With Easter coming early this year, only five days after St. Patrick's Day, it poses a problem for me. Do I decorate for St. Patrick's Day? Or for Easter?
I couldn't resist things like my marshmallow peep bunny lights. So I skipped the shamrocks and went right for the Easter decorations.

I forgot to post pictures of the January window i did for Sarah's shop .
I made a yarn snowman with styrofoam balls wrapped in white yarn, knitting needle arms and button eyes.
I also used the three snowmen Aaron's great aunt made on a wee sled.
I love doing these window dressings!

This is something I learned from my grandma.
She puts twinkle lights inside of vintage blue mason jars and let them sparkle up the kitchen counter.
I was sad to take down the Christmas decorations, so this helps ease the transition a little.

Here is a picture of our mantle decorated for Christmas.
It has my collection of Christmas bendy figures, mini snow globes and mini jewery boxes (faux limoge).
We are in PA by the way and at the mercy of internet dial up. Blog posting and email will be sketchy at best.

I got a few new ornaments for our tree this year.
Little metal Joy to the World sign...
... and a matching Merry Christmas sign... from Joann Fabrics.
Here is a little crocheted turtle from the Martha Stewart Kmart Sugar Plum collection.
I
also got a set of mini kitchen utensils from Martha's Kmart collection.
There was a lot of cute stuff in her holiday collection.

Here
are two of my favorite Christmas decorations... my German Christmas
Carousels/Pyramids.
I actually got this one at
Target a few years ago on clearance.
They cast a wonderful glow
when they are lit. I am having trouble finding more candles to fit the
one on the left though.

A reader asked if I would share some
pictures of my Christmas decorations. I would love to!
These are pictures of my
vintage Santas. Aaron thinks some of them look creepy, but I love the
nostalgia they invoke.
These
little plastic Santas in sleighs with reindeer are the best.
Ho,
ho, ho!
I will have more pictures in the days to
come AND pictures of this year's handmade gifts and trimmings.

I just ordered these LED
Christmas lights for our holiday decorating. They are amazing
for so many reasons.
They use 80% less electricity than incandescent lights.
They last for about 20 years.
They don't get hot!
I am thrilled because we have been trying to be greener at our house,
and I also fret over the risk of our lights getting too hot and
catching fire.
These bulbs are suitable for outdoor use which is great because I need
them for our window boxes.

This year instead of a typical Halloween party, Aaron and I threw a sit
down dinner party. I cleared the furniture out of the living room and
set up a dinner table with candlelight.
The theme was "mad science" so the table had beakers with dry
ice putting off foggy mist, test tubes strewn about and wine bottles
with POISON labels.
Aaron and I even dressed the part. These were our badges.
I got the laboratory invitations, test tube party favors and
POISON wine bottle labels from Martha Stewart's line of crafts at
Michaels.
Here is a shot of the jelly bean filled test tubes with our guests
names on them.
It was a great evening. More pictures of the Halloween dinner
party are on My
Gallery . Matt took some great pictures too.

Today we went to Homearama .
There were only 5 houses instead of the usual 10 and they were smaller,
but I still saw some neat stuff...
I loved the floor of this walk in shower. It is made up of
lots of little pebbles.
One house was decorated in an Italian theme. I loved this
table in the kitchen set up as though someones grandma had been making
Sunday dinner.
This was the best kid's room... decorated all in a Monopoly
theme! So cool.
This was such a nice room. The jars on the shelves
all have sand in them with labels like "Nantucket", "Cape Cod" and
other beaches. A beach collection!
I took lots of pictures... you can see more
of Homearama in my Gallery .
