The lovely Niki from Nostalgia At The Stone House had taken this picture below and posted it on her other blog Nostalgia At The Stone House-My Creations which is a beautiful archive of all her handmade creations.......i had seen these lace baubles and cooed over how beautiful they were to Steve telling him how i wished they were mine.......
When the postman handed me a box yesterday i was a little puzzled as i had not been expecting anything,well when i opened the box and looked under the tissue the beautiful lace baubles i had seen on Niki's blog were sat sparkling right before my very eyes,i actually cried because i was so touched and it really has made my Christmas special,thank you Niki so very much for such a lovely thought and gift that i will treasure always xxx
Inside was a postcard and the pretty picture was taken from Niki's Nostalgia Calenders and it stars on the month of October,we had chatted about the calender during our emails and we had both declared it was our favorite,so sweet of her to remember and to add to my already wonderful gift....i began finding a home for my lace baubles.....
It was hard to fit them on my Christmas tree as it was so full so i hung them from the chandelier and they looked lovely sparkling with my pale pink 1920's feather boa........
I have a tray of glasses waiting to be glamoured with glitter and greenery before our guests arrive Christmas Eve so i popped them in my pink wine glasses........
Squeezed them on my Christmas tree,how gorgeous do they look? they look so old and Victorian i am in love......
I thought they would look beautiful on an all white tree and then i remembered the faux German feather tree i had bought last year and searched high and low in the attic until i found it.......
Draped in lace with a feather top all soft in white how pretty would this be in our bedroom.....
For Niki.....
Fair be your days that come and go,
I write these lines to let you know
That greetings fond and wishes true
Dear heart,all these i wish for you.
taken from a postcard of good cheer,1900.
Tonight i will dream of Christmas Eve and a White Christmas just like dreamers do....thanking Niki for making one of my wishes come true......
Sweet Dreams for me and sweet dreams for you too,
If my wish came true then i pray your wish will too.
The End XxX
