SMALL CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS, et al

 

Here's my "little" Christmas 
montage right by my recliner
in our tv room...

This gorgeous lavender plant
was gifted to me at 
Thanksgiving by my
DIL, Lindsay,
pictured on the left 
below with my daughter on the right.

[!!ITS SCENT IS WONDERFUL!!]

My beautiful "girls"...;))))
๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’•

Every day, I drink my 
Yorkshire Gold Tea
[my favorite of all]
in this lovely Pfaltzgraff 
Christmas cup
during December:

So pretty!!! ;)))))

And
Look what I found at the
grocery store this morning:
↧↧↧↧
Aren't these adorable cookie plates???
[or in my case they will hold
the  fudge I make
each year...๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜]
{Plus, they were a "Two-fer"}

My Amaryllis is looking hopeful....
more green showing....
fingers crossed....๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

I am not doing much of anything in 
crafting these busy days.
But....
 I feel so much better
today--hoping my cold 
has 
finally
ended.

  2. Such a cheerful post. Loved seeing your "girls". What would we do without family? Cute plates and good buy. Your amaryllis is sure trying hard to come out of hibernation. The green part is feeding the roots so I hope it will survive.

  3. Everything looks so pretty! Your ''girls'' are lovely. And adorable tiny tree. Plates too. Good to see you're being festive and that the wicked cold has gone away.
    Today I will do a few Christmas cards--mostly for older people who do not do internet or phones. My uncle will be 99 this winter. Wow.

    love

  4. Your Christmas display is pretty and bonus that it smells nice as well. Your girls are beautiful! Doesn't everything taste better in a holiday mugs? Fingers crossed for your amaryllis. Glad you are feeling a bit better.

  5. I've seen those little trees at the grocery store but haven't paid attention to the scent. Now I will!
    I got rid of our Christmas mugs because the Keiurig always overflowed them. Have yet to find new ones that will hold enough that I like.
    Must admit, although the plates are cute, I have always hated nutcrackers. As I child I was terrified of their big teeth and I guess that has carried over to adulthood.

  6. I never thought about growing a lavender plant inside.
    I'm glad you are feeling better and hopefully the cold will just be a memory soon.

  7. These little treasures really brighten our holidays, don't they? Glad that you're feeling better now. I hope the intense cold and wind we've had today doesn't head your way. Thankfully we're southeast of the intense lake-effect snow bands and only have a light dusting this time-so far.
