Its T Day.

.

The first photo I want to share with you today is  of the  Nativity

 that has sat in  a corner in our lounge for many years at Christmas time.

Yes, the pieces may  look  quite modern, but the potter who made it,  we  thought was way ahead of her times. She assured us back then that no piece she made would ever   be the same. We asked her why she never added detail to the faces, her reply was that we all had different images in our minds about how this special family should look . 

  Hello T day friends at Bleubeard and Elizabeths

where we are always made to feel very welcome with a drinks related post.

 I hope you all had a lovely  day yesterday.

I thought I would share one of the gifts that this guy in red brought me .

It is this gorgeous tactile and wonky piece of tree trunk.

One of my sons  bought it from an artisan woodworker ,

 who creates sets of drawers from logs of wood.

The drinks have been flowing these past few days here, mainly tea for me with an occasional coffee,

but to celebrate Christmas day, I did join the family last night  with  a glass of fizz, I had to wait until this morning to take a photo as the light was to dim. Hence the bottle is empty  and the glass needs a hand wash with the others.

If you live here in the UK I hope you enjoy today's Boxing Day Holiday.

[I've added this link if you are interested in finding out about this bank holiday]

Well this has been a share of the two sides of Christmas,
the festive ones with families and the giving of gifts.
But, personally I think its also a time to remember the true meaning of the season and take time to share some love and hope for more peaceful times in the world.

Happy T day wishes everyone and thank you for calling in to see me today.
Thank you for the friendship, the  feeling of belonging found  here, in this welcoming  crafting family,  when we visit together with our wonderful hosts.
Elizabeth, Bleubeard and Squiggles .
