Christmas in the Cupboard

With just a week left before Christmas, I still have a few things around the house that I've wanted to share with you. My Holiday Cupboard went all white this year, as I sorted through my putz houses and churches. I  was going to do just white ironstone and a few new (to me) pieces of red transferware, but each time I thought about it, I knew my little churches needed to come back out.

just a little wonky steeple.

I love these guys, he looks like he has on a "stache", te he.

 Print of a church from England from an old book plate.

 I hope they're not head butting!

Most of my little churches are old, but a few are new, and then some are made to hold candles inside. Pretty much a mish mash, but I love them.

 This print from the 40's makes me long for the more simpler times in life; bundled up, walking to the country church.

Looks like my helper is fancying a little "Christmas Goose"!

Welcome to The Marketplace: Just a little more for Christmas!

Hello Everyone, how's the Christmas Shopping going? (I'm not quite finished yet) A few weeks ago I won a great Give Away from Kristen at Ella Claire, the Shoppe. I used my gift certificate for an insane amount of the wonderful Cinnamon Mocha Candles. Don't they look edible? Well, they smell that way too. So I just wanted to say a big Thank You, and invite you over to her shop.

And Kristen knew how much I love her banners, so she sneaked this into the candle shipment. Thank you Kristen, I have it up on my mantel, hopefully pics coming this week!!

We've had a super turnout here at The Marketplace these last several weeks. Hope you'll continue to come by and link up all your great Etsy and Online Boutique items. Next week we'll take the day off since it will be Christmas Eve and there will be family fun going on. So be sure and make a mental note to come back strong on New Year's Eve for some more shopping fun. This linky is for items that are FOR SALE ONLY. Link up to three of your items, hopefully with a direct link to the individual item. Thanks so much for coming by to link up and shop!

And thank you for all the congrats on the last post, I appreciate you all so much. What a sweet and generous group you all are!!!

Remember the links are open all week, so drop back by throughout the week to see what new items have been listed. OK, time to shop!
