Twas the week and a bit before Christmas....

....and Fiona was dragging out bits and bobs of ornament stuff so her daughter could no longer accuse her of 'spoiling Christmas', because she hadn't put a tree up.

I thought I would pop in and share this photo with you.

 

Folk art / tole painted Wise Men Christmas tray

I painted this folk art tray many years ago.  The pattern is a Jo Sonja piece, taken from an issue of the Artists Journal.tole painting and folk art and decorative painting piece

I love it.  Always have.  But don't think I'd ever paint another one.  Too much work.

Nothing like a flying camel ride, to get you there in style.

And this is a folk art star ornament that I painted from around the same era.  There is a set of them that I usually hang on the Christmas tree.

What about you? Have you been digging out your favourite ornaments yet?
