CHRISTMAS LANTERNS


From Home Depot - battery operated Christmas lanterns - I just love them !
They come complete with plaid ribbon - greenery and berries
I picked up two of them but only because John was with me ( or I would have bought many more - so sometimes it's a good thing we hang out together )


Which got me thinking ...............I have a very large ( modern-ish ) stainless steel lantern - what if I decorated that?



Well well well we'll just add this to my latest obsessions..............
After all can you ever really have enough wreaths or stockings or..............
Christmas lanterns ?


I think not.............


Have a wonderful Monday everyone !
Hugs,
Me

ALL THE STOCKINGS WERE HUNG...................


By the chimney, with fear


That while I was hanging them
John would appear............


It's too much he would say
As he always does.........


And I'd have to remove them
Why?  just because...................


But lo and behold - ( and believe it or not )
He liked them !
He loved them !
In fact quite a lot !


And I was so happy that there was no " rift "
That I let him eat cookies I made as a gift.............


12 miniature stockings for 7.99 !
The perfect size to stick a candy cane and a gift card in !

I've NEVER had my baking done so early before - ( and this is the second weekend of baking because I totally messed up the first time ) I'm usually frantically baking right up until the night before. For some reason things are going a little too smoothly in this house - I'm terrified that something's right around the corner - just waiting to burst my bubble LOL !!!

Have a great day everyone
Hugs,
Me
