Re: My Very Simple Christmas Centerpiece

I love your winter centerpiece.  Anything that brings back precious memories brings comfort and happy memories to your home,  And I personally think cardinals can be used any time of year.  Have a peaceful holiday season, and May your memories of your sweet mother bring you comfort.  All my best wishes.

Re: My Very Simple Christmas Centerpiece

@Greeneyedlady21  I love your centerpiece, for its simplicity and the meaning it holds.

 

Of course I never met your mom and have no idea what she looked like.  But I can just imagine the smile on her face when she stumbled on that snowman plate at the thrift store.  I think some of the greatest pleasures in life are the little treasures that come our way, and it seems your mom found that with the cheerful snowman.

 

Maybe you could find a spot in your home where you could display the plate year round.  It could be your reminder of fond memories with mom and that she is sending you hugs and smiles from above.

@Greeneyedlady21  I have the same red bird. I have a similar snowman too. What you've created looks lovely.

Re: My Very Simple Christmas Centerpiece

@Greeneyedlady21   awww. Thanks for sharing.  I’m sorry for your loss.  I have so many Christmas things that remind me of my mom. Yours are beautiful! Even more so, some Christmas songs.  I took more time this Christmas with less rushing and limited visits to reflect more on those I’ve lost.  It was very comforting.  

 

My mom was from WI, but moved and lived in PA for 43 years.  She always cried when she heard I’ll be home for Christmas.  Made me sad, because after 43 years, to me, this was her home, but I get it.  She missed her parents and her childhood home.
