Foozle!
"foozle"
"to do anything awkwardly:
a stupid fellow;
a bungling stroke, as in golf."

Merry Christmas Eve!


Hope you all are enjoying the holidays...
We sure are, I've been having so much fun today on my parents computer...
It's awesomely fast and loads pages mine won't,
so, I think I've learned how to load my latest Etsy treasury
to share with you all...
Let's see if I did this right...

Word of the Day...

Well, as you all know I've been so enjoying my collection
of Christmas pixie elves and knomes the last week or two...
so the Word of the Day is...

Gnome...


"Gnome"
"a fabulous, deformed, diminutive goblin, supposed to dwell in
the earth or to be the guardian spirit of miners;
a pithy or sententious saying"

Just love this old book...thought I'd share a few more fabulous
Christmas gnomes and elves that I found on Etsy...
we still have a few in our shop also!






Hope you enjoyed all these sweet little gnome - elves...
Happy Holidays!

Word of the Day!


So, I've been enjoying my Christmas pixie elves so much the last week or so,
and over the years my mom has called me an "imp" quite often
I was never really sure what it meant...
  I kinda knew it had something to do with the elves...
well, it's in our fabulous dictionary!




"imp"
"a young, little, or inferior devil; a hobgoblin; sprite; a pert or mischievous child."
hmmm...is all I have to say about that!

Word of the Day!

Word of the Day

today I found
"jay"
"a crow-like, chattering bird with handsome plumage;
a country bumpkin;
a greenhorn;
a poor actor."

I just had to look and sure enough both greenhorn and bumpkin
are in this delightful book...

Have a good night!

Mischievous Christmas PIxie Elves




Well, both sets of our little pixie elves sold...I kind of miss them...
as you can see in the pictures below the red and green ones were
quite mischievous, always getting into things...
the candy cane striped ones were a bit better behaved...

I just can't wait...
