Ready Or Not....

Christmas Is Everywhere....

So Many things remain unfinished this Christmas, Dear Readers, that I hope you will forgive me if all I have to show is Glimpses of a "Someday" and a "Maybe one Year" Visions in my Mini Worlds! I have only just begun to build the Conservatory, but it has proven to be an irresistible Venue for small scenes and collections of stray items... Can we pretend that Someone, Fleur perhaps, has been using the Conservatory as a Seasonal location to sell her Flowers and Garden Decorations? And Can we think that Sally May happened by and was intrigued by the glimpse through the doors.....

You may not be aware, but her husband Chip is from one of those Old Fashioned New England Families that believe you should Never put your Tree up before Christmas Eve... and Always take it down on Epiphany! This year they have come to spend Christmas with Chip and Sally May and Annabelle, so Sally May is Trying to put on the Right sort of Christmas for them! In this part of the World, it is Late to be out looking for a Christmas Tree..... so Sally May is Overjoyed to find such a Beautiful Tree.....

She Loves the Shabby chic Style, 

and thinks this Silver Glitter Tree will be just Perfect!

She still has a lot of decorating to do.....

but that is supposed to be done After Annabelle is in bed!

It is Not at all the sort of Tree Ernie and Blanche are accustomed to!

But they are kind enough to keep their opinions to themselves!

Annabelle is so excited she is having a hard time Waiting for Santa Claus!!!

But she is still very young and is not Quite sure what it all means!

Sally May is hoping she will go to sleep early.... 

there is so much still to do before morning!

Meanwhile at the Lovely Old Dollhouse, 

Pollyanna has finally set up the Creche!

It is in the Same place as Usual.... 

but she is not sure the figures are in the same places....

Does the Camel always go here?

And speaking of Creches....

I bought a new one last Summer....

A Beautiful Porcelain one....

I wanted to make a special set-up landscape for it.....

But for now it is on display in the Conservatory....

Where Fleur quickly set up another Tree...

For who knows.... there may be other Last Minute Shoppers...

Still looking for the perfect Tree....

And over at the Castle.... 

Ken is still trying to get the perfect Picture of the dogs.....

The lighting will not cooperate....

But he may have to settle for what he can get at this time of year.....

Because Time is Running out, Dear Readers,

And Ready or Not.....

Christmas is Everywhere!

May You All have a Very Merry Christmas!
