Are you ready to make some NOISE?

-

I AM!


 Especially since I came across this old box of vintage noise makers I found up in our attic while putting away our Christmas decorations yesterday!




I forgot all about them.



 


 
I wonder if it's too late to have a New Years Eve Party?



  Maybe next year!


At any rate, you can be sure I'll be running out my front door at midnight twirling, clanging and flapping these cuties. 


It will definitely be an improvement over pots & pans.


Whatever you do to ring in 2012 be sure and make some NOISE!!!


AND


HAVE 


A


 VERY


HAPPY


 NEW


YEAR!!!


 I'LL SEE YA'LL NEXT YEAR!




XO

I am ready to make some noise with you girl! Terri the noise makers remind me of when I was young and celebrating with family and friends when we ould have New Years parties at our family home!

I just love that you are able to use them at your own celebration.

Have a beautiful one.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year Terri

I think you definitely need to have a party, that is an omen finding those vintage beauties. "Made in the USA" that is one of my resolutions to buy and support our local economies"
My best for 2012

Holiday Inspiration

Well, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving full of togetherness, great food & good times... and when it was all over I went to put a load of laundry on and accidentally ran my new iphone 4 through the wash!      In the meantime, while I wait for it to completely dry out, I thought I'd post some Christmas decorating ideas that I've saved over the years which have inspired me in decorating our home which I've been doing since Black Friday... and oh my, what a mess I'm in at the moment!! These images are from Christmas Ideas 2003.  This gorgeous spread has provided me with the main design theme in my Christmas decor. Hopefully I'll be back in business with my iphone/camera in a few days and will be able to show you how I've translated it into our Holiday Home!

Holiday Home Tour - House #2

Both my mom and my uncle's homes were part of the Holiday Home Tour this year benefiting The Alameda Family Services League. My uncle's home is a grand old Spanish Revival that wraps the corner of Northwood Dr. (the street I grew up on) and Yale Dr. where he and my mom grew up and where my mom now lives. His address is actually Gibbons Drive which is one of the most beautiful tree lined streets in Alameda. "Alameda" actually means, tree-lined avenue!  This fountain greets you at the entry to his home. Santa had the perfect spot for a long afternoon of greeting guests.  You may remember the greeting he gave my mom when he saw her!! A lovely vignette awaits you at the door. My mom is no stranger to this house. They have lived in the same neighborhood, just a few houses apart, for over 40 years! The Living Room with windows on two sides is typical of the Spanish Revival style. My uncle is also a treasure hunter, it runs in the family! I...

Summer Living

We haven't had a summer vacation yet but all it took for me to get inspired to do a little upgrade to our summer room or as my hubby calls it, his mancave, which is actually our garage, was this little number... It had been sitting for the longest time in my favorite thrift store and as hard as I tried to ignore it, it finally got my attention when one night as I was watching a movie with my hubby I imagined it across the room replacing an existing bench. Bright and early the following morning I high tailed it over there hoping it would still be there waiting for me! I sighed a breath of relief when I spied it over in the corner.  It was originally priced at $250 but had been lowered recently to $100. I asked politely if they might meet me at $75.   They promptly agreed as they were anxious to free up space. Once I got it home it became the catalyst for further upgrades in the space. I channeled India Hicks...
