NOVA SCOTIA PEWTERS

Today, being twelfth night, is traditionally the day to take down Christmas decorations.  We have taken the pewter ornaments (my cousin sends me one each year) from the tree.  When Max and I lived further north we had them on a pelmet in the sunroom all year but since moving down to Whangarei I have just used them as a Christmas tree decoration.  We decided it was a shame to put them away for a year so Doug made up a board, painted it then attached them before putting it in the glass fronted cabinet in the sunroom.

We are very pleased with them.  We did not have time to take the other decorations down.  May take them down tonight , or may not.






Since taking the photos Doug has put other ornaments back in the cupboard.

  1. What an attractive display. It would be a shame to have them hidden away for most of the year - this way you can enjoy them every day.

    1. Yes, Rosemary, they are beautifully made and each one comes with a description of the subject.

  3. There are some things that I dislike putting away after Christmas because they are so pretty. How nice that you have Doug, the builder, to make that display.

  4. All packed up here too. The tree is on the bonfire, and the baubles back in their box.

    1. Not all put away here yet. Busy day with visits to vet for Sophie and optician for me as well as library and some shopping. Should get it finished tomorrow.
