A Vintage Christmas in July!

Do you like Christmas in July events?  I must admit that I love early Christmas blog posts and craft link ups!   It gives me the opportunity to do a little pre-Christmas organization and planning.   How about a vintage Christmas card mosaic to get you in the mood for Christmas in July?

    We are having a heatwave here so it was lovely seeing your snowy Christmas mosaic - it's lovely and gorgeously vintage! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and thank you for following it. Hope you have a great week.

      Hi Balisha,
      Thank you for visiting me! My goal is to have everything done by the first of November. I can't stand to run around trying to find gifts when I would rather be enjoying the wonderful Christmas season. Of course, that does not always happen, but it is my goal! The only drawback is that I am so good at hiding my gifts, that I have been known to misplace them!
      Have a wonderful week and blessings from Still Woods Farmhouse

    The Christmas collage is so pretty and I love the old Victorian cards. I am also thinking about Christmas because it is my favorite Holiday.
    Have a Happy Week.

      Hi Mary! I love Christmas as well, but I think my favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. The anticipation of Christmas is still to come! I am all about vintage cards. They have such a beautiful, artistic quality to them. Thank you for visiting Still Woods Farmhouse and come back soon!

      Hi Kris! On the Mississippi Gulf Coast, we are experiencing the three H's...HOT, HUMID, and HORRIBLE! I must admit that today was not too bad. I am so thankful for that as our preacher's father-in-law fell in his yard and was there for an hour before he was discovered. On a really hot day, it could have been tragic. When we are having 80 degree weather in December, I will be sure to visit Junk Chic Cottage to get a vision of what weather should be like in December:) Thank you for visiting my blog this evening. Come back soon! We can enjoy a glass of cold, iced tea on the front porch!

    This made me smile. We are in a heat wave at the moment in England, so to think of Christmas and cards and cold weather was actually refreshing.
    Thank you for the follow. Have a great week. :)

      Good Morning Donna!
      Wow, you make your own cards? You are going to have to share them with us. That must take alot of time and love. Our Christmas card is always a picture of the family. We have family living all over and it has always been nice for them to see the boys as they grow. Taking the picture is another story! You would think I asked them to plow 10 acres with a mule! I think they would rather clean the bathrooms instead of take the annual Christmas picture! Thank you for visiting and please come back often!

      Hi Laura! Thanks for dropping by today! I love vintage cards and vintage magazine ads. They have so much visual interest. I am afraid that I begin thinking about events months ahead of time! I search for bargains whenever I can, so actually get some of my Christmas shopping done in the summer. I work for a school district and have the month of July off, so I spend lots of time organizing...the garage, closets, etc. It gives me the chance to also go through Christmas decorations to see what I can give away, use for this year, or reinvent! Love your closing! Happy Holidays to you too!

    If you would ask what month or what day to celebrate Christmas, I always love to make every day of my life Christmas. I don’t what is there in this event that I feel very excited when the season comes nearer. Although it is still months to wait, I’m starting to make some decorations as early as September.

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all  loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware.  I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl.  My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate.  I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida.  I came to love her one plate.  My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table!  When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs.  I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces, I found out that Memory Lane is consi

Quarantine Reno: The Butler's Pantry/Laundry Room

Good morning everyone! I wanted to share with you a major renovation which Mr. Still Woods and I accomplished during the quarantine. I have been feeling a huge push to simplify not only my life, but our home as well.  I started with reorganizing room by room and donating items we no longer use. After that was accomplished, I began thinking. My husband says that my thinking is always dangerous and usually means a lot of work for him! So let me tell you how this all started.  I have a large pantry in the kitchen with pull out drawers and deep shelves. While it holds tons of pantry items, I was always complaining because items tend to meander to the back of the shelves. When you need a flashlight to see what's in your pantry, you know its too large.  So I decided that I wanted to relocate our pantry into a free standing, shallow unit.  We sat down and drew up a plan we were both happy with.  As with most plans, our plan got altered along the way.  What was to have been a complete new

Keeping Christmas in My Heart

Unlike Ebenezer Scrooge, I love everything about Christmas! The baking, the sappy-sweet Christmas movies, the twinkling lights, the glittering tree, packages wrapped with love and care, our Christmas Village, red bows, and especially the nativity. It's all so beautiful! I find it a special treasure to sit with a warm cup of coffee, in the early morning hours before the house has awakened, and just soak it all in as I sip my coffee. It also gives me time to do some mental planning...what do I plan to do different next year... what were my favorite moments of this season... what do I want to purchase during the online after Christmas sales... what new recipe do I want to try next year? But I mostly sit and daydream while enjoying the wonder in all that is Christmas. We typically leave most of our Christmas up until Three Kings Day. We are blessed to have our boys home until after New Years and the temptation is strong to use their muscles to help us haul all our Christmas boxes to th
