Vintage Dom 1973

     
 Hello!  Greetings from snowy southeastern Massachusetts!  

I've been wanting to show you my 'vintage' 1973 Dom Perignon bottle for a while now.



A real beauty, bringing an air of dignity


and celebration


to my holiday table


but wait!  what's this?


                                                       ahha!  an edible champagne bottle ~ clever!!


have you ever??? 

I just had to show you this one before I eat it... (tomorrow:)

Made by Carol, and the label is edible too!

December Mantel ~ two styles

                                                              


Good Evening Curly Q's...Playing around with my holiday mantel this fine evening and the star of the show (besides Madonna of course) is my new/old Belguim crate shelf!  The postman just dropped it off and up it went!  In the knick of time too because I was desperately needing some inspiration for that Jeanne d'Arc French Nordic style that I adore.



Shall we go serene or add a bit of whimsy? I like them both!




Look at my snippet of vintage French monogrammed ribbon ~


As I was tying it on the pitcher, the lollipop that was reserved for a special little boy's package worked it's way up there!  His mama & papa will be happier this way.



So what do you think?  I'm leaning toward the lollipop look...

Hope all your days are merry & bright!
