Vintage Christmas Pillow!

Hello friends!  Just a little Christmas tip for you today:

Get yourself on over to Target!  I was there the other day and found this cute little snowman pillow for $2.50 in the Dollar Spot.  They had so many great ones, too, not just this little guy.  I considered making some felt pillows for Christmas, because I had a lot of fun making these for Halloween, but for $2.50?  Forget it!  I'll just buy them!

He's the perfect little spot of color on my favorite houndstooth chair!

Also, a few little housekeeping items today.  I have been looking for a post in which to thank a few ladies for some awards, but apparently I am very wordy (no surprise to my husband) and this is the first post that wouldn't be a mile long if I added to it.  So here goes:

Thank you to Coco of Ordinary Miracles for this award:

Thanks to Circle of Life for this little beauty:


And a shout out to Jenni of Nest to Keep for this one:

And lastly, thank you to JennyKate at JennyKate'sSpot for this one:

You girls are such great blogging friends and it has been fun to get to know you!  And now...I am off to do some serious Christmas decorating.

    The pillow is really cute. I was in Target yesterday - I can't believe I didn't see them. Guess I'll just have to go back.
