We are remodeling the house we are living in, even though it does not belong to us. It belongs to our daughter. We have a house in another town that our brother in law is living in, that does not need to be remodeled. Confused? So am I. How did this happen and why to me? That is another issue, back to this one.....
Anyway, because of the vast remodeling, I have not been able to decorate for Christmas for the past two years. Which about kills me, I love decorating for Christmas, well any holiday, butI love Christmas. And Valentines Day. And any patriotic holiday. I love celebrating the birth of Christ and love that family is able to gather for the occasion. But not at this joint this past year. My poor decorations sit out in the storage building and wish they were allowed inside. I wish they were able to come in and play but there is no room. Not for any of them. Except on this great postal cabinet from some old hotel I found at an antique joint in Llano, Texas. What a great buy, eh? I decided that I can just decorate it for each holiday and pretend that the house is in one piece and that everything is lovely. What a kidder I am, and dreamer. Not in touch with the real world at all. Do not look too closely because you may be able to see that the wall behind it is just sheet rocked, is that a word?, on one side. The other one. This is in the wanna be kitchen. It will have to be deconstructed before reconstructed but this shelf is going to take up this space until that happens. It will be the best dressed lady in the house. I think I am going to attach some fabric or wrapping paper to the backside to hide my half wall and it will also add some flourish to the decor. Maybe. I guess I need to pack these babies up and send them to the storage room but hate to relegate them to such a dreary existence. I feel a decorating tangent coming on so I better go get busy, now! Where are the tubs of Valentine decorations?? I here them calling my name.....
