The trees are trimmed
The Christmas tree lights are all working!
Vintage decorations bring back happy memories of Christmases past.
Cards from near and far bring greetings from family and friends
The china children have their carts loaded with festive greenery
My little fairy (who is as old as me) is working her magic
'Tis sweet when Christmastime is here
To call to mind companions dear
There's gladness in remembrance.
Have a Very Happy Christmas
Dear Eli,
I always look forward to your delightful posts! Your tree is beautiful and I love your vintage decorations! I love the china children's carts loaded with greenery. The fairy is so sweet and I love the quote! A very Happy Christmas to you sweet Eli!
Love, Paula

Hi Eli, what a beautiful tree and lovely decorations and that dear little fairy how wonderful to still have her to bring out every Christmas. The festive foliage in the china is perfect and the front lamp from your previous post is gorgeous so very welcoming I would love something like that. Our front porches are yet to be done so I might show yours to my Mr. and hint(nag) just a little!!!! in the new year.
The tray is a lovely thing to have made, such a sad and tragic event at that time though.
I would like to take this oportunity to wish you and your Mr a very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year.
My very best wishes Jan x
