Checking It Twice


Christmas Watercolor GarlandChristmas Watercolor GarlandChristmas Watercolor Garland
It has been a very merry Christmas so far  and  time is surely closing in on us...  We were out today taking care of last minute business  and  hopefully from now on  it will  be  a  relaxed joyous time with just the two of us... we  celebrated Christmas with our children over Thanksgiving..  And I do plan some festivities  between  Christmas and New Years...  but  it will be a quiet contemplative Christmas and I am looking forward to it!!!
I really enjoyed  creating  my Christmas table this year.Nancy's Daily Dish posts on facebook really inspired me with all of her red transferware  photos, like this one !

So I  chose my Churchill red transferware and coupled it with Royal Stafford  Black Christmas pattern..all upon a black check table cloth!  I  think it looks  festive and  a bit country shabby!!!

 Other red transferware patterns are displayed throughout the room


 I love using battery operated  fairy lights on the table  along with  luminaire candles

They glow so beautifully as dusk overcomes the light of day
This year as I decorated the  small  seasonal tree in the archway,  I chose  ornaments hung with  black and white check bows and  red and white striped  ones...




 Merry Christmas, to one and all!!

Farewell

 After  17 years of   blogging  I am  pretty sad to  just fade  out  with  hardly  anyone showing any   farewell,  concern  about my  surger...
