The girls and I went on a little field trip this morning over to Monticello Antiques. So much to see! My favorite little shopping buddy came along with us....
The Christmas season has very clearly arrived at Monticello and I was immediately inspired... just take a look, and you'll be inspired too!
*sigh* The holidays will be here before we know it!



Thanks for sharing the inspiration. The season will be upon us before we know it. Your little guy...so cute...those cheeks and the curls. Just makes me want to hug him. Loved all the sparklies and love those little trees. Anxious to see your booth all dressed for the holidays.

I just love every bit of it! Boy, do I miss the days when I could take my daughter antiquing without fear of something breaking or her being bored to death!

Ha ha I took my one grandson to my fav. town for inspiration today. He had the day off from school. He's now 9. I was all excited over the beautiful glitter decorations and pink fluffy Christmas trees. He said "Last night was great, this morning was great, this is boring." I reminded him he had a great sloppy joe and mash potatoes for lunch haha. Enjoy before now before cutie can add his opinion.
Best,
Kathy

Well, well. Do I have the most handsome little great grandson? All of the pics you took are really inspiring to me also. Maybe this year I'll decorate outside also.

......nothing glitters like that cutiepiesweetcupcakeofagrandson Tracey! :o)
I think your happiness is contagious Tracey -- your post left me with a sudden urge to "Think Christmas" ~ oh, and "Think Grandbabies" too! (we just had our 4th sweet grandson born 3 days ago making it: Girls "0" & Boys "4". I'm in total love with "Team Blue"!) :o)
God Bless,
Barbra.
