"Hey, is that Santa on the roof?"
Our friend Caroline loves Christmas. She is a dedicated collector of vintage Christmas goodies. On a recent visit to her home, these collections were on display. I enjoyed all of them, but I really covet her pinecone pixie people!
The charm swap we attended this week with a dozen friends was our idea of the perfect holiday shindig - friends whom make us laugh, tasty food, and Christmas themed charms and tokens. Here are some of the lovelies.
This is my heap of swapping loot. Looks like Santa came early!
This morning, Lisa and I are headed to a Christmas charm swap with a dozen friends. I’m packed and ready to start thawing out my car. My potluck contribution is a pineapple cake that will taste better than it looks (I hope!). A customer friend made it for us recently. I couldn’t wait to try it because it only has three easy ingredients and you get to put Cool Whip on top of it. 
Hostess gift – check!
Charms – check!
Bracelet to wear made with last year’s charms – check!
More pictures of all the charm fun coming soon.
Lisa and I had such a good time on Sunday doing the Sand Point Antique Market. Thanks to all of our customer friends – new and old, for stopping by our booth and buying our stuff! I am going to be able to fit my car in our garage for the first time in YEARS as a result of lots of inventory going to Sand Point, and less coming back. I’ll post a picture of both of cars INSIDE our garage early next week. (We are in the middle of new tile floors going in two bathrooms, so the tile guy’s equipment and supplies need a safe place to be this week. And if you are looking for a great person for tile work, I’d be happy to recommend Florian.)
So now Lisa and I get to focus on our personal Christmas preparations and celebrations for the next several weeks. Baby Claire will be here in 11 days!
We realize it's such an extra busy time of the year with so many fun things to fit into every weekend, but we hope you’ll be able to join us at the Sand Point Antique Market this Sunday, December 6, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. We’re bringing all our Christmas 'good stuff', as well as a sleigh-full (well a ¾ ton truck and two cars’ full) of items perfect for gift giving, decorating and entertaining. Lots of newly repurposed and vintage treasures will be waiting for you!
