Remember, I landed in the emergency room within half an hour after the moving van arrived. They pretty much put stuff wherever. It'll all get sorted out eventually, but for now things stay as they lay. Right next to the front door is where my grandmother's treadle machine landed. I want to get the cabinet stripped and restored to its original cherry finish. Until then .....
Of course, having a pair of crutches in the foyer is a decorative must! I just know everyone will be copying this vignette! Go ahead. You have my permission!!
Sally and I ventured out to a small antique store in this little town one day. I found that Mikasa sleigh. I thought I'd put some holly in it from the yard.
The red berries aren't real visible in this picture, but I didn't want to venture out on the grass to get a closer picture. This is taken from my carport. The back yard is on the other side of that fence. There's a forest next to my property with all sorts of critters who set off the motion lights at night. The crew that's been hacking away at the overgrown bushes started cutting back the holly trees and I stopped them. "Let's do that after the new year." I don't know how many times I told them that!
I also stopped them from cutting the overgrown azaleas in the front. I figured a little color in the yard for the holidays is better than nothing. I wish I could go out back to get a snapshot of the camillias. Some are blooming and some are full of buds.
Yep, this isn't at all what I envisioned for Christmas this year, but as the over-used saying goes, it is what it is. I'm getting better and that's all that's important for right now.
I hope everyone has a glorious holiday season. Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas from my little corner of the world!

Love the vignette! LOL I have something very similar in my entry - my grandmother's treadle with a walker next to it. LOL
Merry Christmas, my dear friend! ILY ((Hugs))
Your year end has certainly been different than what you envisioned. I wish you much wonderful sewing time in the New Year and a well organized house fixed just the way you want it.
It'll all come together eventually. Just take your time, heal and enjoy that you are in your new home. Merry Christmas.
You can take your time to settle into your new home, and will be happy that you did. No worries. Heal and enjoy the season. Merry Christmas!
Hopefully I won't have a need to copy your vignette! Just think, this year you won't have to leave things and go back "home"! Have a wonderful Christmas.
I hope you heal as quickly as possible and can really start organizing and enjoying your new home. And, you know, sewing!
Love the vignette! Hugs! We'll talk soon.
Oh gosh, Vicky, nothing since 12/20. Been thinking about you, hoping you're improving and able to do some little stuff here & there. At least you have family close (right) and maybe were able to enjoy Christmas with them. Take care and heal!!
