Brrrrrr...it's been bitterly cold here and we're waiting to hear if we're going to be hit by this crazy storm that is headed towards the East Coast.  Since the theme of the day seems to be snow, I thought I'd share some of my wintery snow globes and Christmas cloches. I have these all about the house this year.  This one is housing a glittery church ornament I picked up at Walmart.  No, that is...

I love dressing up this vintage school desk we have in our diningroom.  Of course, 'tis the season for some Christmas touches. I did a Pottery Barn knock-off with the noel letters.  I've been wanting to do it for literally two years.  I finally remembered to pick up the letters during my last trip to A.C. Moore. The snowman and reindeer are from Home Goods.  I made the framed holiday sheet music using a graphic...

Or is it a milk tin?!  Whatever you call it, I picked this up at Home Goods a few years ago.  We used to have it on our porch but it didn't quite fit with my beachy decor, so off to the shed it went. I dug it out yesterday to give it a Frenchie makeover. This seriously took four coats of white spray paint to cover.  Holy moly, I was in a cloud of...
