Because it is almost Christmas,
Because there are only two presents under my Christmas tree that fell twice,
Because I found something that I think will stump you,
Because when I go to bed too late and my mind is too mushy too write...
Then it is a very good day to announce a Guessing Game tomorrow.
photo: What-nots found at the flea market. Aren't those Doll house candle holders pretty cool?
I love you and your treasure troves are divine.
I am so proud and happy you are a friend of mine.
Merry Christmas Sugar Plum
I love you
Jeanne

Love the candleholders but I covet the paper. What is it with old paper that gets my heart racing?

Yesterday I received an e-mail from Stampington about your fabulous finds for sale..............and they were already SOLD OUT, boo hoo! I wanted them, they were gorgeous! Hope you have more later.
Meanwhile, this little vignette is awesome Corey - what great paper. Looking forward to the Guessing Game.

candlestick holders wow! Pinkie Denise

I love the candlesticks! My Mom made me a doll house from a kit when I was about 8 years old. She shed many tears over that ridiculous kit... it came in about a million pieces and none of them were labeled! It's looking a bit rickity these days but I made her promise she would keep it for me so I can "renovate" it. Now I know who to come to when I'm looking for the perfect candlesticks for the fireplace!
Posted by: Travelingmama | 13 December 2007 at 04:29 PM
You hoo! Guessing game for me and you!!
Posted by: Brother Mathew | 13 December 2007 at 05:22 PM
I love your guessing games and I am always a total flub with them. Well, a girl can hope can't she?

Oh Corey, I've been reading all the posts I've missed lately. Of course, you have hundreds of comments. You've made me smile and cry this morning. Mission accomplished, I think!
I hope your holidays are wonderful!

That is a gorgeous picture frame, Corey! See ya tomorrow - this time I'm gonna WIN, just you wait and see! ;p
Posted by: susanna | 13 December 2007 at 07:15 PM
The frame is beautiful, a work of art in itself.
Posted by: Colette | 13 December 2007 at 08:04 PM
The bad news - I've been away sick with a lowdown mean and nasty bug and have missed so much.
The good news - there's so much to catch up on with you here Corey. :)
And I've recovered just in time for another mind blowing romper stomper round of a stumper, guessing game! Yippie!
I love today's vignette - the worn frame and those charming candle sticks.
Back to resting my gray cells now in preparation for the hair pulling out tomorrow. ;)

i'm not asking for much and becoming stumped only inspires.
the mini chandeliers are gorgeous!
i still have a complete tiny table set left from our doll house, cherishing it like delicate cristal...
thank you for remembering, corey!
although i'm home late, i will not miss your guessing party tomorrow!
Posted by: marita | 13 December 2007 at 10:56 PM
Corey, I love your blog, I devour it. I ordered some papillotes and love the story you told about them. It makes them all the more special. Thank you for always brightening my day, you are like an angel!

"Our" Corey!!!
*Naughty* Corey! ,-) You didn't tell us!
What?
I just opened my new 'Victoria' magazine and what did I find, but an article on "our" Corey's lovely old French home. Oh I am so excited, I might just jump out of my skin.

Hmmm, round two...they hung from roofs to let the water drip from them to make perfect icicles. :) I love your guessing games. Can't wait to find out what they really are.
