No Christmas Decorating
No Christmas decorating going on here at Daisy Cottage - yet..
But some aqua tole tray love is going on!
And I love how the little flowers on the vintage hanky seem to imitate the painted flower on the tray - yep, just LOVE it when that happens! ;-)
Thank you ALL for your sweet comments about my family - and my Mom thanks you very much too! :-)



















That is a beautiful tray! I really love the cup and saucer too. It's so dainty.

Glad to hear I am not the only one who hasn't started decorating. I have to say, though, that I can't wait to see Daisy Cottage all decked out in holiday finery.

Love that tray. I am like Vanessa and can't wait to see Daisy Cottage all dressed up. No pressure but definitely can't wait.

I love the teacup and saucer. What is the pattern?
The colors of the tray, hanky, and cup and saucer remind me that we will all be looking forward to spring once winter is gone.

So pretty! I love the way you arrange things. That cup and saucer is just waiting for some good hot tea to be sipped from it.

No Christmas decorating going on here at the moment either. Since we are planning on being in Florida for the holidays I am debating as to what to do about holiday decorating. Love your cute tray and vintage hankie.

Gorgeous tray-really lovely photo! I took advantage of the strong boys at Thanksgiving, and had them bring the Christmas boxes down from the attic...but that's as far as I've gotten with the decorating!

I'm so with you on not decorating yet--although in my case it's because I'm way not ready. But that tole tray is GORGEOUS! I really need to get one. ebay here I come!
