FALL DECORATING ON STEROIDS............A friends House Tour.

Last year at Christmas I had the pleasure of being invited to the home of
Rose.....The SantaMaker.....of the blog...

Rose no longer Blogs but her Holiday Decorating Skills
certainly deserves to be seen and enjoyed by the
Blogging Community....

So here is my Fall Tour of Rose's beautiful Home....
I was invited to Join Rose and her neighbors for a
"Housewives" style game night....

I had no idea when I got there that Rose decorates her home
For the Four Seasons....
How cool is that....

Fall was everywhere....
She has a wonderful talent for staging....
I felt Like I was stepping into a magazine...

there wasn't a piece of furniture that didn't have a decoration on it...

I can't even imagine how long it takes her to decorate the whole house...


Align Center
She changes everything in the house for all four seasons.....
from the pillows on the sofa to the
Draperies on the windows....
it's amazing...



Her Dining Room is my favorite....
the blue porcelain pieces are everywhere and they
are Gorgeous...

I love how she stacks things on the seat of chairs.....
What a clever idea....
Let's not forget the smells of Fall....







Isn't this a great piece.....
She makes all her own floral arrangements and she also made that circular hanging piece that is
behind the candles....
It is made with paper.....


even the kitchen counter was decorated.....
And now for what a lot of you know Rose is famous for....
Her handmade Santa's.....
They are all for sale and on display in her Living Room....

Rose makes all the clothes......sculpts and paints the faces....
They are spectacular....

The NorthWoods Santa...

The French Santa....

The All American....

If Ralph Lauren designed a Santa this is what he would look like....
I Love the Coat...
They stand a good 2 feet tall....

If anyone would like more info on Rose's Santa's you can send me an e-mail
and I'll pass it along to Rose.....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE.....
AND HAPPY FALL!!!

I love the features on that pumpkin face on the shelf. Looks like the man in the moon. This can work out well. Rose will have more time to decorate and YOU can blog about it!

PS. Enjoyed touring your house, too. (11/11) Pretty! Can't believe you've gotten it together so well. Wish you'd show some unpacked boxes so I'd feel better.

Next time I expect refreshments. :)

I am blown away by the beauty of her decorations, however I am not shocked by them - I know Rose is a talented gal. I have seen her Santa's and decorations on her blog. She is awesome.

Thanks for the tour. Beautiful!

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
