My first Tuesday's Treasures

I love sharing my Tuesday Treasures

I love this idea - celebrating the special things in our lives.  It can be things, people, feelings or places.      A bit like a gratitude journal really, something I have always wanted to try.  So I have signed up with Melody from House on the Side of the Hill for her monthly Tuesdays Treasures.  And here is my treasure this month.






Yes, I'm afraid my Christmas decorations are still out.  The tree has gone but everything else will be packed away in the next day or two.  This is the first year I've ever had a nativity set.  Ever.  I spotted this set in a shop in December 2011 and fell in love, but couldn't afford it.  The shop offered layby from February onwards though, so I put it away then, and slowly paid it off.  It took me over six months!  It was stupid money really, and Hubby has made the occasional comment about spending so much on a Christmas decoration, but I just HAD to have it!  I'm not even religious!  I know - what a weirdo!  Anyway, I love it, and this is my Tuesday's Treasure.  Thanks for reading!  And thanks to Melody for hosting.

See ya
Helen

  3. Sometimes we make purchases like that (some of us make them even more than others), but we cherish them forever. They are very beautiful and I love a set like that. I'm jealous!

  8. No wonder you had to have it, it is so beautiful. And now you've got it you have it forever so if you balance out the cost over the next 50 years it doesn't seem so pricey.
