Christmas 2000
"I am in a holiday humor."
~ WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
These white lights are the closest things to "icicles"we're going to see this Christmas in South Carolina.
Christmas in the living room. Won't you stay for a cup of Christmas tea?I'll build a roaring fire, and put on some beautiful Christmas music.The quotation painted on the wall above the fireplace reads,"Love is Heaven and Heaven is Love." It is from a poem by Sir Walter Scott.
The white "berries" you see are from the Chinese Tallow tree.In the South it's known as "popcorn."I re-use it year after year.
This wreath is made with eucalyptus, pinecones, pheasant feathers,dried berries and flowers.
I don't need to put out many Christmas decorations sincethe wallpaper in my dining room is red and the woodwork is green.
Hanging from the small chandelier above the table is a dried artichoke.Looking through the window, you can see the twinkling "icicle" lights hanging outside.
What would Christmas be without Santa Claus?!The picture on the post is me and Santa,taken when I was five or six years old.
Engraved sterling mint julep cup which holds my collectionof souvenir spoons, the ones I like to use at tea time.The plate is from my Christmas china, "Holiday," by Lenox.
