Sandy has a little gnome named Cedric who is a traveling gnome and he came to my home for a little visit last week. He was a "huge" helper! He enjoyed making cards with me and posing with the little pilgrim candles. He really likes "small" folks! Thank you, Sandy for allowing Cedric to visit Minnesota!
I joined Erica's Putz House swap and my partner was Shirley and she made me this most AWESOME gingerbread putz house! LOOK at all the details! She used some vintage items too when she made the house. It has a little light in it too! The back is also finished! "WOW" is all I can say and a Huge THANK YOU, Shirley! She included a gingerbread tree, a cupcake in a cloche, paper box with candy in it and already eaten...(bad girl), sweet Santa tag and a vintage Christmas card. I think I'll be decorating within the week and these will go on my bow window!
Tomorrow starts the sale at Auntie M's in Hopkins. There are 4 or 5 shops that are all having a discount at their shops unless the item is firm! I'll be at The Vintage Cottage in Chaska if you want to visit those shops! Lots of Christmas items!
Have a great weekend! Our weather is awesome for November! Thankful!
Warmly,
deb

Oh wow! I was laying in bad lastnight and I thought "I wonder if anyone made a Gingerbread House for their Swap". LOL
Well leave it to Shirley! She knocked it out of the park with this! It's sooo cute.
I hope you both had fun.
Heading to Auntie M's in the AM...hope I DON'T come home with loads of x-mas...I've got to quit!
We decided to do the "soup and bread" thing here for Thanksgiving too! Plus pie of course! :)
Erica :)
How very cute. I love the exchanges and have seen several of the featured now. Your new little house is darling.
We had an early Thanksgiving because the kids were all here. I think we might work as servers in a local shelter this year- xo Diana
I love gingerbread houses. What an adorable theme. You really did get some many delightful treasures. That gnome looks right at home with his new pilgrim friends. I'm sure he'll have a hard time parting from your house.
What a cute gingerbread house she made!! Loving the gnome...will he travel on somewhere else? Soup sounds delightful for Thanksgiving.
Have a great weekend!
How cute is that? A gingerbread putz house...so sweet! And, he matching tree. Your partner did a great job! Love the travelling gnome!!
You got a darling ginger bread house, and a little helper gnome. I think you should at least cook a turkey breast. You are a lucky girl think of all the work you got out of. We will be going out for dinner because of the wedding, nope I am not super women

Deb,
How adorable!!!!! I love the gnome that came to visit! lol
I wish I could do soup and bread for dinner, but my kids only get this once a year....Wayne is helping though, he has off Wednesday...
Happy Thanksgiving!

Sooooooo cute. I never thought of a gingerbread house. So many cute ones. I got mine today and can't wait to post it.
What a cute swap! I love the gingerbread house! Great fun with the Gnome visit also! I'm ready to get some Christmas going on around here!
hugs, Linda
Hehehe. I think Cedric looks like a fun houseguest! Picks up after himself and doesn't eat much, I imagine. Your Putz gingerbread house you received is wonderful! Happy Thanksgiving!
The Putz house is adorable. Soup and bread does sound so nice. Have a wonderful week and enjoy your relaxing time with your Hubby. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm glad that Cedric was a big help :) I hope you have a wonderful Thanks Giving!
P.S Please e-mail me if you have any more pix of Cedric.
Hugs!Sandy
I am so glad you like the little house! I was away for a few days, but I am getting caught up and will post your dear and wonderful house! I'm glad you posted pictures...I forgot to take pics of the Gingerbread house when it was done...now I have a picture to steal...lol! Happy Thanksgiving, you sweet girl!
