Dreaming of a White (and silver) Christmas

I have been searching  and gathering from OpShops for all things white for Christmas
Some of my finds so far........






Lots of votives for a few dollars
A set of 8 appetiser spoons . Each one will have a seared scallop wrapped in parma ham
I'm hoping my garden will keep on producing gorgeous white gardenias and impatiens
for the Christmas table
Saturday afternoon was spent installing solar fairy lights in the garden,harvesting fresh garlic (for tonight's curry)and rhubarb(for tonight's crumble)



and finally today...a cuppa with the new Australian Country Style mag Collector's Edition ...it's divine ....all white Xmas tables......



Hi I'm Sascha and this is my mugshot
I have been a very very bad cat. Mum put up a huge artificial fir tree which I found delicious.
BUSTED when  she caught me with needles stuck in my teeth and she had to take it down and put it away.
Mum is not impressed

      The Xmas tree has been put up and taken down again as our Russian Blue cat was chewing the fake pine needles :-(

    Your scallop dish sounds yummy. Your puss is a bit naughty but oh so cute.

    You were lucky to find so many nice, white things for Christmas. Those would be the only white Christmas we would have here. Never snows.

    Love all of your whites, so charming.

    Sascha is such a cutie pie! He looks very apologetic that she upset his mommy. :)

    Happy VTT!
