Mugz on Monday

I bought this as my 2009 Christmas mug... not expensive but I like it...

And of course I had to have the salt and pepper shakers to match...

Zlatka's Angels

Zlatka (blogless me) sent me a photo of some angels she's made. How cute are they? And love the tree too... This is her Christmas card. Thanks for sharing Zlatka!

PS Zlatka made this for her friend... so charming and elegant...

Angels

It is officially six weeks to Christmas and I have started my search for this year's angel ornament. So far nothing too impressive out there... although this little morsel is impressive. My church had a ladies' coffee night and the guest speaker spoke about the angels and the shepherds and how it wasn't about the angels - it was about the message! And each lady received this yummy gingerbread angel. So far I've resisted biting her head off - lol.

I have quite a few angel ornaments. I blogged about them here.

And then of course there is the most charming angel that Terri sent me. I blogged about her here. She didn't get packed away - she watches over me everyday... my very own sewing angel.

If I can't find the 'right' angel, I won't add one this year, but that would be sad... so of course the only thing to do is - go shopping...
