Dad and Josh have a turn!

Welcome and see what is going on around here.....

Finally, the Christmas Spirit visited our home otherwise know as MaMaw. She got Dad's Nascar ready to go! Then his airplane tree not so much. But she did a good job based on what she had to work with. The famous angels sit front and center. I think they did a great job His car trees got the most attention but they had an unlimited supply of nascar ideas and it gives them the most advantage. This airplane tree seems to have lots of planes missing, but it still looks nice. Doug decorated the entrance way. It is s huge poinsettia, also with timer candles sitting of a Christmas tree skirt. It is very inviting.
This is my leather rug. It is, hand made strips of leather. Although it is beautiful, it is hot. You better believe your tootsies are warm when they are on this rug.

What things have you gotten done so far....

I would love a comment.

Thank you for stopping in,

Uncle Doug's Treasures

Doug has a booth in a local antique mall. He spent the weekend decorating for the holidays. Along with momma he rearranged everything and it looks lovely. He has searched out treasures from all over the Southeast. Depression glassware, lamps, dishes, bone china, crystal, waterford, you name it. He has collected Christmas decorations and displayed them beautifully. I am so proud.

Momma has a booth there also. Look how beautifully she has displayed everything.

Thank you so much for stopping in. I am so proud of what he has done with his booth. I would appreciate it if you would let me know you stopped by, please leave me a comment so I will know. Happy Thanksgiving
