Days 18 & 20: Happenstance

Just earlier this afternoon I was wondering where in the world I might find a snowman to take a photo of! I went to a Christmas dinner with my beau (on his side of the family), and one of his younger cousins had made everyone little snowmen! It's funny how these things have a nice way of showing up when I need to see them. I tried to get my beau's kitty, Sissy, to get in the photo of the snowman. It didn't work perfectly so I included a closeup of just the snowman too. 

Also, as promised, I finally hung the stockings I purchased not long ago from my workplace and got a phot of them. I thought they were too cute and when they went on sale I really couldn't resist. After the sale and my employee discount I think they ended up costing about $5 each. Plus, since my beau is into wildlife I thought he'd like them too. That's his mantle I hung them over (he really needed some Christmas decorations!) 

Day 18: Stocking

Stockings were the challenge today. I don't have a stocking at home, and I don't think there are any at work. But I do have a different kind of stocking.

Well I thought my stocking picture would count, but this just goes to prove that I'm not the walking dictionary. When I went to look up the definition in order to prove my picture would count, I found out it doesn't. So here's my picture of a long sock that I temporarily hung in my kitchen to take this picture. (I do own the kind of stocking described in the definition.)

Just focus on the super cute tea pots in the background. One of them I found at a yard sale and Miss Ellaneous just gave me the other one. My collection is up to four tea pots.
