Front Door Wreath ... Yawn... More Pink... Plus I'm Not Giving Someone a Car for Christmas

I was given a beautiful wreath for my front door!,  So what did i put on it???  A PINK BOW OF COURSE...  

Here it is with little white lights at night... the lights look so much prettier than this photo shows... i put them on a timer so that they come on from dusk to dawn, it's so fun to drive up at night when i get home from work and see them already on...

check out these cool little napkin holders i found at the thrift shop.  they're glass and you can put water in them and real flowers in them... i thought that was so clever... probably everyone in the world already knows about these, but i didn't....

here is the house lit up at night...

as you can see i forgot to remove the pants on the hanger on the front door for the photo... actually i meant to do that... it's called the "unstaged" look...

...yeah, right...

in the above photo, propped up under the mirror,  you can  see this cool old vintage painting i found at the thrift shop 

(i'm a pathological propper upper... i prop things everywhere...)

here is a closeup, can you see the old guy walking with the sheep?

it's really aged and wonderful...

when i found it at the thrift shop, someone had marked it at $125.00!

I called them, and i said, are you people on crack!??? this is the thrift shop... ! even an antique dealer wouldn't sell it for that much!  Some very patient lady said she'd look into it...

next time i saw it it was 65.00... 

waiting.... waiting... waiting...

finally it was marked $25.00... then i bought it!

oh yeah...  a couple of weeks ago this little lady decided she wanted to be painted... her name is Isabelle...

she'll be going to my friend's shop looking for a new home...

and, Finally, to add to this random mix..

i have a bone to pick

have you seen those holiday commercials where the woman surprises her guy with a new car

or the guy has to show his love by buying his wife a 3 carat diamond?  

are they freakin kidding me!!

so, i guess we are soooo stupid and completely inadequate if we can't afford to get our loved ones this stuff for christmas

i'll be lucky if i can afford garbage bags for christmas

you know how mrfractured shows he loves me?

he thought to buy me my favorite meyers geranium dish soap when i run out, it's more expensive, but he noticed i love it..

or he warms up my car for me when it's cold outside...

so you know what i say to those commercials?

Screw you guys!  most people can't afford that stuff! or they're smart enough not to get into debt over it!

...i feel better now...

the end...
