~Christmas Spirit~

'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.

  18. A 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.
