From our home to yours Gary and I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Gods Blessing to you all!
May Christmas warm your heart with the memories of Christmas's passed and may the future hold love and joy and hopes of all your dreams coming true.
This is our Bible, today while thumbing through the pages I came across this lovely portrait of the Mother Mary looking upon baby Jesus.
I remember as a little girl sitting in Church and trying not to wiggle to much in the pew. I would look through my small white bible that nestled perfectly in my hands. I would look at all the pictures to pass the time and thinking how pretty they were..(its hard for children to sit still for long and I was no exception)
You can enlarge the photo if you like.
Have a sweet day my friends!

The nativity in the cloche is so lovely. What a great way to protect it. What a lovely heritage a family Bible is...yours is wonderful.
Hello dearest Elizabeth,
I love the nativity scene in the cloche, it is so lovely. Your fireplace is wonderful, I don't think I have seen that before, it makes your whole living room so cozy looking, I love it!
Merry Christmas to you and Gary, I have so loved conversing with you via blogs and email, you have enriched my life.
Love and hugs, Cindy

I just love the Bible being part of the room. Just gorgeous.
You made my day (and previous day)!!! It IS a bit lonely here. Yes, this will get done.
I looked for a link to the northern ca bloggers get together and cannot find it. Is there a way to find it?
Blessed Christmas to you and your family, dearest Elizabeth! Thanks for all your sweet words, sooo glad you're enjoying my little ornament! I'm still sick :(( and I know I should rest in bed, but I was starting to feel somewhat isolated, and had to catch up a bit with my favorite blogs;))
Your room is so cozy, and the Bible wonderful.
Big hugs,
Monicax.

I love the nativity/cloche...truly wonderful and all about what Christmas really is.

Merry Christmas, Elizabeth. What a fun visit I have been having with you! Doing a bit of catching up.
This was a wonderful post. AND a beautiful book!
I would love to have a Nativity scene and had one once..and no idea what happened to it. It seems to have vanished in one of my moves...it was hand painted by us and very special to me.
This is a beautiful season..and your post captures it completely!
Love,
Mona
Your home looks so warm and inviting. And centered around the True and Beautiful meaning of Christmas.

Mary Christmas to you too! I used to look at the Bible pictures also. My grandpa's Bible was German, so it always held something to try to figure out!!
Elizabeth I do NOT know why my following you is dropped but I hooked back up today, sorry. That is happening to a lot of mine connections, durnnit it! I'm going thru each one today ...
Merry Christmas hugs, my friend ~

Elizabeth, thank you for the kind words! I wish you and Gary a wonderful Christmas and New year! Traci
Just had to come back again and tell you that I LOVE your LOVE STORY, too! What a blessing to read.
I also absolutely adore seeing Mr. Gary dressed as superman. I'm quite sure our guys would be the best of friends. They are SOOOOOOOOO much alike. Real men not afraid to be just that...REAL MEN!
Merry Christmas to you with a Capital "C"!
Love to you~
Rebecca
Hi there! Wanted to say thanks for saying hello on my blog! So fantastic you too collect three footed tea cups! That's so fun, as I've never met another who has ever really noticed or known about them. Curious how you got started? Do you find them often? Here the are hard to find, which makes my hunt for them so much more fun! I received my grandmothers tea cup collection after her passing 13 years ago. I started antiquing shortly after & realized the fun of searching for similar ones that she had...which turned out to be an obsession for me!!
Hi Elizabeth,
Just wanted to come over and wish you, Gary and your family a very blessed Christmas. May the joy, love and miracle of Chritmas surround you.
Hugs and Kisses,
♥Ana
Best wishes of God's best blessings for you this Christmas, Elizabeth and Gary. Your nativity cloche is so special, as well as your beautiful Bible.
Hugs,
