'Tis The Season.
Welcome everyone, I'm in the spirit of decorating. With Thanksgiving Day a week early this year, the extra week is going to be awesome.
A sign of the Holiday and Winter approaching is when my 'Yuletide' Camellia blooms...
The painted white wicker tray is handy to hold my Pink Transferware mug and a dessert plate for some Christmas cookies I will soon be baking.
Another sign is my angel carrying a candle to light the way thru the Holiday season.
A sturdy mug and a little bit of french flair~
The small, single, bright red flower with dark leaves is so delightful to see on a cold and gloomy day in November.
A crystal napkin ring to hold the red toile napkin... And the delicate linen tea towel has a such beautiful detail work.
Another sign...
Paperwhites
I must admit-This is the very first time I have ever forced
Paperwhites. I'm now hooked! Hopefully, I will be able to force paperwhites for many years to come.
I was inspired to grow the paperwhites when I saw this garden bucket at TM. The french Fleur-de-lis on the bucket caught my eye instantly. The word Fleur in French means Flower. Oh! That's why the design was painted on the garden bucket. Da... I'm always learning something.
A candle snuffer to extinguish the candle at evening's end
A cup of tea and a sugar cookie or two will start my creative juices flowing. I love to create and this time of year is my most creative time. Gifts to buy, bazaar items to make, and lots of cookies and goodies to bake.
Thank you for visiting and hope you come back soon.
I will visiting some creative friends this week. Please join me.

Hi Betty, Your camellia blossom is gorgeous! It reminds me of a peony. Your vignette is truly lovely. I'd enjoy taking tea with you, and sharing some of your Christmas goodies!

You have a lovely table setting - I've always wanted to do the paper white flowers but just haven't, yours is beautiful.

hi Betty!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely wonderful post! I enjoyed every sweet detail. Your transferware and toile are eye poppingly gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful post! The camellia blossom is gorgeous and I love the red and white china. I potted my paperwhites today so I hope they will bloom by Christmas. Have a great week! Pamela
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love your post!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty table setting! I think we are going to enjoy this extra week between Thanksgiving and Christmas a lot!
ReplyDeleteI love the red mug and toile napkin. Very pretty. Enjoy preparing for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteA lovely red and white tea table, the flower is stunning. Paperwhites are easy to start, you should try a hyacinth bulb too as their fragrance is nice.
ReplyDeleteOh, Betty, you had me with the red transferware and toile napkin! They are so pretty and perfect for the season. Your camelia is gorgeous and I love the fleur de lis on the bucket of paperwhites! Beautiful post and thank you for sharing with Tea Time. I hope you have a lovely week.

Am a fan of your transferware and the tea towel is gorgeous. And yay for flowers and bulbs! Enjoy your awesome week!

Your camellia is gorgeous and you'll have paperwhites soon. I love forcing the "holiday" bulbs. Your pink willow is lovely and really goes well with all the holiday decorations. Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful. I adore angels and your angelic beauty is really very pretty. Love the red and white china~
ReplyDeleteLove your bright red Camillia bloom with your pink willow! So festive! I love paperwhites also and have a few this year but I'm thinking of getting more. It's so fun to see them grow!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!
