Hello everyone,
Wow~I have been on a blogging break, and I didn't even plan it.
I posted my Thanksgiving tea and then our Holiday Bazaar at
Church was the following Saturday. The next Thursday was
Thanksgiving and sweetheart, and I traveled to our son's
home to enjoy a wonderful holiday with our
granddaughters and family. We had a sleepover, and
I didn't have to cook. Yay!!!
Before we went on our little holiday, I invited my two granddaughters
that live near us to help decorate this little tree in the kitchen.
One granddaughter worked on the nutcracker tree, and
the other granddaughter worked on the mantel and banner
in the living room. It was incredible to have assistance with the
decorations, and they gave me a jump start to decorating for the holidays.

When we came home from our trip, I began to work on
the big tree in the living room, and I will share that tree and
mantel next week.
My Tartan tea cup and saucer is
Tartan by Royal Doulton
I have collected Nutcrackers for years. I wanted to feature my
Tartan tea cup and saucer with my collection of nutcrackers.
We have a fireplace in the center of our home. The fireplace is
in the living room, but the brick back is in the dining room.
I have a large storage chest against the back side and it
is filled with table linens. The storage unit is a great place
to display many collections during the year.

to display many collections during the year.
On the other wall in the dining room is a buffet. More nutcrackers are
displayed on the top. I have a rooster collection and the menu
on the wall is from the 'French Laundry' in Napa Valley.
I saved the clothes pin they use as a napkin ring.
This buffet is where I have fresh fruit and covered cake plates
displayed during the year.
When I travel, I usually find a tea towel to bring home.
I found this Nutcracker tea towel and I knew I would
display this towel during the holiday.
I found the small nutcrackers at the Dollar Tree.
A mosaic to pin
So glad you came for a visit.
Joyously,
Betty

It's all beautiful, Betty. I love seeing your Nutcrackers, and the tartan and silver make excellent partners with the Nutcrackers. I wanted to pin the mosaic, but the link didn't work for me. It just gave me a blank screen.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays!
Hi Sarah,
DeleteI just removed the pin it button. There is a save pin in the left corner. I hope it works. Thanks for visiting.
