THE CHRISTMAS FINALE

 



Tis the season...for baking and gift wrapping.....
This will be my last post for the season as
my attention is now focused on preparing for
our Christmas Eve gathering....the weather
turned cold today but a warm up is coming
for Christmas day.....



I love the layered look on my grandparent's Windsor chair...



This is my thrifted vintage little choir boy set....
my inspiration for the piano this year...



And the new blue nativity...perfect for the color story....



And leave it to Walmart for bringing us lovely candles this year


This one wins first prize....it's marvelous



Beautiful design and such a lovely scent....




The Twelve Days of Christmas Folk Art wreath....



I love the tree at five o'clock n the morning...



Our Nativity ornament



Martha was first on the tree....



Today, I am decorating the gust bedrooms...and making
my shopping list for the grocery...



I tried a QUESO dip that I saw on Instagram....



It was good but did not make the cut for Christmas Eve....



I also made a new recipe for Buttermilk pie.....



And sugar cookies from the Pillsbury dough



I am serving all new appetizers this year and am really
looking forward to this....now I must prepare
all the serving dishes to go with the recipes....
it's going to be a busy week ahead....



Wishing you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS....

  4. I’m new to your blog. What drew me first was a recipe on Pinterest for a breakfast/brunch casserole. Second your love for home and holidays, especially Christmas. I was wondering do you share any other recipes on here, if so how do I get to them. I love what I’ve enjoyed so far your flair for vintage. Thanks and God bless you this Christmas and New Year!
