My Christmas shopping has been mostly at the store where I work this year and a couple of other places, also some giving of things I have made. My soap is selling here at home without me really doing a thing, like this kind of selling very much!
Best of all, my potter friend Barbara came over today, brought a selection of her pottery for me to choose from and also brought some Cold Mt beer. We sat in my sunny living room, drinking beer, catching up and looking at great pottery. Is this not the very best way EVER to shop? Home delivery, I kept everything she brought!
If you have read my blog for awhile, you know I struggle with this time of year. This holiday. But it's really not fair to those that have to live with me, so I'm trying really hard not to be a grinch. Finding some nice moments that make this holiday season bearable. So far so good.......
It's all good right now :-)

I don't care if you call them tea bread, pound cake, or field greens ! Those loaves look delicious.Good luck with a happy holiday season. I think most of us can use a little more love and a lot less stuff.
Merry Christmas!
Life is pretty dog gone good.
I love your soaps.
The tea bread looks so yummy and so do the soaps!!
I checked totally out of Christmas after JZ died... I am slowly crawling back into it, but doing it differently. The beauty is that creative people can make handmade gifts for people that we really couldn't afford to buy if we had to shop... and the recipients love them more (at least I hope so!).
Plants, hand crafted soap, homemade bread, see, you don’t have to shop at Walmart if you want to give nice gifts.
Simply celebrate winter and friends and family..That's what I do. Some good food, much wine, lots of movies in PJ"S on the couch..perfect.
Your soaps look so amazing!
Trying to catch up on blogs - mostly failing miserably :D
But your posts, Tracey, always have a "heart" that are wonderful to return to.
Love your rustic soaps and your tea bread looks amazing!
Handmade gifts such as these far outweigh the cheap (and expensive) mass produced ones.
Wishing you a simple, honest, meaningful Christmas filled with warmth, kindness and laughter with your loved ones xx
ooops, I mean I'm "mostly failing" to catch up, not that the blogs are failing... sheesh, I need sleep :D
Whew, y'all, I am behind in my replies, so sorry! Thanks for all the comments!
Xoxoxo
