48th - Tablescape - A Staffordshire "Yuletide"

Merry Christmas to All!  With Christmas just a few days away had to get out the "Yuletide" china for a tablsescape!  Hope you enjoy!

This china set I almost passed on at the loval Hospice Thrift store - went back 3 times - talked myself out of it twice.  It was marked $10 for the set - when I got to the counter she said - 1/2 off households today - $5...so glad I couldn't talk myself out of it the third time...

 This silver set is pure silver - haven't been able to find out the pattern but I purchased it at a garage sale about a month ago for $5 - the entire set in the original box.  It was really tarnished but nothing a little elbow grease couldn't clean up.

 Now the candles are lit!

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS - (no "Happy Holidays" here). We know that Jesus is the reason for the season and Christ's birth gives us all life!  Merry Christmas and Thank you, Jesus!
