No Paint Cans...
The holiday season is upon us and I admit I love this time of year (I’m not enthusiastic about cold and snow but so far we have a wonderful lack of both). I love decorating for the holidays both at the shop and at home, I love spending a little extra time with family and friends and I love that most folks tend to be a little cheerier.
It takes a fair number of days to decorate the trees and display the holiday items at Sisters. Every once in a while one of our customers will ask if we have the inclination to decorate at home after we spend so many hours on displays and the answer for me is, absolutely!
At this point I must “confess” I didn’t decorate my home for the holidays 3 or 4 times over the 44 years we’ve been married because we were in the middle of one renovation or another. I just never thought a nicely decorated tree looked good sitting in the middle of paint cans, unfinished floors and heaven knows what else!
This year I am decorating our old farmhouse for the first time (yep, last year we had almost every room in the house ripped up…what IS the matter with us?) and so this year it was fun to figure out where I wanted things to go. After I finish up sometime in the next few days, I’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor, no paint cans allowed…k
