Snow Buddies - More Fun with Vintage Items

Well winter has officially hit my house.  It was 7 degrees this a.m.!  Ugh - it's supposed to get below zero tonight!  Well, it may be cold outside, but this little guy I've been working on warms my heart!  This little Snow Buddy is a hand sculpted & painted snowman who is sporting a vintage kitchen measuring cup for a hat:

 He's quite the dapper fellow!  He is sitting on a vintage tin cup.

 His hat has a snowman and cardinal bird painted on it:

 You can still see the measurement markings on the hat:

 His cup is sporting a sweet tag:  "Winter Wonderland"

Jingle Bells - It's Snowing!!!

It is officially snowing....and sticking.... at my house.  The kids are celebrating.....I'm warming up to it!  However, it does have me singing some winter songs:

Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Winter Kisses - Vintage Roll Top Desk Drawer Light

Whether I want to admit it or not, winter is sending its kisses (snow) my way shortly....it has already been trying!  Doesn't "winter kisses" sound more enticing than snow?  LOL!   By the end of winter, my family is definitely ready for it to be over, but there is always a certain excitement in the air when winter sends its first kisses to our home!  Since we homeschool, I have the luxury to stop what we are doing and let the kids go enjoy those winter kisses.  So, we are patiently waiting  (some of us impatiently) for the first winter kisses:

 This "Winter Kisses" is made from a vintage roll top desk drawer!
