I just LOVE the sheet music Ornament from 

Carla Gizzi , she also gave me a beautiful grey wool knitted scarf, which I can't seem to take off!!! Thank you Carla!!

I received a surprise package in the mail from Miss Clause herself.. Grace, from Pink in the City beautifully wrapped in vintage paper. Inside were these gorgeous silver ornaments which I absolutely love and the vintage paper wreath with mercury beads, and the glass ball jewel decorated shown below.. Also included was a beautiful stocking which I am also in love with!! Thank you Grace!!! 

Next year I am going to hang this silver plate tray on the wall and add a bow! I can't wait!!! 

I love my antique mercury glass ornaments!!! 

This little bisque Japan doll came from my friend Jan!! She knows me well!! Thank you Jan!! 

 I am so excited to add these little dollies to my collection of bisque dolls!! 

In the basket they will go!!

I am loving this antique Sunday School book!! When I opened it up to look inside, look at what song page I opened it to!!! How weird is that!!!! 

Technically, these were early Christmas gift from my husband!!  I just love him!!

Appetizers then Dessert!!

While shopping at my favorite place, Sickles Market,  the other day, 

I made my way over to the Greenhouse section, and boy did I get a wonderful surprise!!

SICKLES MARKET

 Being a customer of Sickles for over 20 years, I was certainly familiar with their Christmas Dept. and Displays. I  have been buying antique ornaments for the past several years, and have not really looked at any of the newer ornaments. I hadn't realized all the wonderful new varieties now available until I walked through those doors!! OMG!! 

A girl could go crazy broke!!

I felt like I was at a cocktail party!!
I started off with some Wine, Cheese and Bread!!

  OR MAYBE A SCOTCH on the ROCKS!!

After the Appetizers, I strolled on over to the 

DESSERT SECTION!!

HMMMM!!! 

CHAMPAGNE and TRUFFLES ANYONE!!

ESPRESSO and TIRAMISU...

SOME DECADENT CHOCOLATE CAKE

 BLUEBERRY PIE!!

Aren't they so cool! I couldn't believe it!! They look soooo real!! 

Now if that wasn't enough, I looked over and I couldn't believe it!!
Sickles is now carrying Wendy Addison Ornaments!! 

I usually have to go to Tinsel Trading in NY for these!!

This was certainly my lucky day!!! 

IF YOU LOOKING FOR A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS TYPE OF CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT THIS YEAR, YOU SHOULD STOP IN AND TAKE A LOOK AT THEIR SELECTION. THEY HAVE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU COULD THINK OF... I JUST COULD NOT STOP LOOKING AT ALL THE WONDERFUL TREE'S THEY HAD SET UP... 

EACH WITH A DIFFERENT THEME!!

  CHECK THIS WHITE TREE OUT!! 

HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE A 

HAPPY FACE AFTER THAT!! 

Well, how about a tree with Asian inspired ornaments!!!

 There were so many others.. an UPSIDE DOWN TREE, A SEASIDE THEMED TREE, A HUGE assortment of PETS, and just about anything else you can think of..

I absolutely love Sickles Market!! As I mentioned, I have been shopping there for over 20 years, 

it is such a wonderful experience every time I go!! 

They always have such a festive display of decorative 

items for the home.

I do not know of anywhere else that has such a 

 unique selection of scents for the home!!

Their floral dept. has the freshest and most beautiful selection of  flowers. They also do some pretty spectacular centerpieces. 

Thank you Sickles for providing me a wonderful shopping experience for the past 20 years!
