Morning in the cabin room.....

Cabin Christmas at our house...

I wanted a cabin, so Glen created a "lodge room" for me. This is our first Christmas since the remodel! It was magical in there last night after the tree was up. It looked like this when we started.

Over the river and through the woods...

to grandmother's house we go. Was thinking today how MY HOUSE is now Grandmother's. Though it's nostalgic to realize the magic of the Holidays was different for us as small children, (and much less work), it's also exciting to be creating magic for the little ones. And moments of humor can make the chores easier. Our Abyssinian, Cruiser, helped make the tablecloth for Thanksgiving last year. He would run and jump on one end and slide with the cloth all the way down, taking it with him off the other end. Here he is in mid-slide and helping cut for hemming. Blessings to all!

Glen wired a Coleman lantern to replicate the original and very collectible 1953 Holiday one, in green and red, and we've sold 8 lamps and lanterns this week. He's also repaired more than a dozen. Now that it's dark so early, we're proud to help our customers "light up the night"!

Business is great!

Things have really picked up at the Cottage Consignments store! We have a new consignor who brought in some primitives, and we're looking very festive.

High Desert dreaming....

Glen and I stayed at Sunriver Resort for our anniversary last weekend. No snow, but wonderful sunshine and the beauty of the Ponderosa pines. Here's a picture we took at the High Desert Museum, one of our favorite places.

A visit from Beyond the Garden Gate! Do not miss their Holiday Open House this weekend!!!

We opened early today to meet with the BYG ladies, who brought us new signs and rustic birdhouses. These seem to fly out the door. Best of all, they brought fresh greens from their folks' place to make the store more festive!!! If you can't read the #, it's 360-687-0075, and they've created a magical shopping experience for this weekend!

It's beginning to look.....

New products in for Holiday gifts...more to come
