Around my home....the November version....{aka} the holiday 'before'!

Almost 2 years ago, I dropped my good 50mm camera

lens and it broke.  I was so frustrated with myself, I put

the lens in a drawer and tried to forget it.  However, the 

photos of my home that I was taking and putting on the blog

were harsh reminders of how much I missed that 

sweet lens....the one lens that helped me take beautiful photos

despite my lack of camera knowledge.....

Last week I sucked it up and went and purchased a 

new 50mm lens and have since been enjoying

taking photos around my 'November' home.

Let's consider these the 'before' photos for the forthcoming

'after' holiday version photos, shall we?

My paperwhites are doing what they do best this month and

sprouting happily on my kitchen window sill.

See that pretty rusty metal olive bucket?  She's gonna have 

a skinny natural tree in her by mid-December....

Whenever I show a photo of this table I get lots of questions

about where it's from....It's a big vintage pedestal

table I bought at a Farm Chicks Show about 3 years

ago.  I bought it within the first 5 minutes of walking into

the show for $120 - I know a bargain when I see it.

This is EXACTLY how it looked when I bought it.

It's super hard to find good BIG round tables.

The photo in upper right corner of this collage outs my growing vintage cane collection.

For some things there is no explanation.  But this I do know -

when me and hubs are in need, we will be well stocked!

And this photo above is of my 'little fiddle leaf fig that could'.
I am proud this original Ikea plant is still going strong!
It has potential to be big and strong one day.

My pooches got haircuts {they are both mini-goldendoodles} and

momma has gone with a black and white pillow arrangement on the

couch - {alert the media, people!}

The French hatrack could use some attention, but I am enjoying the 

view of my new grain sack stockings that will make their 

debut on my mantel this year!

Paperwhites.....what can I say, their growth is MY advent calendar.....

I apologize for my lack of blogging lately....I felt bad enough that

I put together this one big, fat, juicy post.  I hope you enjoyed it.
