OK, I added a metamorphose at the end of this post……Joining Susan for Met Monday
This time of year I feel we all have a lot to share. I am inspired by all of you and excited to see every one’s holiday spirit and homes decorated to the nines. Therefore, you will be seeing a little more of me, because I too have more to share. BUT…don’t tell anyone, I am slipping back into my old ways…OLD habits are hard to break, and I was doing good there for awhile…whatevs, TIS the season to be jolly, and I want to join in, I hate to miss the fun… no harm in that!!~
Here are some snippets for ya!
DON’T forget my generous giveaway going on HERE
And this is what I am doing for the rest of the day…….
OK now onto my Metamorphose. When my Mom and sis were visiting, we took a trip to Raleigh, North Carolina. We stopped at a Flea market which I will be sharing with you sometime soon. My Mom spied this MAC Daddy of all Tureens. She knew I had been wanting one and said she would buy it for me for Christmas. I said “well OK ” without hesitation. She does believe she got a deal on this. It is from the 1940’s and in perfect shape. Has the ladle and all. Also it is electric, however we do not have the cord.She paid $50.00 for it. After looking at Ebay, nothing even came close to this one, and some were very expensive, like in the $200.00 range. I am no expert on these prices, however there are a lot of you gals out there with these pieces, NOT like mine though:)
DON’t forget about my generous giveaway going on all week!
Also joining DIY

Hey there, can't wait to see every thing so hurry hurry so I can get some new ideas. I always like what you do. As for the red netting, I have had this for 2 years and just now using it because I didn't quite know what to do with it either. Well, I have got to get some decorating done, still have all of the outside to do, and not sure if I am gonna leave the inside like it is?
Hey, good to hear you!. I got my tree and outside ornaments up yesterday. I won't be showing it because it is certainly not over the top like everyones. Just glad it is finished all white and pink….. Surprised? I will anxiously await your posts!
Carol
LOVE what I see so far!!! 😉
Love the tureen with red ornaments.
Ooh that tureen is very pretty especially with the ornaments. 🙂
Am I glad you're back!!! Haha!! 😀 😀 The merriment just began for me with your pictures!! 🙂 Hugs.
Look at you! I am sooo glad you have decided to stick around for the holidays! I was not looking forward to blogging this season w/out you. I love your new tureen it is beautiful, and with a cord too??? I also love the beautiful painted word ornaments inside. They are fantastic, your writing is very good! Trust me, I know how hard it is to write very pretty on a Christmas ball, that is no small task. You aced it girlfriend! Your halfway tree is too funny! I cannot wait to see more! Happy holidays Miss Debbiedoo's!
I bought the X-mass balls already like that….no way could I write that nice.
Debbie! Debbie! Debbie! I have that EXACT same tureen! I have the plug but have never plugged it in because I am afraid it would short out. I am going to take a picture of it and email it to you. It belonged to MyHero's grandmother…AND no one wanted it when they emptied her house. We are SOOO connected. I left my camera at my daughter's house so I will take a picture tomorrow.
Glad to see you back…it is hard to leave something you love! Hugs- Diana
Your new soup tureen is beautiful Debbie!!!
Your tureen is beautiful! What a nice Mom!
Loved seeing your wonderful holiday snippets. I love, love, love the soda bottles in the jar. I may have to steal that one from you. Did I mention I love it? LOL
I usually wait until after my husbands birthday to decorate (12/3), but I'm thinking I may go early this year. Love your inspiration.
Those red balls look great in your new piece. I finally got my tree up yesterday. Lots of work. Saw you at BNOTP.
Very pretty idea Debbie. Simple yet charming. I'm going to try it.
Happy week! ~Melissa 🙂
Hi Debbie! Well, I for one am happy you are slipping back into some old habits because I so enjoy seeing your posts! Are we all just co-dependent? 🙂 I love all of your photos and getting a great sneak peak at your holiday decor!

I was just thinking about you last night. I'm so glad to see this post. Now I have to see if there have been any more that I missed since I thought you were "gone". Merry Christmas.
Your colors make for a very festive holiday! That tureen is gorgeous Debbie!!
Have fun decorating. Looking forward to seeing your house all decorated for Christmas.
