Once upon a Christmas Time Part Three

Here is a friend's house to share.  The spaces are gracious  and ample for large groups, but warm and inviting for our small collectors club also. Our hostess chose to set several small tables in her kitchen area for us to gather around and then let us wander and enjoy the treasures everywhere.  Discussion for the meeting was decorated boxes and some nice ones were shown.

This tree is decorated with old cotton fruit ornaments.

 

 

 

 

An informal arrangement on the piano brings it into the decorating theme nicely.  The hooked rug shown here is a taste of the fine collection of them.

 

 

 

There are many lovely portraits and beautiful old theorems all over the house.  

 

 

A precious old trundle peeks out from under.

 

 

 

 

The collection of old ornaments by itself would make a lovely post to study!

A nice touch on an old spoon to enjoy year round.  e
