The wallet is so nice, and I really love your Christmas tea service! :heart:
Thank you, Hyacinth! I guess you might say I love Christmas like I love handbags. I have kind of a mish mash of Christmas dishes as I buy what I like.

My main service is this Nikko Christmas pattern on the far right. I have a set for 12. These are some of the extra serving pieces I’ve bought over time. The Portmeirion Holly & Ivy dish was a fun find. The red bowls I just bought at the grocery store!

The teapot is from Pier One. Sadly, it went out of business here in 2019. The lovely bowls and plates are Villeroy and Boch.

The reindeer bowls are from Crate and Barrel. I’ve inherited this pretty Royal Albert “Ivy Lea” china from an aunt. I have cups and saucers, too.

We’re still undecided about gathering with family for Christmas so we are using all the dishes right now just for everyday.

What a great collection, and everything goes together so perfectly! Even better than "my" Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles. ;) The teapot is my favorite but everything looks wonderful.

Have a lovely holiday!

I love that ivy pattern. I used to have wallpaper like that in the breakfast room in our other house.

ML, These are beautiful, and your home looks so inviting. I'd love to come over for tea! :) I like that you're enjoying the Christmas dishes all season!
 

I love this wallet! It gives me vintage vibes, especially in this colour.



Had my eye on this one for a while now. Couldn't resist at half price. Hard color to photograph but it's the Amazon green Andie shoulder bag. It's soooo soft :smile:

I’ve been eyeing this on the Coach website for ages, it’s a beautiful bag! It’s carefree and seems to have just enough room while still looking sleek. Great choice!

I would absolutely love to have you and all of our dear friends over for tea! Yesterday I made more shortbread (DS ate through one tin since being home) and a batch of eggnog cookies: I love an iced cookie. I’m also getting a pumpkin apple streusel cake ready for dessert. DS is baking apple pies. With a small group for Christmas dinner I decided not to make my traditional Tipsy Trifle (gotta love the sherry in it) so making a few smaller desserts instead.
