'Tis the night before Christmas, everyone, and to thank you for inviting us into your homes, and your hearts, here's a holiday arrangement especially for you!
In an antique milk glass compote, I chose a sweet bouquet of white roses, Italian carnations and variegated boxwood, all from the deli right around the corner from our apartment. For even more of an elegant holiday feel, I added miniature glass globe ornaments in a frosted silvery gray I thought would be perfect on your dining table, sideboard or even on the table in your front hall. Enjoy your flowers, everyone! Jaithan and I will be back on Tuesday, December 30th with a simple, sophisticated New Year's cocktail idea you'll love! Until then, have a happy holiday, and thank you!
Thanks so much for the flowers..they are beautiful.. looking forward to visiting more in 2009 hugs ~lynne~

So I guess I can be expecting a milk glass compote from UPS sometime soon?:) No? Oh well, such a pretty picture!
Hope you had a very blessed Christmas and wishing you a very Happy New Year!

These flowers are beautiful -- and they have lasted so perfectly! They remind me of puffs of fresh snow.
Hope you are both enjoying a wonderful holiday and doing lots of fun things with people you love!
Hurry back....miss you!

Thanks for the lovely Christmas bouquet, Eddie. What talent you have! One quick question for you: How can you tell if an item is milk glass? Is any white glass vase etc... considered milk glass? Maybe I should Google this instead of pestering you. Eh?

My mother-in-law, 'The Queen Vee,' told me I must come visit your blog. I'm instantly addicted! She thinks your fabulous and now, so do I. That wire hanger wreath, lovely AND do-able! Now I know what to do with all the vintage glass balls that won't fit on my tree. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us readers in the new year!
