Flowers, Paper and Real

 


 Youngest son's partner makes amazing crafts and she made this for me. It looks like a bouquet of paper flowers, and it is, but it's also a calendar. ( It comes in a "vase" but I forgot to take a picture of that part).   Each month has one bloom or leaf on it.


 


 

Real flowers grace the table for Christmas. 


 

 I will try to do another post before Christmas but just in case I don't I wish you all a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.  Thank you for all the kind comments  this past year.
