Dear Santa.....


I just want to tell you 
I am sorry for not believing in you the past few years....
(I had my own jolly man - no beard or belly on my jolly guy tho!)

But I am a believer again.

Thank you for remembering my wish list
and bringing me a very special gift that was on my wish list for awhile!

I guess you brought it early because you knew I wouldn't have a tree...
or maybe because you saw the state of our fireplace....
(I wouldnt let anyone climb down that chimney right now!)

 Check out my latest find - and for a steal....
it only set me back 77 one dollar bills!
(I promise I didnt snag them from the kiddos piggy's)



 Isn't she gorgeous!
She used to be in a Shabby Chic store....
the previous owner snagged her and her sister at a 50% off sale
(when Rachel Ashwell closed all her shops around 2 years ago) 
She kept one and decided to sell this one.
  


 Look at her shoes - 
they twirl and spin so beautifully...
just like a ballet dancer. 
She is my very own Sugar Plum Fairy! 



I wonder what used to fill her shelves?
Did she live in a bakery?
 Or perhaps a cobbler's shoppe? 

I cant wait to get her to the new house and fill her 
with all sorts of my lovelies!

So Mr Claus....

what's the status update on those OTHER items that have 
been on the wish waiting list for awhile.....?

:)

Oooh, niiiiii-iiiiiiiice! Where will you put it? Will it have pride of place - maybe just plonked in the middle of a room so everyone definitely notices it!!! ;-)

Happy New Year!
