Wishing each of you a very Blessed Christmas!
I'm sharing some photos from around my house.
First a beautiful floral arrangement from a dear friend in Alabama.
The central ornament has a family of Christmas carolers.
I'll be saving that treasure to reuse again & again.
This little pink feather angel is almost 50 years old!!!
I bought it at a school bazaar for my Mother.
She always had it on the top of her piano, flanking the nativity set.
My daughter brought me this DARLING little tree for my kitchen this year!!
It is filled with some of the cutest kitchen utensils I have ever seen!
A copper sauce pan...
An ornament depicting a package of spaghetti...Ms. C's favorite!
A red glitter handled whisk...
A beautiful copper collander...
There are several red glittered rolling pins throughout the tree.
A precious potato masher!!
What a fun focal point it has added to my festive kitchen!
The fireplace mantel is always done in gold, with angels...gifts from my sweet husband
when we lived in FL. There was a local store that featured a different one each year.
I pray the Spirit of Christmas will light up your life & burn brightly for you all year long!
Don't eat too many Christmas cookies!!!
Merry Christmas, Rett!

ReplyDeleteYes, of course we cry for ourselves...never for the departed one. I know Bill is much better off...it's my missing him and knowing he isn't coming back that makes me cry...all the memories right now make me cry. I know, that in time, those same memories wiil be the glue that holds me together.
