Sad Irons and Chalkware Santa's

 These are a few of my favorite finds! 

I just love Sad Irons...and I don't think one could have too many! 
I'm always on the lookout...especially if i find one for under $20.

Did you know that 'Sad' is an old English word for solid?  The term 'Sad Iron' was often used to distinguish the largest and heavies irons, usually weighing between 5 and 9 lbs.  

Chalkware Love 

There is something primitive and special about these pieces.  

Made using vintage chocolate molds, then hand painted.  

And of course, the stockings were hung by the chimney with care...

What are your favorite finds?

May your Christmas Season be filled with Joy.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds...

 The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there...

Oh how i love all the decorations!
Susan made the Poppa's Tree Farm quilt above, Cheryl made the sweet stockings and this little house scene is warming my parent's home.

Here's a close up of Susan's quilt...i love the small red and green dots in her background fabric.  Get the pattern here
