    Good morning Rose...I'd love to see inside that magazine! Congrats to you...Everything is so well decorated...I'm wondering who is in the photograph by the antique typewriter? That is a darling vignette... ;-) Bo

    What a beautiful home you have...and so nicely decorated for the holidays! And your Santa's are all so elegant!

    If I hop in I-75... I wonder how long it would take for me to get there to kidnap one or two? I promise they would be in good hands!

    Rose, your home looks beautiful! Of course, your Santas are so charming. I may have to stay away from your blog. Every time I come, I want to buy more of your beautiful creations (and we both know I do NOT need more Santas). Your banister and mantle look so pretty. Can't wait to see the rest of the tour. laurie
