Chair

 Such pretty clouds that day! So I took to the outside to make pictures of my newest thrift store find!

I just fell in love with her!

Is she RED?.......is she ORANGE? I can't decide, LOL

Callie has to get in all the pictures! LOL

She's in pretty great shape! And I love the colors

I also got this pedestal and I think it's real pretty. It's about 12 inches tall. It just needed a little cleaning. I will maybe sit a candle on it or something. Ideas?

I'm just so thrilled we happened to go thrift shopping that day or our pretty chair wouldn't have got to come home with us, LOL

On a different thrift store day I got these cute chicken salt and pepper shakers:

and these pretty ceramic chickens.........I just love them!

they just FLEW right into our cart, LOL

Our baby Camellia bush has about 10 buds! Hope they bloom soon

We've started watching Christmas movies. This one was good.

And last night, we watched this one:

set in the 1940s era

(above) two of my favorite Christmas season books

I love the pretty pictures inside this one!

I haven't read this one yet, looking forward to it

I try to read this little book every year during the Christmas season

Hope your Christmas season is going great so far and so glad you stopped in to see me!

Country walk and Thanksgiving

It's a beautiful day for a country walk, hope you'll join us!

the clouds are so pretty

TINY white fairy flowers beneath my boots

 and a slight nip in the Fall air (which will very soon be Winter!).....got my shawls out. I have a big collection of shawls, been collecting them for YEARS NOW. LOL

our butterfly bush is still blooming:

No geraniums right now, but they have buds as does my rosebush. And our white lilies are in full bloom again, they seem to have a  mind of their own, LOL. Last year they even bloomed in December.

We don't really get "Fall" here as traditional Fall, the trees don't "turn" and have all the bright foliage.

Just bits of colors scattered here and there

Not too many leaves that fall here, the good part is we don't have TO RAKE, lol

.....and a big bin of "punkins", fun to see this time of year!
They are quickly being replaced by Christmas merchandise, and there are fresh Christmas trees being sold. 
Our Thanksgiving was nice, and I've enjoyed reading about everybody else's.

Tracie and Amybelle got to go outside to play!

this beautiful old platter belonged to Mr. Front Porch's Grandma

this hangs in our kitchen

I sure enjoyed a long walk and picking my own cotton! After it's harvested, I'm free to take some left-overs. 

The farmers had the bales all ready to go in November

Our church Thanksgiving banquet prior to Thanksgiving was delicious and so fun!

Pretty much a whole table for deviled eggs and salads

Lots of delicious smoked turkey, dressing, rolls, casseroles, beans, "taters", gravy,  so much good stuff!

Thanksgiving day at home was more of the same:

And we ate left-overs for quite a few days

I love these fun butter sculptures!

The full moon has been so pretty this past week:

Fall and Thanksgiving are now past, and the Christmas season has arrived. The fluffy camellias are blooming!

And I know each year when I see these berries, Christmas is close:

the stores have put the egg nog out! Egg nog is one of those things you either love it hate it, I guess. Kind of like spinach, anchovies, mushrooms, brussels sprouts.....LOL

I love egg nog!

Christmas coffee creamer, I haven't tried it

Hope you are enjoying the Christmas season so far. Our shopping is complete and I am working on Christmas cards this week, as well as putting up our Christmas tree.

How is yours coming along?
