A Little Bird Told Me....

Yes, this little birdie mentioned that we celebrated a certain Baby Bee's birthday.....

So we had to get out the FAMILY BIRTHDAY DECORATIONS!

These are kind of like holiday decorations, 

but they're for family birthdays!

Can you guess how old Baby Bee is now?

First, we fill one of the apothecary jars with all kinds of birthday candles......

Then we get out the cutest little cupcake from the fabulous

Jenny Holiday.

(Worked a long time getting that little cutie on ebay several years ago.)

And of course, this plaque is a particular favorite 'cause she looks just like my Baby Bee did when she was about 4 years old!  Baby Bee even had that mischievous and yet angelic expression on her face too.

And here they are, all together!

Do you have special decorations for your family birthdays?

Well I'm sharing these over at 

My Romantic Home

for

Show and Tell Friday!

Hope you can join us over there for the party!

Thanks for buzzin' in!  We all enjoy seeing you visit our little cottage.

And thank you for all your well wishes!  I'm good enough to go to work and those report cards are all done and delivered to my students.  YEAH!

And, if you're still here - I'm working on my 400 follower giveaway!
Here's a sneak peek......

hope you can buzz by again!

A Little Winter Love

Just a little winter lovin' before all that heart racing fun of Valentine's Day.  These decorations don't come out until all of the Christmas is put away.  (or at least "staged" for putting away)

Apothecary jar pretties....

one filled with snowflakes cut out with the mighty Cricut...

one filled with snowball-like ornaments....

("borrowed" the mitten ornament from Baby Bee's Christmas tree)

and one filled with faux snow and faux snowflakes.

Coffee table with new (to me) rustic bowl and pine cones.

Pretty snowflake platter picked up at the Bybee Pottery store in Louisville this summer.

Another little platter on display in the living room.

Some snowman love!

Last shot of these great little ornaments.  Picked them up at Walmart last Christmas on clearance.  They just remind me of snowballs.  This basket is a centerpiece on our kitchen table.  If you want to see the banner we have hanging above the table you can see it here.

Hope this post finds you enjoying a warm white chocolate latte or a steaming cup of herbal tea. Let's all try to stay warm and cozy.

Thanks for popping in for a visit.  Your visits are always welcome (and so are your comments)!
