In the process of our re-decorating and re-arranging, we found room for a little piece of useless decoration. Just like real folks.
LovelyDaughter set this up for Christmas, and it's still up, because I like it.
In the background you can see our Golden Margarita-colored wall, with the new sage green curtain panel against it. The cloth under the arrangement is a dishcloth I got for Christmas.
The little book is something I got from my MIL many years ago, a book of recipes for Peppernuts. Peppernuts are a Christmas/holiday treat, usually made with anise. They start out as a stiff dough that is cut into tiny little cookies, and I do mean tiny. Years ago it was source of pride among homemakers how tiny their peppernuts were. Some people rolled the dough into ropes and cut off pieces with scissors. Others rolled the dough out flat and cut out the peppernuts with a thimble.
When Hubby and I got married, we decided to beat everyone, and we use a funnel! -- a Tupperware funnel, with a teensy opening. It makes cute little crunchy bites, and I think we've won the unofficial "Smallest Peppernuts" contest.
Anyway. Stay tuned for more updates on our re-decorating, adding photos one or two at a time as Blogger allows.

Thanks for the visit and yes, grandkids are wonderful. I'm taking my 3 year old grandson to "Build-A-Bear" for his 4th birthday which he will celebrate next week!
I have never heard of Peppernuts and would love to have more info on them. I have a link (on my profile) page to my email address if you have time some time or I'll also be visiting you again and maybe you could share more here.
In His Love and Blessings,
