This morning we cleaned the antique crystal chandelier in the dining room, taking each crystal down and washing it, another of our tasks of Christmas preparation. It's rewarding to see it look its glittery best after the cleaning.
After lunch we walked around the Pond and then it was home to tea. Roses are the main focus of my china collection, and I'm very fond of this cup with the lush roses and soft gold edge. I like to use it around Christmas time.
