The dining room is decked out for Christmas. This is a print of a "parts of speech" page from an early English lesson book. It's perfect for the season in it's red velvet lined frame.
The little print is nestled among the pines and berries inside an English barrister's wig case.
My barrister doesn't have a wig, but if he ever decides to get one he'll be good to go when it comes to traveling.
This is the top of the case...a bit battered...the black, red and gold colors are still very vibrant.
Perhaps the barrister wore a beaver hat like this one. It rests upon an old leather bible on the sideboard.
Lots of green and red this year!
Here are a few shots taken in the living room. Love this little Norma Schneeman snowman...he's so happy!
When I saw this early sampler I immediately thought of Christmas. I wonder if the maker...Amy Selby...made this as a gift for someone. That has to be a Christmas tree in the corner!
And the sweet words are perfect for Christmas!
Last year's version was "short & stout"...this year our tree is long and lean and smells divine!
Hope you all are having a wonderful December so far!
Enjoy the day,
Robyn
Your decorating is perfection! Gorgeous! Where do you keep your precious treasures when they aren't out on show? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteMorning, Margaret...We have a big attic so most of it goes in those red and green bins and goes up there. I also have a wall of closets in my laundry room and storage in the cabinets on the bottom of my book shelves. Lately, I have been weeding out lots and donating it. The Salvation Army and Vets send trucks to our neighborhood every few weeks and I...and my .
ReplyDeleteneighbors...leave items in boxes in the driveway and they pick them up. Thanks for visiting

So pretty !!!
ReplyDeleteLove your decorating ... It's all so festive with the green and red.
ReplyDeleteWe are sorting out and trying to down size too, not an easy task... Kids get first choice, what is left goes to 'St. John of God' Thrift store.
Peace and Blessings

Your dining room looks so timely and beautiful. Of all the years my husband and I have collected antiques...I don't think we have ever seen a wig case such as yours. It is a beauty. I love it how you have it on your table. You are very creative. I enjoy your blog.
