I had the pleasure of attending
Miss Linda's
Annual Christmas Tea this week...
OK...let me tell...
Linda is THE cutest, sweetest Texas gal
you will ever meet!
Her home is every bit as festive and warm
as her heart!

I felt like a child that had fallen into the rabbit hole....
there were lights and decorations everywhere.
I could hardly take it all in!
I was so happy to finally meet my all time favorite
Texas blogger and neighbor after all this time!
Her daughters are lovely and precious too..
not to mention her darling quad grandchildren...
adorable beyond measure!
I also came home with slices of her
Kentucky Butter Cake, which is now on
my Christmas Eve list!
Her lovely home inspired me to
bring out a few more decorations.....
Thank you Linda for being such a fabulous hostess!!
Right down Santa Claus lane......
Such Merry Gentlemen!

The tiny woodland Santa....
Now this beautiful Santa is one of my all time favorites!
His leopard print coat is so representative of the way we
Texas girls love to decorate!
I bought him years ago in Arlington, Texas
at Decorator's Warehouse!
The glitzy reindeer was a purchase I made in Maine!
They greet you as you enter our home dressed up for Christmas!
I love them!
Biting the bows......
December seems to have just flown by....
can you believe we have just a few days left until
we celebrate Christmas, 2015?
