PUTTING OUT CHRISTMAS





Part of the joy of the Holidays is pulling out the boxes and setting up the decor and I always look forward to decorating my home for all the different seasons and celebrations.  With Thanksgiving last week, it was a very busy week and blogging came to a halt but here are some photos of how things are happening at my house now.



With other activities finally behind us - we will be filling the air with spices and sweets as the Holiday baking begins.  I have been looking around for red berries and their seem to be few in Colorado.  Holly doesn't grow well here.



I found this pretty white "vase" a few weeks back at the flea markets.  Last week I found a darling English Currier and Ives plate that matches so well. It is called "The Snow Storm".  Our snow has melted down now but I am sure there will be more to come.

  1. Hello Bernideen,
    Your tea is so whimsical with all your cute angels! I love your white lady vase and C & I plate. And of course, I am always drawn to feather trees. OCR is perfect for this time of year too. Such a pretty post and thank you for hosting and also sharing it at Tea Time.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  21. Greetings, Bernideen!
    I love that Currier and Ives plate. LOVE it! I will have to seek that pattern out around these parts but I imagine it will be tough to find. It is, indeed, a treasure. Your hosting is much appreciated. Lots of FUN!

  22. Hi Bernideen, Your Currier and Ives plate is lovely. Of course, I love your Old Country Roses as well - one of my very favorite china patterns. I'm sure we'll be seeing (and wishing we could try) many great baked goods here on your blog this season!

  24. Beautiful! My house isn't quite ready to show, but getting ready.
    Then it will be tea time and there will be things to share. Love
    seeing what you have done.

  25. Beautiful decor, as always! I especially like seeing how you used your winter whites, as this year I am incorporating winter white and turquoise, mostly, for Christmas. My thought is that some of it can remain through the winter to give a "peaceful" and light-colored decor during those gray days!
