Norman Rockwell and Hydrangeas

While visiting with my daughter Hollie 
last month, she asked me to arrange
some of her beautiful hydrangeas for her dining area.
 I selected this beautiful Waterford "Millennium" vase
to display the beautiful blossoms on her sideboard.
When Bob and I left for our visit with our daughters,
in early May, our hydrangeas were just starting
to flower.  Hollie was excited to show off her
gorgeous blooms and I was excited to see them. 
She cut enough for me to place all through her house. 
 I am staying in the dining area with my photos
because much of her collection of 
Norman Rockwell is in this room
 I wanted to share some of that collection with you.
This arrangement of Rockwell's prints is called
"Four Seasons Of Love".
Her sister found this collection 
in a thrift shop a few years ago.
Kim had them reframed and 
gave them to Hollie for Christmas.
All these colors on one blossom.
This one is Bob and me. In fact, Hollie 
duplicated this one in cross stitch for me.
It hangs in our breakfast room.

Isn't this couple the cutest? I would have
loved for this to be Bob and me. 
Alas, the physiques don't match.
My closeup of the youngest couple,
upper left, was blurred. It is
a young, barefoot, lad and a little lass
with various wildlife about.
This is Hollie's cross stitch rendition of
"Sunset (Puppy Love, Spooners)"
Her cross stitch looks
as neat on the back as it does on the front.
Her work it absolutely beautiful.


It was hard to get a photo of this piece because of glare.
This is titled"The Last Ear Of Corn"
The little boy is upset because grandpa is taking the last ear of corn. Look at the cobs piled around grandpa's plate.
This framed piece was presented to Bob 
by Green Giant Foods when he was a broker for them.
Another gift from her sister.
I think this may be a kitchen angel
since it has a halo!
Don't think she knows I 
am publishing her home.
Speaking of Halos!!
She and her sister are on a road trip.
Can we say Thelma and Louise?
Last I heard they were leaving the
BADLANDS
and headed for Sturgis, SD.
Dang it!
Make sure you act like ladies!
I'm watching you!


I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my daughter's
house while she is away. She will never know.

PACKING IN CHRISTMAS!!

Many of you know that we were away for Christmas!
So the decorating was slim around here!


I decorated the kitchen chandy with my
 Norman Rockwell Cameo Collecton.







There were nine ornaments in the series depicting Santa from a first appearance through his exhausted finale on Christmas Night. The series ran from 1980 through 1988.


I really restricted my decoration to the breakfast area so of course I decorated the sideboard.








Everything is packed up til next year. I will soon share how the sideboard looks now. I am not quite satisfied with it yet.
We left here and traveled to Tennessee and Illinois.
We had a great time with family and friends.

We passed around the egg nog and the upper respitory infections. Much of the time I was wearing a surgical mask.
And No, I did not get a picture of that!
Here are a few pics I did get!
~~
TENNESSEE








All of these figures are animated and musical. My grandson Jon and I loved to get them all going at once.
Drove my sweet SIL crazy!




Hollie made this beautiful card holder. I meant to get a pic of the sweet advent calender she made.

ILLINOIS


Kim has been really ill the last six weeks so I was not allowed to take pics inside.

She did a total renovation on the outside this summer.
I think it looks so pretty. This was the extent of her Christmas decor. You can see it was a strange holiday for us but at least the meaning was not lost upon us.
We have each other and we are blessed.


I will share the total renovation later





Above is her office and guest house. 
This is where we stay when we visit. 
The field you see was the cornfield
below.



Hey, we're from Savannah!
This IS SNOW and it counts!
Well, we are home and everyone is feeling better.
I have been busy listing new items in the
Be sure to visit and see what's new!
