Copper~n~Things: Silent Night

Welcome

Welcome to our old farmhouse. Over the past year I have learned so much history of this house and the people who lived here. Ninety six years of love, loss, hopes and dreams. Preservation continues and there is always a repair to be done. We are trying to be purest in our preservation as much as we possibly can. I hope you follow along and each week I will try to give you a little history of the house as well as the first owners of the house. I've been lucky enough to find a journal from a Granddaughter who talks about the house as well as her Grandparents. So come follow along and learn about this old house as well as the occupants, old and new.

Silent Night

Thanks to Felicia at Playing With Dishes for hosting this

CIJ party. Please be sure to visit Felicia and all the other

participants who are joining this party for some great

ideals.

Do you remember that time at the Holidays when you

just need a little alone time? This table scape represents

time. You still have the Christmas cards to sign and

maybe a gift or two to wrap.

The Christmas cards are ready to sign.

The last gift is wrapped.

Now for some me time.

A nice cup of hot coffee, the plate is Anchor Hocking,

I used a white charger under it. The place mat is also

gold just doesn't show well in the picture.

A gold ribbon as a napkin ring.

Gold silverware.

Small gold dish is Fire King.

Don't forget a little desert, always the best part of the meal. I hope you enjoyed our mini tablescape of Christmas in July.

Please don't forget to leave a message or a comment. I will

see everyone Monday.

Bill said...: I like the nice warm colors you selected. The theme is impressive as well -- with your thoughts of getting the cards sent, gifts wrapped, etc. I'm most impressed with the chocolate goodie on the plate! Looking at it makes my taste buds wanna dance!!!
