Horton's is having an open house sneak peek of the Christmas Market., this Saturday. The Christmas Market will be December the 5th. But tomorrow is a browsing day. I saw lots of red polka dot ribbons and red plaid trimmed serving dishes.
This tree had sheet music covered ornaments...very pretty. This could be a way to dress up some of your old ornaments.
This fake wall with old sink is always a good spot for the Horton's to decorate. I actually thought this old sink sold at the last market. It's always filled with the latest scents.
I loved this wreath. It's make of thin slices of a small limb , glued together and accented with a burlap ribbon and sprig of greenery.
I like this very thin chair back sitting upon this shelf. I guess we should never throw anything away.
Never put that old ladder away. Ever !! Here's one with small life trees in little galvanized pails and sweet signs...one for each step.
The water fountain feature is without water at this time of year....it's filled with a bundle of skinny logs and evergreens and a big wooden star. I am sure tomorrow there will be more pops of red in this display. The Hortons were working like beavers to get it all ready for tomorrow.
Now look, if your dolly has cracked her head open...just make a vase of it. LOL. See what I mean about not throwing anything out?
I am going to the open house tomorrow. I hope to get more pictures. Some areas were closed off to the public.
Hope your day is a wonderful one. XO
Susie, I wish I could go to Horton's open house with you. Look at all these goodies. That old sink with all the wonderful scents is charming. and I love the sheet music ornaments. Jess and Nel made those one year, and they turned out lovely. Have fun tomorrow, Susie, and be sure to show us what you bought.

Sheri, I like to go to Horton's and get ideas and talk with people I run into there. Plus the Hortons are just great people. I like to shop there and help keep them in business. We have lost so many stores in our town... Years ago...before the big malls and stores, we had dress shops, men's stores and three shoe stores. a JC Penneys. Two variety stores. Hardware stores. Just about every thing you could need,. you could find in our town 45 years ago. I think it's wonderful when our kids make ornaments. I still have many that my daughters and I made when they were little. Blessings for a great weekend, love you, Susie
DeleteThere are lots of Christmas decorating ideas in these photos. I like the living trees on the ladder.
ReplyDeleteHi Terra, Thank you for stopping by. I did not show and old drill brace that hand been made into a hanging decorations with plaid ribbons and greenery on it. So cute. Yes, I love those little pails with the trees. I thought I would buy one for my table on the porch. Blessings for a nice weekend, xoxo,Susie
DeleteLots of decorating ideas and gorgeous Christmas decorations on display.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful store Horton's is, I too wish I lived close by :)
Enjoy your shopping time !

Jo, I just love going to Hortons and looking around before the actually show. Some times, I think , Oh I could make that...if it isn't real expensive I will buy things as gifts and that helps the seller also. I will show what I buy. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat all looks pretty to me. I have been wanting to go to a Christmas Bazaar event and can't find one around here
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it seem some times that the bazaars are all going on at once?? I like to go to the ones at church too. Horton's is for venders to come in and sell their wares...and I like some of the things if they are not over priced. :):) Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat was fun to see how everything old is new again. Looks like my kind of place!
ReplyDeleteVee, I just about laughed out loud when I saw the doll heads. I also saw an old drill brace that was decorated with ribbons and greenery and it was too sweet. I think I just love seeing how ingenious people can be. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteEverything you write about Horton's makes me like that place - and of course I've never been there. Glad it's close to you. What fun!
ReplyDeleteJudy, I am sure you would love the Hortons, they are just the sweetest family. I like to buy a few things to help keep them in business, if it does. I try to encourage others to shop there. You know even if it's not something we want ourselves , we can find a gift or two for others. But then again, who would not want something cute, or some homemade fudge, or a reminder of their youth. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteThat wreath is my hands down FAVORITE!!! I bet your Ted would make you one!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I showed that to Ted and he said he could make me one for the porch. LOL. I'll post a picture if he does. Blessings, love , Susie
DeleteThose doll head vases crack me up! I really like the ornament with sheet music on it. I've noticed a lot of polka dots this last couple of months.
ReplyDeleteNonnie, I thought those doll heads were funny but clever. It's so fun to see how others think. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh! I would love Christmas at Horton's! Enjoy the open house! xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteNellie, I think about how you would love to go thru Hortons. I told Mrs. Horton you would be there if ever you come thru Tipton. :):) Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie, I have enjoyed catching up with you tonight. You always show so many cute ideas from Horton;s. It will be Christmas before we are ready for it that is for sure. Have a wonderful day. Hug and Prayers from Your Missouri Friend Shirley
ReplyDeleteShirley, I heard the news lady say 48 more shopping days till Christmas..well we know how fast that will go. I am going with my oldest daughter. I'll post about what we buy. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteMy kind of place, Susie! Have fun tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI am picking up my oldest daughter . So it's always fun with my girls. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

Debbie, When I saw the doll head, I almost laughed out loud...but it was still kind of cute. I didn't buy much..want to go back this week when it's not so crowded. Blessings, love to you dear friend, Susie
DeleteSo much wonderful stuff, Susie. Wish I was going. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, I wish I could load up a bus load of my blog pals and drive to Hortons and many other fun junking places. LOL. I am going back thru the week when it's not as crowded. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteHi Susie, I love all these pretty ideas. I envy folks who are so creative! Hope you have a wonderful time at the open house. It's been many months since I've blogged, but I do have a new post up. Have a lovely rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Mildred, I have missed you...I have always liked seeing your blog. I like seeing your cats.:) I hope you are doing well. Bless you, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI always love your pictures of Hortons! I sure wish I lived close enough to see it in person myself. One of these days on my way through to Indianapolis I am going to contact you and meet you there in person! We will laugh up a storm. xo Diana

Kris, Some times those old ladders just make the best way to display things...make me want to have ted make me some old branch ladders. I should tell him I want one for my b-day.LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie,
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas here!! I love seeing how different shops decorate for Christmas!!
