Priorities

P1010036


Years back my mother gave me this antique German flask with a spirited and jolly old Santa on the front. I laughed at the humor in it – and kind of feel like this today…balancing both hands with things that need to be done around the house.





Priorities…like Santa, only with coffee!

  1. You might like a little hot chocolate with a drop of peppermint schnapps! it goes very well with decorating!

  3. The balancing act, at times, can be difficult. Love the sweet little flask and those bottle brush trees are too cute.

  6. What an adorable piece Becky. I know what you mean about balancing, I've been doing quite a bit of that myself lately!

  7. Just popping by to see what you've been up to, it's been awhile since I visited. Those black bottom cupcakes look divine and the "green soup" - yumm!

    Enjoy the season!

  8. Love it Becky. I spotted that flask right off the bat. It is truly beautiful and yep I know
    how old Santa feels sometimes.
    I do the same thing only with
    coffee too.

  10. I think we all feel like this at this time of year. We just need to recharge our batteries once in awhile. When I drive by homes and see Christmas trees and lights already, I catch my breath for a second. But I know better to hold myself up to others standards. So I am taking it slow, and yes, I have a lot of coffee!

    PS...Made your Black Bottom Cupcakes. They were delish but you forgot the sugar. I caught it in time! lol!

  14. I haven't been by in awhile....I sure enjoyed catching up, reading through till I hit bottom. Looks like you've got more than a good start to your Christmas decor. Everything was so warm and inviting. I would imagine you've got a few scented candles burning to match the mood of your festive setting.
    You know it's said rum-eggnog from a flask enhances the flavor. {-;

    Sweet holiday wishes,
