Rubbermaid Containers & Chandeliers?

When orders are finished I put them in one of those huge Rubbermaid containers to ensure that little hands don't come along and touch them. I know Christmas season has begun when I have to break out Rubbermaid container #2! Yesterday it officially began. Rubbermaid container #2 made it's yearly debut. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas over here despite the pumpkins!
One day last week I came home to 6 huge boxes on my front porch. I ripped them all open...

and started sorting plates and platters and trays. Aren't they beautiful! The second shipment is set to arrive later this week so don't panic if I haven't emailed you yet.

I'm throwing the next two pictures in mainly to show you what The Baker (who broke out his chocolate chip pumpkin muffins today) calls the "most expensive chandelier ever!" When we were looking for houses I knew we had to buy this one as soon as I opened the front door and saw this chandelier hanging in the dining room. I instantly fell in love with it. It's so fabulous I can't stand it. It's my favorite part of this old house. There is a matching baby one in the entry way and matching sconces by the stairs. So...we bought a house based on the antique light fixtures. Who does that? I do.

Pictures don't do it justice...it's like jewelry for your ceiling!!
