Decluttering, Liberace, & a vintage find.

Hello Beautiful Homebodies!

How are all of you?

I hope a lovely and peace filled Christmas was yours.

We had a nice holiday, did things a little differently due to schedules and work, but it was lovely.

The weather has been nice, warm in the 40's ish, and they predict almost 60 by the weekend.Enjoying that for every day it is not icy or freezing is a bonus and we inch toward spring. Christmas is past and snow is no longer required. 

My husband and youngest son were off the day after Christmas, we decided it would be nice to get out of "Dodge", with the weather above freezing it was a safe bet we could get to Amish Country without getting stuck. I think this is the 1st  year we've ever done this, usually the weather is not accomodating. 

It was pleasant, not alot of tourists, traffic was light...very nice. 

So off we went. We had a lovely lunch, stopped at a bulk store, and a favorite antique place where I was just browsing, and didn't plan for a purchase, I just wanted to see what was there. 

I had made it through the entire place right until the end...

and I found this lovely. 

A stunner, I love the vintage chandeliers, this is as close as it comes.

 .I wasn't going to get it, it is rather heavy &  the age old question....where I that going to go? My husband took it off the shelf, and as he always says, I don't want to circle back when you change your mind, I have done that a few times. 

I call it "Liberace",  some of you might remember him, with the grand piano & he always had a candelabra on the piano.

Today, decluttering the spare room, and have a nice bit of items for the charity shop.

Something in....Something out.....alot of somethings out....

Our tree is still up and will be until Jan 6 or 7. I packed up everything else already, it just feels cluttered although I put out less and less. Our home is small and all of it gets a bit overwhelming after a while. I put out the decorations earlier than I do the tree. First up, First down.

If I don't talk to you before the new year, Happy, Blessed New Year to you all.

I'm all mixed up on what day it is, oh bother!

~ The joy is in the making~
