All Tied Up

I was at my favorite thrift shop the other day and this display stopped me in my tracks. I'm guessing someone who loved bowties passed away and his loved ones donated them to the shop. Some lovely person spent quite a bit of time making all those ties. (I'm guessing they are homemade because I purchased some of the same fabric at Joann's.) Priced at $3.00 each they're going to make a bowtie-loving person very happy!

Camilla Returns

It's December in my classroom and that means Camilla the Christmas Chicken comes back for her yearly visit.  My students were so excited to come into the classroom to see what she brought them. (She brought a puzzle from this book, if you're curious.)

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

While my family does not share my enthusiasm for vintage ceramic Christmas trees, they make me happy. And since it's "that time of year," they are all over the house! Do you have a favorite holiday decoration?
