A Christmas Teaser

I have had a busy week.
Decorating.
Birthdaying.
Getting ready for guests.
So...
What did my son and I get done?
He toted and carried and
I decorated.
Here is just a quick
peek until I can get 
my pictures taken and
processed.
The kitchen counter
sports this....
A Pfalzgraf soup tureen
that I have had for years.
These were taken at night
so the light comes solely
from the candle lamp.
Don't ya love it?
I do! 
I do love it!
I love it so much I want to 
marry it.
But I can't....
because somebody won't let me....
Ah-yes-there he is now...
MyHero
waiting for me in bed with his
Captain's hat on.
Be still my heart~

So funny....love your decor so far. It gets contagious, once you begin you cannot stop! Happy holidays!

Is this the first pic we are seeing of MyHero? Very handsome! For night or gloomy days, I set my ISO at 400 and it works for me. What a cute idea using the tureen in your decor...it really looks pretty. I need one of my sons (or both) to carry up my Christmas things, too. Two flights of stairs and the bins are heavy. I guess I should pack up fall first! ;-D

XO,
Jane

Beautiful décor. Don't you just love it when everything is all aglow with Christmas décor. It's my favorite time of year. And once it's over - can we just fast forward to pool season?

Love your candle lit photos, Diana! And I love soup, too! I'm making baked potato soup for lunch today, come on over! Yum! Does your Hero's head get cold or what? Maybe you need to knit him a night cap:)

Your soup tureen is special Diana, and the candle light makes the pictures look so pretty. I love treasured items from long ago. Sometimes the old things are the best things. I have a few of them myself.

Love the tureen and your pictures are beautiful. So glad you had good help.
There is only one other person on earth from whom I have heard that phrase "I would marry it". That is my oldest daughter. She always says that about things that she really loves or likes. So cool, sweet friend.
Blessings,

Janet said...

Take care my friend, Janet W ((hugs))
