This really neat Christmas tree is made from aqua limpet shells with a tiny starfish on top. We found it a few years ago while wandering through a few small stores in Cape May, New Jersey. |
Another reminder of a great person is this sock that hangs on our jelly cupboard. My mother, Dorothea, made and gave this to Carol and me in 1993. |
My wife has a collection of deer which are displayed every Christmas season on our coffee table in the living room. This is my favorite deer from her collection. |
Carol's best friend, Margaret, is a talented artist who has given the two of us many pieces of artwork, either in greeting cards or as small pieces of art such as these figurines made of dough. |
Our dining room table is decked out in red and green and features my favorite tree made from twine and seashells. Carol decorates the tree each Christmas with small lights that are battery powered. |
This is a 1994 needlepoint that Carol and our daughter Brynn made together. Always fills a spot on the wall during the holidays. |
These are Clementines that Carol has dipped in liquid chocolate and covered with coconut and pecans. Just delicious. |
A yearly favorite ornament that we purchased in St. Thomas a few years ago and features a hand-painted boat with oars. |
Another very fragile ornament which is beautifully hand-painted and comes from the Bahamas. |
Our travel friend Just Sue made this needlepoint pillow for us for Christmas two years ago. It gets quite a few comments and has found a place in our family room during the Christmas season. |
This old tea kettle has once again come to life after being painted by an unknown artist. We made this purchase years ago in Chesapeake City, Maryland. |
This waist-high piece of driftwood was also purchased in Chesapeake City. Perfect for the season, but this is one item we display year round. |
