Decorating For Christmas

Good morning blogger friends!!
It's a bit chilly......naw it's just plain cold here this morning.....
I've actually heard the word "SNOW" in the forecast for Sunday night into Monday!!
Bring it on!!
We have the "Hanging of the Greens" service at church Sunday night with a time of
Fellowship afterwards.....a little snow in the air would make it so much nicer!!!.....and make me want to pull out my black boots and my red wool coat!!

Hope this finds you all doing well after Thanksgiving........
I'm sorry it takes me so long to get very many pictures posted.....seems like there's always alot going on here. :)
This is a little corner in my dining room that I have decorated with my Aunt's old ironing board.
The basket in the floor I paid about $20.00 for about a year ago.
It's in very, very good condition and is really old.
Although I don't have the one he showed me.....my husband's grandfather told me what the plunger looking things were used for......when I go to flea markets....people often ask me if I know what they are and are quite surprised when they find out that I do!!
I bought both of these this summer and as I was leaving the flea market with one in hand.....this young Amish teen boy asked me if I were going to use that or if I had used one before.
I said "No, and I hope I never have too" "I just like old laundry items"
He told me he had used one and they still did to wash their clothes.....
I just thought it funny, because HE said that HE used one to wash clothes with!
You go girls!!! How many of our fellas......as wonderful as they..... are don't even dare turn a dial
or push a button for the washer to start?!! Hee hee

I love anything old laundry related....
I am waiting for the day when we can build on the large utility area that I've been dreaming of!!
I have accumulated quite a few "laundry" finds to decorate it with.
Part of them are in the small bathroom because of a lack of a better place to display them right
now.....
Thought I'd add some of the old timey clothes pins all over the little tree.....if I could just remember where I put them!! Bought a gallon storage bag FULL this summer and paid $1.00
for the entire bag!!!
Well, I need to get to work on some shutters and a step stool.....so I better say bye for now!
Have a great day!
