THE 2020 FRENCH CHRISTMAS PUTZ

Post by **maria** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 5:22 pm

Featuring church by Howard Lamey; little blue castle by Karl Fey; numerous vintage pieces----this year's display brings new meaning to the old saying---when life gives you lemons, make lemonade---first a plate I had planned to use in this display from a previous year---somehow broke in the box----then the battery operated lamp post died---in the box---as well as developed a split along the seam----fortunately you find inspiration in what you have on hand.....

Maria...
I can tell it’s Christmas when your French theme vignette is set up...I always look for a new addition or two...

I keep hoping a third ship will come sailing in on Christmas Day in the morning...that old carol is one of my favorites...

Yes indeed. I have been looking for that third ship for years myself. One is a vintage pillbox, the other with the large sails is newer---about ten years old; we had an absolutely marvelous jewelry shop called Trinkets in town---now long gone----that always found the most marvelous things........

And they didn't break the bank.
