"An Early Christmas Gift -- Snowman Cookie Jar"
I received an early Christmas gift from my mother yesterday ... a "Snowman Cookie Jar" from Macy's Christmas 'Home for the Holidays' collection. Stop by for a homemade treat next holiday season ... he'll be dispensing cookies from his spot at the center of my kitchen table. I've got a few months to actually bake those goodies ... I'm dreaming of Peanut Butter Blossoms, Chocolate Chip, Italian, Sugar, and what-have-you cookies to fill his and your bellies!

"Fabulous Find -- Lenox Angel with Praying Hands -- Inspirational Collection"

A great discovery of a Lenox "Angel with Praying Hands" from the "Inspirational Collection" means there's a new member in the heavenly horde that fills a shelf in my guest room.
"Fabulous Find -- Lefton 'Holly' ('Candy Cane')
Image Credit: www.replacements.com
I discovered a few overlooked pieces of Lefton's "Holly" ("Candy Cane") Christmas settings while working at a charity garage sale this weekend. Several of the donated pieces had to be discarded because of chips, cracks, and other damage. It's a pleasure to have been able to save a few vintage pieces. (NOTE: You may know Lefton as the maker of one line of the vintage "Birthday Angels of the Month.")
"Miriam E. Waters ~~ "Calico Cat Bag"
This is my "Calico Cat Bag." I created it with remnants of rug yarn that came to me in a big jumble and lined it with a piece of Waverly fabric.
These are not colors I would have selected for a project, but they work together in an odd sort of way ... like the colors in a calico cat.
The body is worked in the "Moss Stitch."
