~NO SNOW...~

Do you? 

It's cold and dry here...but the weather is not what we are celebrating...

A dear old man in Temecula California made this shelf for me..the two don't go together but it doesn't matter.  I love both pieces..so...they do go together.  

You know?

 The family room is full to the brim now with Christmas.  

T'was fun!

 The Brambly Hedge tea set was a gift from my daughter Mary.  She gave me a little at a time.

She was working her first job at the time..and worked hard.  They mean a lot to me.

Guess who's name is on the bottom?  :)

What they gave me will go back to them.

The tea cup tree.

Pay NO attention to the tree.. was still working on it..took me forever to get all the decorations on it.

60 years of collecting..bulbs from the 1950's.  I seldom throw anything away.  (You probably already guessed that :)   I pass them on.

My collection of eggs are finally gone.  The girls have them.  We used to get together the on Easter and decorate eggs for Christmas.. all year we collected old jewelry, cut out figures of old Christmas cards..it was fun.

We don't do that anymore.  

We keep saying we are going to, but we never do.  

One of those things that pass with time.   

You know how it is, don't you?  

I do.

Peace~
