Pumpkin display

It is so hard to take a good picture of my window displays as it has to be taken through the glass window.
anyhow I took a few of my pumpkin display and here they are as promised.
The pumpkins are really beautiful in a lovely bronze/ gold metal finish. I think I will have to take them out the window and photograph them again to really show you how lovely they are.

Nativity Sets

Back in stock are these lovely nativity sets, one in silver finish and one in painted wood/resin mix.
The silver finish has 5 pieces, Mary holding baby Jesus, Joseph and the three wise kings.
The wood/resin painted set consists of 7 pieces, Mary with baby Jesus, Joseph, three wise kings,
a shepherd and angel.

Today was just perfect, a day when all plans came together. It was the opening of my shop, Marcella~Mia. Customers started arriving from 7am when I opened the doors and the last one left after 5.30pm. There are a wonderful festive spirit with the launch of my new Christmas range and many items sold out. Everyone enjoyed the free refreshments on offer all day and lots of chattering was heared around the table.
Thank you to all those who could attend to make this a special occasion.
Thank you too to those who couldn't be there and who sent their good wishes.
Thank you too for all the beautiful flowers.
