I never go out to the Black Friday sales. This is the day I wait for all year. It's finally time to do some Christmas decorating! Mother Nature has been at work already. I just raked the leaves two days ago!
I'm so excited! I bought all of these Shiny Brites over the summer. Less than $5.oo for all of them at an estate sale.
These were a little more but... Oh be still my heart!
One more picture. Look how Lucy has grown. Those ears just crack me up!. We're all getting along quite well now. You should see them "help" me rake the leaves!
That is what is happening around here, too. Have fun!
Be sure to link to Pink Saturday.♥

Have fun decorating! The dogs are adorable. I can't bring myself to decorate yet. Have to wait at least 2 more weeks.

Well look who's back?? HI BETTY...
Look at sweet Louis and Lucy. LOVE his ears.
LOVE your "brites". So vintage.
I'd rather be racking than snow shovelling ...
LOVE U
LOVE me

Aren't leaves amazing ...they quickly fall as soon as we rake them up! Our yard was clear and the next day couldn't tell we had done anything. My Christmas trees are going up tomorrow and the decorating will begin here too. I love your cute puppies and those vintage decorations look so fun! I don't go to black Friday sales either...too tired from Thanksgiving!

So glad to see you, Betty. I'm looking forward to seeing your vintage christmas collection decorations. Your dogs are so cute. Happy Pink Saturday!!!

I have so many leaves, they are piled up. It is useless to rack until they all fall. I think it is nice you using the old style ornaments.

I don't go out to Black Friday Sales, either. But my hubby really doesn't like to decorate outside--latters and such, so we decorate inside!
P.S. I found you thru Pink Saturday!

Hi Betty, I have missed you too. It is so funny, we both have almost the same title for our blog today.
I LOVE the pretty Christmas balls and your pups are adorable. Your Shiny Brites are a steal. Good for you.
We just arrived home to our dtrs home from the Gator football game in Gainesville, FL. We lost. sigh! Our dtr lives in Orlando. Thus, the late hour.
I hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Hugs, Jeanne

Ummmm.....I think those are the Shiny Brights my mom gave away about 25 years ago. I'd like them back now. LOL
Great finds. How did the wind treat you?
We have to get together over Christmas break. I'm off for three weeks......maybe coffee again? Crafting?
