I adore a well dressed Christmas tabletop. This post is full of Traditional Tabletop Ideas. Traditional Tabletop Ideas I imagine that people have been dressing their tables for this festive occasion for centuries. This Victorian era table made me smile.

Wow! Nie Nie has brought an early Christmas to me
Do you read the Nie Nie Dialogues? I do. Stephanie Nielson is an inspiration to me. A few weeks ago she announced she was looking for handmade goodies to feature on her blog this week.

Finding Christmas
It was difficult Finding Christmas this year. I didn’t put up one scarecrow at Halloween. My pair of well-worn pilgrims were not anywhere in our home at Thanksgiving. This is unusual for me.
