The gifts are so awesome and creative. The snow, lol, not so much. This is fun for us too!
Wow... what thoughtful, clever girls.... Love it all. Such a nice idea, I just may borrow that for next year, for family living far away.
What fun you're having! And I'm having fun right along with you! Looks like you're all set to serve soup or stew on the cold winter nights!
Wow, love all of these treasures!! They did good. Yes, 70 of us crazy crafters created a matchbox advent...an idea for your backpocket for the future. lol Merry CHRISTmas!
Wow! And you did all that without a cup of coffee! I would need a whole pot! :-)

You just cracked me up. Your humor started out my day lol. What a fun way to do Christmas. Your daughters are very generous and know what you like. Have Merry Christmas
Love this post, Such FUN you are having!! I just had to leave a comment...I have coffe mugs that match your little farm scene ramekins. This is the only other time I've seen this design. They are so sweet....guess I'll have to seek more items now:). Have a lovely Christmas season.
blesssings,

I'm so glad you gave an update! These are just wonderful. You have the best daughters!!
Aren't those crocks fantastic looking?? I'm thinking a soup themed tablescape is in the works.
The crocks are my favorite. I have a set and need to haul them out and dust them off. I saw a cooking show the other day where they actually still make Boston baked beans in their crocks in this restaurant. Hmmmm ...
Happy to have you at Simple Pleasures.
What fun! I just love old dishes and crocks.
I was in Atlanta last month and it started out colder than it was here at home in New Hampshire. I'd like to visit Savannah some day.

Such great gitfts..thanks for sharing
That is such a great idea and the gifts are so special. Thanks for stopping by my place and the sweet comments. I just joined you and can't wait to see what you do in GA!
i just bought my boyfriend some scratch offs for his stocking, so hopefully he'll be as lucky as you've been! and those seeds...how special it will be to see the flowers of your loved ones' garden in your own garden. that is truly special.
and speaking of luck, tho-i knew it was gonna come back down. this morning i got rear ended. luckily i don't think the damage is bad, but it was a HARD hit. oy.
Hi! So fun to get to be apart of this wonderful series you have going on with your lovely family! I could have sworn I was already a "follower" but for some reason my face didn't pop up so I did it again for good measure. :-) Thanks so much for linking this up to Inspiration Friday this week!

I loved going to Patti's Settlemnent whenever we go to Lake Barkley on vacation!! What a fun way to enjoy the days of Christmas!
I love your soup crocks, especially the ones with the Soup Tureen! I picked some up like those a while back, but they didn't have the matching Tureen. Great find!
