The above stocking was the very first stocking I ever had. Mom had one made for each of us. We used them for years when we lived at 697 Indiana. Then we moved over to the new house at 1146 Beswick Way and they were beginning to look a bit worn. Mom mentioned this and Dad said yeah to the end of stockings. Alas, that was not to be as Mom had new ones made for each of us that we use to this day. In fact, Damon mentioned how he wants to exchange stockings. This should be fun!
The bookcase has gotten quite festive for the holiday. We took several hours yesterday unpacking, positioning various items and I shared the many stories of where things came from. The chair is loaded with stuffed animals that will be going under the tree. Yes, for the first time in 4 years I am going to have a tree again. It is going up later today.
Damon moved furniture around and then we did the table up in silver, white and purple. It looks lovely. The tree is going to go to the left of the chair in this picture. Right in front of the big window.
This is the credenza in the dining area. It is groaning with the snow globe collection. It really turned out nice. Damon was a huge help in decorating and has a good eye. If the weather holds, Janet will be coming north next weekend and it would be a delight to see her.
