I'm linking to some of the seasonal blog parties happening this week in blogland.
Thank you ladies one and all for hosting these wonderful parties.
Although our Christmas trees are not yet up I have played around with the mantles, and created other little vignettes around the house.
The Byers Choice Salvation Army Carolers are out, singing merrily, of course.
St Nicholas is due to visit tonight. so I decorated the dining table to make him feel at home. I'll make sure that the candles are lit in time for his appearance!
This is last years dining table with my white Bavarian Santa, as you can tell this is the image that I'm using for my header this month.
I've been struggling with the light exposure whilst taking these pix.
The ambient light means everything looks too dull, and the flash makes everything look cold, so bear with me, please!
Last years library mantlepiece was my blog header image for December 2009.
This year it has proved difficult to get the whole mantle in the shot without featuring in it myself.
The theme in the library is white, with silver & gold.
The red, gold and green tree will be continuing the theme in the dining room this year.
The dining room buffet, featuring The Old Curiosity Shop and Tutbury Printer from the Dickens Village Series by Dept.56, 1990.
Both cherished gifts from my Dad & Joyce (my stepmum).
I hope you have enjoyed the tour around the Presbytere and do come back soon, to see the trees, won't you and don't forget to be good....................
