A FEW MERRY CHRISTMAS ITEMS


These are just a few little Christmas items I love
and thought you may love them too.
This little plate is from Target!
Too, too cute for perhaps "Cookies for Santa!"


Are you a "napkin" fanatic like I am?
I find most of my paper napkins on Amazon!
Loved these!


Napkins from Amazon.
Appetizer plates from Target.


I thought these would marry very well
with our wedding formal Lenox china
which I am using for Christmas dinner this year.


My favorite place for 
Christmas tins is The Container Store!


These will be filled with holiday candy
and
homemade cookies for Christmas Eve.


I ordered this beautiful everyday china
for Christmas on the Farmhouse table, 
from Amazon.
I am going to let one of the couples take this home
with them after the holiday!


It is a place setting for four, which is perfect
for informal meals.
The scene is old-fashioned winter...
much like Currier and Ives.
The pattern is Gibson Home Christmas Toile.


These two happy, yet melting snowmen
are from the Valarie Par Hill collection!


How about adding some champagne sparkle
to old candles!


We had two good days!
Her last seizure was a 5:30 AM Sunday morning.
She had her first dose of Di Tan Tang,
a Chinese herbal supplement Sunday night.
Each hour that passes with no seizure is a positive sign.
I spoke to her Vet. Monday AM
and we are being referred to a
Animal Neurologist in Lewisville.
Right now....we are golden....
at peace in the warmth of the sun.

I cannot begin to thank you all
for the prayers and knowledge and encouragement
you have shared with us regarding our Mae girl.
We are indeed blessed and grateful for each of you!
Merry, Merry Christmas

  1. I love that plate from Target! I've been smiling a lot seeing all these vintage type cars and trucks this year. Love those melting snowmen- how cute! I like those dishes you ordered- how lucky will someone be that gets to take them home! Sorry about your sweet kitty having seizures. We went through that with a cat once and it was heartbreaking. Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

    1. Hi Jenn. Our Vet. consulted with the Neurologist about her seizures, and they added this Chinese herb. All I can say is that she has not had a seizure since her first dose. Her appt is Dec. 28, so we still have no idea of the cause. Wishing you a lovely day!

  10. ...sigh....your posts always make my heart warm with a fuzzy glow! I haven't been able to do hardly any "fun" decorating this year so coming to see your goodies and vignettes make me feel very good. I LOVE the dishes you got from amazon. Oh My....I must have some. And I wanna know how the bad the fight will be between those kids to see who goes home with them!!!!! hahahahaha....what fun that will be!
    And I wish you could see my napkin drawer......no lie. I could supply all my friends with cocktail napkins. But nah.....I keep them all for myself. Pitiful!!
