Santa brought me a new camera for Christmas, so here are a few pictures...I still have a whole lot of manual-reading to do, but I'm having great fun just experimenting. I also got a couple of really beautiful books that I'll show you soon.
I'm still feeling more than a little under the weather, so posts for the next few days will be a little shorter than normal. I hope everyone is getting back into the swing of things after the craziness of the holidays. Today was my daughter's first day back at school, and no one was murdered in our house this morning, which I count as a great start to the new year. :)
Have a happy day!

Mary, wishing you and your family a Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteHope you are soon feeling better.
Isn't it fun to experiment with the new camera. I hate having to read manuals.

Looks like you're doing a good job with your new camera. Hope you get back to 100% very soon.

Separated at birth??
ReplyDeleteBesides the same name and husband occupation, we own the same "Revolutionary War" plates.
Uncanny but true.

Hi Mary!
ReplyDeleteMy son was suppose to start back to day also, but he had a tooth pulled instead. He was excited to be able to stay home one more day. :) I love your open plate display. (All a display like that our in home would show off are the cracks and chips!)
I hope you feel better soon, it is amazing how colds can hold on! Rest and relax.. perhaps a pic of your longjohn's and socks up on a
footstool... my daughter hit the 'post' button..

Mary! Thank you for posting on Decor Journal. I'm so happy you found my blog. And now I have found yours. Decor blogging opened a whole new window for me. It introduced me to the nicest group of people on the internet. Whether housewife or professional designer, all I've met have had time for questions and comments. I am adding your blog to my favorites. I am sorry you are sick! I was on Christmas Eve and only sheer meanness allowed me to be ok on Christmas. You must be sweet and not mean like me! I am just reading your blog, but I can see we have some things in common. Love the silver and the transferware, needlepoint pillows.
ReplyDeleteCome back and see me, and I will do likewise!
