Q: How did I spend a couple of hours this morning?A: Putting together S.I.X. (6!) Christmas Trees!!
As a lover of everything Fall, this is wrong on SOOOO many levels, but there is a legitimate explanation...
My boss is opening another store "IT'S ALWAYS CHRISTMAS".
For the last month I have had a new 'job description', with my primary purpose being the repurposing of 'junk' (gotta love that!!). I've been busy repairing, glueing and sanding; 
painting (Resort Sand), and distressing 'junk' from his Antique store 
to be used as display pieces in the new store...Now that that is done, we have moved onto set-up/display... and today that involved setting up and 'fluffing' Christmas trees! I'm having fun, but this is REALLY cutting into my Fall Spirit!!
I will post more 'complete' photos as we get closer.
To 'revive' myself a bit, I hit a couple of Thrifts on my way home from work - guess what I found...
A whole basket of - what else - Christmas Ornaments!! Even in my 'Bah Humbug' mood I couldn't resist these lovely indents and pinecones at .10¢ each! (SORRY about the HORRIBLE photo!) .jpg)
Uncovering these two VERA in a Linen Abyss definitely lightened my mood and put a smile on my face!!
How can you not love a big, yellow Elephant on a vibrant red background?!

That elephant scarf is a crack up!
Hey! You won on Two Dog Pond - love your quote!
Since it's still so darn hot down here, I loved seeing your pix of Xmas trees. We're still waiting for Fall. You work in an antique store? How cool!
I wouldn't want to put the trees together, but the rest of the job sounds pretty fun!
vintage Vera makes me very happy!
Love the fun colors!

I love those vintage Christmas ornaments! And it sounds like fun getting to repurpose somebody else's "junk"!
