Lovely still life, Janet. The surface you've got this arranged on is perfect! All the elements are so carefully laid out, from the clove pieces to the greenery and sprinkles of sugar (or is it cinnamon?) Imagine your home smells wonderful when all these ingredients are brewing.
P.S. The house did smell wonderful! (Denise, you mentioned the sprinkles...they were nutmeg. Thanks for noticing that small detail.)
