The hubby has been sneaking onto CW looking for gift ideas for me. Clever man! I was shocked to open a gift containing missing sized Festivo candle sticks including that elusive 8 right one! I was so surprised.
I used them all for the centerpiece at one of our Christmas dinner tables. (we invite everyone who has no where to go, this year was smaller at 25 people)
I also included a picture of the bar, as we are getting ready. Yes, those brown boxes contain wine. No we did not drink it all, a large portion went down to the cellar. But you can see where I have put some of the pieces I have posted previously.
I also included a picture of my other gift...Metlox Tropicanna pineapple vase. I found one of those two years ago, but it got broken and reglued. Apparently my lovely has been searching for a replacement since then. However I like the two of them together so much, will probably keep them both!
Happy New Year!!
Scandinavian Art GlassIt isn’t easy to pin down Scandinavian art glass. Like the people of the re…
Thank you Mani and Tony!
Fabulous! I'm so glad he found what you wanted. It looks great and that pineapple vase is amazing. Metlox is not to be seen Down Under! Have a great countdown to the NYE!
stunning sweetheart , love love love:) i love Metlox , i myself have 2 bowls by Metlox :) stunning Amberrose:)
Metlox Tropicanna is not easy to find here either. It took him almost two years to find it. I am not a big fan of other designs that they have and have passed on some that I have ran into.
Thanks for the compliments V! He did a good job this year ; ))

GSOwl, I watched my kiddos like a hawk! Buffet came from an estate sale. I was on a walk and unexpectedly called the hubby to get over there with a checkbook. It was covered in old wax and he thought I was nutty.

Yes we have always had an open door policy at Christmas. The more the merrier!
Hubby excelled in presents this year for sure. He outdid me by far. I was all set for music equipment then he said he didn't want it! My mind then went blank. Poor thing.
