Random, the Christmas Edition

Hi there... its just me again.

Showing you a few festive things I have scattered about... like this old ornament I recently found. A pink flower with a giant beetle on it. Those Victorians sure had interesting taste.

I like to scoop up old silver-plate compotes when I find them at the thrift store. Stacked together, they resemble a shiny fountain, long gone dry, but with lovely patina.

This charming old postcard was sent to my Great-Grandparents in 1913. The woman who sent it wrote all in Danish, and has the most beautiful penmanship.

My cozy living room with its tiny tree.

A Victorian cookie tin, silver-plate platter and footed oil lamp.

An old and tattered sampler done all in red and green.

Appliqued angel announcing the birth of the Savior of the world.

Old mirror, concrete pheasant, pewter plate, swift.

Frog tree.
