I'm finally getting to do some commenting! I LOVE your Nativities! I have a lot of Nativities, but don't have these three! The Irish one is so lovely and different. I like the way you have the crystal one displayed! How special to have your mother's Nativity, it looks pretty under the cloche.

I have posted a lot of my Nativity collection for Marty's Cloche party. Come see!

OH! Marty's cloche party! thanks for the reminder -- now I need to go buy a cloche!

LOVE the nativity sets. I still wait to set up our main Nativity set until daughter Anne is home -- it was always her "job" to settle in all the figures. We had some interesting arrangements when she was little!

No, haven't been to Christmas Tree Shop yet -- but soon! I've been so busy with Thanksgiving company -- but I put them on a plane this morning so I've got my time back!

I love all of your nativity scenes. The one from your trip (ha, ha) and the one with the lovely memories of your Mom.

I also love your kitchen Christmas window. You made me realize that I have a cooking Santa just like that, but haven't seen him yet. I've got to keep digging through all of those boxes!!!

You bring the best things home from you trips :) I love your nativities and how you have them displayed. wish I could grab a snack cracker while I catch up on the rest of your blog!

All lovely nativity sets. Did you get the musical one in Putney, Vt., by any chance? That is the only Santa's Land I can think of. That is VERY close to where I am originally from!
Happy 1 year blogaversary! Can't wait to see what kind of table you will be doing on your blogaversary!
A big Happy 2nd Birthday to Declan!

Love the Irish nativity. I never did see one like that in Ireland but finding it here at TJMaxx is a whole lot cheaper then flying to Ireland these days but Ireland to me is the next best place to heaven! Happy blogaversary and Happy Birthday to the little gson. Wonderful that you have your Moms nativity to remind you of her and her birthday. I am still laughing about your toothpaste in the cookie recipe from yesterdays post:)

I have the same glass nativity scene but have never thought about putting a wreath around it . I have always thought it looked a little stark. No more, thanks.

Great pictures. Your decor (and header) are just wonderful. I really liked the music box that was your Mom's. Sweet memories for you :)

Blessings to you!

Yum. The chicken salad looks good, as does all of your nativity sets. I love seeing everyone's Christmas decorations.
Just a reminder I have you signed up for Dec Doors of Welcome. Yes?

2009-12-01T09:39:54.451-08:00

Kathleen, I've always admired the Irish Nativity set from T J Maxx, very beautiful. And the crystal set is gorgeous ... Lovely sentiment behind the musical nativity ... Your mother does sound like a strong woman; it's never easy to be the sole caretaker for a disabled child.

I'm looking forward to your posts on your blogaversary and Declan's birthday.

2009-12-01T08:01:17.018-08:00

I can imagine that crystal nativity is gorgeous in the dark with lights around it. How special the memories are of your mother and the one you bought her and I am amazed you got the beautiful Irish one at TJ Maxx...good for you!

You know, by the time I remembered my blog's anniversary, two weeks had passed. Maybe I'll remember next year's. Hah.

Kathleen, I'm carefully admiring your Christmas decor, from your Irish pieces, to the gorgeous crystal; I've always been drawn to the latter, and my collection, slowly, continues to grow.

Your musical Nativity gift to your dear mom is particularly beautiful, and beautifully displayed. She would be very proud.

The Irish Nativity is of course my favorite! They would have found its way in my cart if I saw it also!
Love the one of your Moms too...sweet memories.
Can't believe a year has gone by already, you're lucky if Mike remembers your wedding anniverdary let alone your Blogabversary..LOL

2009-12-01T06:06:50.500-08:00

Oh, I love your Irish nativity scene, so sweet with the little shamrocks. I'm tripping over boxes too, but will soon have things organized. I can't believe its December 1.

Hi Kathleen! I love your Irish Nativity! I have found so much really nice imported stuff at TJ Maxx! I get my special French cookies there every year! And the one that you gave your mom is so special. It's nice to have reminders of our loved ones during the holidays. The crystal set looks like an ice sculpture...gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them with us! Have a wonderful week!...hugs...Debbie

Exquisite creches! Do enjoy this day! Cathy

Well of course you know I have to love the Irish nativity set, Kathleen!! It would have a special place in our house, for sure. I have a small crystal set too, and I now know that I need to set it into some greenery to show it off. Thanks for the idea. Now if I can just get something done...
My head is still a bit fuzzy. I have one or two really good days and then BOOM, dizzy spells. Need to check it out because I thought I was much better. Thanks for all your good wishes, my friend.
hugs, Sue

Hi Kathleen,
It's so gorgeous, just like I knew it would be! I am loving the nativities and my grandmother would have been 97 today. My mom is 73. I do miss my Grandmother so much, it must be a bittersweet day for you. Hugs, Cindy

Lovely nativities Kathleen.
I love the one you bought when
you traveled all the way to
TJMaxx!
I enjoyed reading about your Mom, and yes, a strong woman to be admired.

Thanks for the late night snack..

I am loving your header and how you decorated your windowsill. I have a bow window and I never know what to do with it. Also, we are an Irish family and the shamrock Nativity set is lovely.
