Is it legal to just be finishing up decorating at 2pm on December 25th?
Well, it's done, anyways. Inclusive of a BOXFUL of 'new' Vintage ornies found in the 'haul' I recently mentioned and TWO (2) GINORMOUS.BEAUTIFUL ornies gifted to me by 'L' (one shown in this picture - with the pine trees!)
Of course, all of this decorating was made possible with the help of TV Christmas specials - including the classic 1988 PeeWee's Playhouse Christmas. Yeh, so, I'm an 80's girl. I can't help it!!
The NE has had a little Holiday Gift from Mother Nature this year - in the form of a 'free trip to warmer climates'!! Christmas Eve in Central NY state was about 70degrees!!!!
So, what's a person to do?
MAJOR Seaglass Trip!!!!!!!!!
Seaglassing in December -
Without a coat-
or gloves-
in New York State!
Merry Christmas to ME!!
but wait...
it gets better!
J found a BLUE MARBLE (the.Holy.Grail. of seaglassing), then shortly later I found MY FIRST EVER MARBLE! and it is GREEN - for CHRISTMAS EVE (of course!). Then we found another old round worn blue piece of glass.... YIPPEE! YIPPEE!
~ AND ~
on the ride home...
a Beautiful Moon Rise!
I have also been enjoying the Holiday season in the Studio - 'Playing with the Angels'!
(not to worry - bottom left was an attempt at a Holly Leaf with Berries - I didn't mutilate a poor angel THAT badly!!)
I AM going to give you 'snippets' of the contents of 'The Haul' gradually, so as not to completely overwhelm / bore you!! And, 'Yes', I HAVE gone through ALL of the boxes already!! I think this is my favorite find - or at least for now it is ;-)...
Three (3), 13" Ceramic / Porcelain / China figures that I found in the bottom of one of the boxes. Not sure of exact age - if anyone has any info I'd love it!! I have found that they are:
SANXING (deities)
"are the personified ideas of Prosperity (Fu), Status (Lu), and Longevity (Shou) in the Chinese traditional religion."
PROSPERITY.
STATUS.
LONGEVITY.
Three 'Deities' I don't mind having in our home as we head into another year!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
