My blessed mess...

I am blessed with a wonderful mess!

My sweet mamma has been helping me unpack and

 restack the new tchatchkie heaven!

two 39 gallon trash bags full of bubble wrap and 

2 of peanuts 24 boxes 

and this enormous pile of rubber bands...

Here is a close up of moms two favorite shelves

She also pointed out to me how many of the "girls" looked

like the fabulous Doris Day!

Here is the progress on the other side

And here is the full view of the new "digs"

I am hoping to be finished by weeks end, 

pray hard for that one girls!

Many new songs have been made up about the tchatchkie 

and many new forms of spelling and LOTS and Lots of jokes!

maybe I'll share some but not tonight...

Have a great week!

Deck the Halls Friday I am glad to be back!

Here is a peek at our entry last Christmas,

the photos are not he best but you'll get the idea.

I may have even showed this before but 

I can't remember! HAHA

I LOVE Annalee Elves

And over the years I have collected the penguins and 

polar bears, it's such a fun display for the kids.

This is my favorite piece I like to decorated

 it with vintage for each holiday.

The apothecary jars are filled with snow and 

a bottle brush tree then a vintage salt and pepper snow couple

those were my favorite things last year.

I put the Manger in the entry China cabinet each year

It keeps it from getting knocked over...

And up top is the very first bottle brush anything 

I did. The kids and I did the houses in '07

and the piece on the right is the first J. Nichelle prototype.

Don't forget to visit our

A peek at the new Villa...

We have had a wonderful year and a half here

but due to irreconcilable differences with people who are

not being honest we are moving.

 I am so sad to leave this gorgeous home

 We thought we would never leave but stuff happens!

At least we had a great 4th of July with 25

 friends and family and we celebrated 

My great aunts 80th

and her older brothers 84th!

I will miss the views and the spring and the beautiful 

craftsmanship, it was a treat to live here.

We put A LOT of work into this house.

 But we found a new place and a new adventure 

is about to begin. So between moving and opening the shop

BLUEBIRD LANE

I will not be blogging as much I have hardly at all

lately but do check in ya never know!

Visit the shop blog I've posted a peek of the bottom floor :)
