Love Comes Softly

Let all you do be done in LOVE
I Corinthians 16:14


You don't have to look far to see a miracle. 
What could be more supernatural than
 a caterpillar turning into a butterfly,
 an egg yolk into a chicken,
 an acorn into a mighty oak?



Ornate red butterflies flutter and lite on
the edge of a lamp, a dish, or the table
 to remind us that Valentine's Day
 is just around the corner!    
A few gift ideas are gathered for
a little inspiration: 
 Sparkling Glass Apothecary Jars
to fill with seasonal decorations and ornaments. 
 Six inch Girlfriends Cake Stand
is just the right size for your
 personal celebration with
your most intimate friends! 



Much more elaborate Red Mercury
 Glass Apothecary Jars,
 stately opulence for all of the RED Holidays:
Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, 4th of July
or all the Patriotic Holidays, and then
Christmas rolls around once a year again!



Grandmother's Candlewick cake pedestal
for her scrumptuous secret recipe!





Delicate gold frames for photos of
a very special someone!
Available insquare, rectangluar, and oval.
 


Select a dramatic Cloche Optic Glass Cover
for a spectacular display

of your special treasures or recipes.



Display or pour tea from our Classically Shaped White Porcelain Tea Pots and
Whimsical guest towels or lovely
 paper tea-cocktail napkins
 reminiscent of historical damasks and florals.





Table-top essentials!




A true friend warms you with her presence,
 trusts you with her secrets,
and remembers you in her prayers.


Graceful shape and beautiful top;
 I adore this Tea Pot!



There is no remedy for love but to love more...
Henry David Thoreau

 



Live Well
Laugh Often
Love Much

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.
Proverbs 1:22




Friendship Fairy shelf-sitter, swathed in
 feathery tulle delicately,
 dangles her legs from her
observation point on the table edge.

Step Into Christmas!


Step Into Christmas!

Welcome to my Christmas song
I'd like to thank you for the year
So I'm sending you this Christmas card
To say it's nice to have you here
I'd like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the turntable...
Oh step into Christmas with me

Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free


Take care in all you do next year
And keep smiling through the days
If we can help to entertain you
Oh we will find the ways
So Merry Christmas one and all
There's no place I'd rather be
Than asking you if you'd oblige by
Stepping into Christmas with me!

Oh step, step into Christmas
Oh, forever and ever
Yeah, come along with me!

Just in the "Nick" of Time!


Santa Tea Set for sweet little girls or boys!
Santa Platter and Teapot with
two cups and saucers.
We enjoyed Hot Chocolate in ours yesterday.
Perfect with sugar cookies!

Gift ideas for a little something extra!
Or maybe you're saving your shopping
for the thrill of Christmas Eve!
So, just incase you wanted to know, Santa...
He are a few things she has on her wish list:




Serve oneanother with love!
A be-ribboned  red polka dot cake stand and dessert server.
Anything red is ideal; we can use it for many holidays:
Christmas, Valentines, 4th of July
or any patriotic holiday and best of all birthdays!



Whimsical Holiday Platter with Christmas Candy Canes.
Nice generous size for lots of holiday goodies!



LoVe the TrEe ChIp and DiP!
Divided Christmas Tree Dish, large enough for
generous portions of dip and chips or crackers!
Notice the extra large Santa bowl and
snowman tealight holder, very cute!



She will love our snowman platter!
Just right to serve homemade goodies all through the holidays!



Or maybe she would like the Gift Package Platter.
Salt and pepper set in the most gorgeous shade of red; 
memo board, coasters, and spoon rest in
red, taupe, cream, and wheat.  She will love it!
Stained glass Christmas Tree spreader
is all wrapped and ready as a quick pick up gift.



Iron napkin/letter holder stuffed with holiday napkins;
notice the Fleur de Lis design!  Need I say more?
Matching Fleur de Lis Trivet available too!


And, a little more personal and for all ages!



FABULOUS metallic Totes and insulated Lunch Bags!
We can stick in a gift certificate for an after
Christmas monogram or fill it with goodies!



A GREAT little bag! 
Perfect tote:  It folds up to store and opens out
to a very generous bag to stash you goodies
when shopping, books, athletic gear,
music, or serves as a very durable overnight bag!
Again we can provide a gift certificate for
after Christmas monogramming!


Christmas Tree decorated NOEL scented candle is
so beautiful and peaceful!




Hark the Herald Angels Sing!
Glory to the newborn King!
Angel adorned Bayberry scented candle for the angel lover!

Specialty square 20 oz. candle in Natural Bayberry Scent
 for Bringing Health, Wealth, and Prosperity.
Bayberry Candle Lore:
"A Bayberry candle burnt to the socket
brings food to the table and gold to the pocket"




Fleur de Lis lovers Alert!
Extraordinary notecards: five design package or all five alike:
Black and Gold-Saints
Purple and Gold-LSU










Beautiful Gold Cross in two styles and petite ornate frames:
square, rectangle and oval.





Monogrammed Zebra and Giraffe Can Wraps for guys and gals!
Unique velcro closure so they will open and store flat,
then velcro closed around water bottle or cans!  Neat!
If we don't have your letter, you can order for after Christmas or
give the can wrap and a monogramming gift certifcate!



Giraffe/Camo pattern Monogramm in Hunter Orange for the guys
and hot pink or lime for the gals!





Just for fun: Long Fireplace Matches!



Last Minuite Goodies for the Party!





Dip mixes require a little work: mix sour cream and
mayonnaise with mix and serve!






Just add serving Dish and Chips for the Salsa!
Lemon and Cheese Straws just need to be arranged
on the platter (see above!)
and pour locally made salsa in a bowl!




***********************************************************************************

Remember! Tomorrow is Christmas Eve!
Santa likes Cookies and milk!
Wouldn't it be nice to have a plate and mug just for him?
