My sideboard / dresser was still not done .... what to do ...
Coffee time - my lovely little niece & I bought each other matching mugs in Johannesburg so we think of each other across the miles ....
I unpacked some favourites - I love these Emma Bridgewater pieces - they just epitomise Christmas
These are needed too ...
Mince pies are always eaten at Christmas on this gifted plate. I like having them on hand on the sideboard / dresser as they can be used easily when needed.
A few things are needed that make you smile ....
I sometimes cut fresh ivy & holly for the winter solstice but with all the snow, that is not happening so some faux strands will help for now ...
The cheese board & cake stand were Oliver Bonas gifts from the girls & they like being there ...
Green, purple, red, white candles on the top will be used over the festive season. I love having the candle sticks on the top ready for the table at night ...
It always feels more festive when the sideboard looks ready & we have the special plates & bowls at hand that we will need. How is your planning going? Thank you for stoping by & taking the time to read & comment!
