Prepping the Countdown Posts

Because I have been at the Countdown to Christmas for quite a few years now, I have a nice archive of images to post. 

Sharing a recipe for Christmas Fudge, in all of its messy glory. I am making a batch for Thanksgiving.  Post update - half batch of the fudge shown below. 

The 1963 version of Tami - wish I still had that Barbie case. 

And a fun image from year's past - Christmas Dino. 

Pattern of the Day is from 1969 Simplicity 8532. One of the images I have kept from the cut patterns that I sent back to the Great Thrift Shop Beyond. 

My thrifting focus has been my usual items to sell on eBay, and buying outdoor decorations for the upcoming Candy Cane Lane post scheduled for Wednesday, December 4th. 

Sneak peek at Candy Cane Lane.🍬The red tree was a thrift shop rescue, claiming to be "prelit" but the lit had left a long time ago. I will cut out the non-working lights and replace them with new-to-me ones. 

Almost all of the Countdown posts are complete. October is when I queue up each day's post. It is going to be a momentous Countdown this year!
