Weekend Glimpses


Santa (ca. 1950s) and a new piece of raku pottery . . . 



Bell made by DH's grandmother and a spalted oak vase made by DH . . . 



Needlepoint bell pull made by yours truly (ca. 1970s) . . .



Nutcrackers from my mother, Germany, England, and elsewhere
along with the white C9 bulbs rescued when we switched to LED lights . . . 




Dining room chandelier with personalized ornaments from
our days near Frankenmuth, MI (and Bronners) . . . 




Vintage and reproduction ornaments on the sunroom tree . . .

This is a season full of mystery, magic & memories . . .

Merry Christmas, my friend, this is almost as good as an in-person visit.

All so lovely! And I love the merging of the old and the new...I just wrote about that, as a matter of great minds living alike ;)
