday. I have more ideas, but probably won't get around to doing them this year. Anyway, I jazzed up the garland on the mantle and the swag on the copper mirror with real christmas tree clippings. I went to Lowe's and saw all these great christmas tree branches/clippings and asked if they were for sale or if they were free and he said the magic word...FREE! So I grabbed about 3 big branches and brought them home to add to my decorations. If you use a fake tree...this is a great way to still get that great scent in your home of fresh Christmas tree smell!

I really don't like this gold bow, so next year will do something else and add some feathers to the wreath.


My kitchen is still being worked on, but had to add a touch of Christmas in there anyway.

My adorable snowman cookie jar! Wanna cookie, made some spritz cookies last night.
My pier one vase...I love this vase!! Added some christmas there too. This is my kitchen window. I think next year I will make a sign that says, "Let it Snow" or "Merry Christmas" and take down the Farmer's Market sign for the holiday.






A simple, classic tablescape. Would like to add some gold glittery snowflakes on the table and I want to find some white snowman dimensional face mugs to add on top of the plates (maybe even with the faux snow (Sno Wonder) like I showed you all in a previous post.





I reworked this floral arangement...it was looking pretty sad, but thanks to some ornaments & feathers...it's pretty again! Oh and added real christmas tree clippings to the swag for a fuller look!


I got these gold pinecone candle holders at the Salvation Army a couple years ago for $3!









Love my wood carved old world santa...bought it a few yrs ago from a master carver off of ebay. It was my $125 splurge..but I love it! Wish the tree next to it was carved!









Hope you enjoyed the Christmas tour of my home! I'll get some of my daughter's rooms soon.
