Starting a Teeny Tiny Bit of Decorating for Christmas



November is kind of the lull-before-the-frenzy month.

 At the supermarket, I pick up ingredients ahead of time that will be used in some dishes and in baking for the holidays.



 It's  not as rushed now as it will be in a few weeks.

 In the dining room, I dusted and rearranged the shelves of a small curio cabinet. 


 Crystal anything appeals to me greatly.

 A Holy Family "sculpture" flanked by angels is on one of the shelves.



See the wingspan of one of the replicas of heavenly visitors.


Love the transparency of crystal and crystal look-alikes.

To me, they are so stunning to look at.

ARE YOU A FAN OF CRYSTAL OBJECTS OR DO YOU PREFER SIMPLER DECOR?

    My mother had a curio cabinet full of crystal bells that she collected for most of her life. When she died, all the grandkids arm-wrestled for her pieces :)
    I love crystal.

    I have a few crystal things that belonged to Mom but nothing like your collection. Looks amazing.

    I love crystal and have many beautiful pieces that I picked up for a song at garage sales. It seems young people do not appreciate Crystal and let it go. Your pieces are beautiful !

    Wow! I am a huge crystal fan and used to have crystal angels on my tree. Now I have a different tree and they don't "go with" as well, but they are still lovely.

    I saw a pair of crystal angels at a thrift shop, and now I am sorry I passed them by. Your crystal is pretty.

    Oh how sparkly and beautiful! I have a favorite crystal little Christmas tree that was given to me on the death of my brother and I just love it. I do a mix of all sorts of decor. :) Kit
