CREATING IN ANTICIPATION OF CHRISTMAS

Last week was a whirl wind of activity. I have started to decorate Nutmeg Hill
and I have been making stokcings and ornaments galore.

Sunday was toppped off with attending the magnificent Vesper's service at Culver Military academy. It was captivating. Could not take photos in the church....but had you been there you would have been in awe of the grand decorations and wonderful
music. There were hundreds of people in attendance and all were enthralled.

I am attaching some photos of my most recent creations. You can find them on Etsy under the seller THEVELVETRABBIT and on Ebay under the seller name SUMMERSDARLING.

Contact me if you cannot finnd what you are looking for or if you would like something custom designed for yourself or as a gift. I am always happy to accomodate those who are interested in my art.

Spread some Chritstmas cheer around with RADOM ACTS OF KINDNESS. I have been doing this lately and it has brought me great joy and delighted the person who received the kindess...just their smiles delight me. Now isn't that what Christmas is all about.

Send me a description of a radom act of kindess you perfomed and I will enter you in
my drawing for one of my handmade bump chenille ornaments to be awareded on December 18th.

And still some more photos of NUTMEG HILL

STAGING THE HOUSE

From June to October I have been working on the house and staging it. Recently a South Bend Tribune writer visted my home and it will be featured on Saturday November 26th. I am very excited about this honor and thought I would share some photographs of the improvements. I am especially proud of the kitchen. It was all a lot of hard work but well worth it. Please leave a comment if you have time. I would love that.

So much has happened. It has been so long

Hello everyone,
It has been so long since I blogged I think I may have forgotten how.

I have been listing some holiday fare on Ebay and I have attached a few photographs
for you.

I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

There is a free image that you can save in this post.

At the moment I am drying oranges in the oven and the fragrance in the house is amazing. See photos.

I will be back again. You can count on it. Leave a comment. I would love that.

Just between us girls it has been far to long since I posted anything

We have been in a mad rush to stock up for the holidays and I have not been blogging at all. I really miss you and miss seeing all the wonderful offerings you create and seeing your families and friends on your blogs and all the fun activities.

I am going to show you some photographs of some of the offerings we are creating on Ebay
under the seller name Nutmeg-Hill.

These are brand new creations...offerings you have not seen before.

Hope you enjoy the eye candy as much as we did creating the items.

OOOh we are having so much fun girls

OOOh yes we are. We have been stocking up our Ebay and Etsy shops and selling things in a auction every two weeks. Casey is painting up and restoring so many grand pieces of furniture and I am helping by reupholstering some items, creating bump chenille ornaments and restoring old baby clothes and offering vintage patterns.
A vintage apron that has never been used can be seen in the photos I just listed for you. We will be selling in a local antique shop soon and are very excited about this new venture. The owner requested are items and we are so honored.

I hope you will visit our Etsy and Ebay shops. We would love it. Glad to be back.
We are also cooking up a surprise that will be coming in late October or the first of November. We will gradually fill you in on the details.
