Post Christmas

I am amazed and proud of those of you who can maintain your blog during the holidays!!! Hat's off!

The Tefft holidays were different this year, different doesn't have to be bad! This year marked Tom and my 26th Christmas as a couple, and our first Christmas morning without our oldest son Joel! I had anticipated feeling as if the house/morning would seem empty, and while it was different, I didn't feel quite so sad as I and anticipated! 
    We exchanged gifts & tears and enjoyed a late (very late) breakfast! The rest of the day was marked with rain all the live long day, video games,movies & visiting & looking at all the lovely photo's from the wedding album Joel & Christin gave us for Christmas! Capped off with a simple ham dinner! In it's simplicity it was peaceful & not so sad as I had thought! 
Tom and I managed to sneak away shortly after Christmas & enjoyed some quiet moments, reading in front of a fireplace, delicious food, visiting a Mission and our favorite pastime junk shops!   Below are a couple of our finds!!



A pretty little sitting area just outside our room at The Apple Farm where we hid for 3 days!!
        




these are some old soda labels found left in a box in a closed soda company! These will find their way into a couple frames for our kitchen!

 The box of earrings I plan to take apart a few of them and attach them to purses & bags to sell.....one day soon I hope!
We found several other fun little things & drug them home, to find a home for them!
I hope your Christmas was peaceful & special!
