for the past, courage for the present,
hope for the future. It is a fervent wish
that every cup may overflow with
blessings rich and eternal, and that
every path may lead to peace."
~Agnes M. Pahro
This time of year can go by so quickly because there is so much to do and think about. The first week of December is already almost over! This is why in my house we decorate early so that every ornament, bauble, and ribbon can be enjoyed to the utmost. Every year my Mother manages to create something new and extraordinarily beautiful from some small discovery we make in the array of Christmas decorations available everywhere. This year we found balls wound in pearls and then we used some of the fabulous french trims we have been collecting over the past few months and some gorgeous ribbonwork roses from Meadowstreet and Lambs and Ivy Designs to make the most beautiful ornaments I have ever seen! I actually had to give in and let my Mum have one of her Christmas presents early - a little ribbonwork brooch from Lambs and Ivy that was perfect for this project (See pics 6, 13,14 etc). Of course she was thrilled! (Thankyou Dana!) Decorating with my Mum is one of my favorite things about Christmas. Nobody can make a home as soft and beautiful as my Mum. I hope you are enjoying decorating for Christmas too!

Hi, Jennelise! How are you? I haven't blogged here for a long time. Lovely to return and be reminded of your delicious confections for the eye. I've scrolled thru the archives as far back as "Pink Glass" and will eventually catch up. Your holiday ornaments are sumptuously beautiful; I love the webby pearl strings, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post. Do you know the name of your pretty vintage china with the gold edges and roses? I love it! Love the little cake stand too.
ReplyDeleteSoooo beautiful! I agree nobody does "pretty and soft" better than your mum! *winks* Vanna
