It's A Vintage New Year!

Happy New Years Eve Everyone!
First, let me apologize for my epic fail at the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies!
Did I have 12 cookie recipes? Yes!
Did I take photos of 12 variety of cookies?  Yes!
Did I post 12 different cookie recipes? No!
Do  feel like a cotton-headed ninny-muggins? YES!!
Oh well...I will try to do better next year!
I'll put my epic fail behind me and share some beautiful vintage New Years cards with you! She's a cute, plump snow girl!
I love the holly I found in most of the vintage cards.  So delightful!
Hearty good wishes going out to all of you!
Papa Albert signed this card.  I don't know who he is, but I wonder why he didn't sign the inside?
Another pretty girl who is about to throw a snowball wishing you a Happy New Year!
This one is a little blurry.
Guess these gentleman couldn't get a date!
No matter the language, everyone loves to dance in the New Year!.
This is a perfect example of why I love vintage cards...the art work is vivid and colorful.
This is where we may be tonight...in front of the fire instead of at my sister's for our family party.  We have 100% rain predicted with thunderstorms.
Ugh...okay?
This look like a joyful group!
So from my house to yours, I wish you a Happy Vintage New Year!
Blessings from Lynda at Still Woods Farmhouse

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

Fun Fall Door Decor

I am ready for the heat of summer to be over and the cool breezes of fall to head our way.  My sister called me the other day and said she wanted to pull out her autumn decorations and to that I say "Amen, Sista"! We both can't wait to say, "Happy Fall Ya'll"!! In the meantime, I need to update my fall door decor and have been looking for a few, fresh ideas.  Better Homes and Gardens had some wonderful fall wreath ideas.  I adore this unusual "wreath" made from a rake. Who said a wreath must be round? Etsy and Pinterest have an abundance of wreath ideas including several swags to use on your harvest door. Another cute idea from Better Homes and Gardens. It makes me think of  warm apple crisp topped with a dollop of whipped cream!   Yum!  Or how about those wonderfully apple scented candles?  Love those! Monograms are all the rage.  I think this would be a simple wreath to make.  Raise your hand if you like simple projects! Super cu

Thanksgiving Dinnerware to Grace Any Table

Southern Living recently published an article entitled "Turkey Plate Special" chronicling the origins of certain patterns.  Who knew that when Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, we would end up with beautiful transferware patterns honoring the official bird of Thanksgiving?  I was excited to see my pattern, "His Majesty" by Johnson Brothers in the article.  We lovingly call these our Traveling Turkey Dishes.  Click  here  to find out why! I set our Reading Room   table with His Majesty for a quick peek at this beautiful pattern.  I love my "Traveling Turkey Dishes".  It is a joy to get them out and use them throughout November.  I also love this old table.  It has the scars of a well lived life and reminds me so much of my sweet grandmother who loved it as much as I do. A close up of His Majesty shows the lovely colors of the season.  I don't own the turkey platter, but it is on my wish list! (Replacements) Anot
