December 23rd
Running low on days to post Advent items so here are several in a group.
The little figures surrounding the ribbon tree are really gift boxes of sort.
Here's the largest.
They open up to reveal a spot to put a very small item like a ring.
I brought these home when my mother moved to assisted living. I've always thought they were super cute. I think someone gave these to my mom over the course of four years but I don't really know for sure their provenance.
[Maybe Granny Sue with her antique background can tell me more.]

I did manage to snag a fresh turkey breast yesterday at the store. I was the only one in the case. The rest were whole turkeys. Today I intend to brine it.
The grocery store was incredibly busy for a Monday but it was before Christmas so not fully unexpected.

Here's another musical interlude from Dan's brass quintet. They play at a school this afternoon and then at a church on Christmas Eve. I'll be attending the latter event. Then they play on the 31st for First Night in New London, NH. I've never been to a First Night event so that will be an adventure for me.

I love your pretty table centerpiece, and the collectibles are darling. How nice you will be listening to Dan's brass quintet. They are excellent and I enjoyed the video of them playing. Thanks so much! I am also very happy you enjoyed the kitty humor on my blog this morning enough to send to your daughter. Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year! From Denise :)
Music being played by live musicians is certainly a delight, and maybe a surprise to those walking by this snippet of concert. Love the tiny little "pill boxes" with Christmas themes.
