Show and Tell Monday

Now that the weather is cooler and the air is crisp I've been thinking about the upcoming holidays. This week I worked on an old wooden tray that I've had for awhile and wasn't quite sure what I would do with. Now it is all dressed up for Christmas and ready to list at Cozy Cottage and Patchouli Rose Designs. My pictures are a little dark but I'll take more later on this week. Here is a sneak peak...........

I also have a new clipboard started......I used a vintage Christmas card to set the theme. It is a work in progress and will have much more embellishment when I am finished.

Have a wonderful week and remember it is only a little over two months until Christmas!

Show and Tell Monday......and a recipe, too!

This week I've been busy bringing Christmas to Cozy Cottage....both online and the brick and mortar shop. I set up a pretty display of Candylights from Jorabeel's....












I also set up this pretty white fiber-optic tree and added silk overblown roses. I'll post a better picture when I can take one after dark so the sun isn't coming through that window behind it.









And here are a couple of new items I will be adding to the Cozy Cottage website this evening.


First is a beautiful milkglass fruit bowl made by Indiana Glass. It is holding some lovely pale aqua and cream color almost-vintage glass ornaments. The bowl and ornaments will be available as a set. Of course, the bowl would be absolutely stunning on the Christmas dinner table!


.....and this adorable truly vintage paper and angel hair tree-topper which was a truly lucky find at an estate sale just a few weeks ago. She really needs a new home and would be so lovely gracing the top of someone's Christmas tree this year!

And now, let me end this post with a recipe....quick and easy and oh-so-yummy!
